It can be very frustrating and its good to let it out once in a while. I'm sure that many on the board are frustrated.
Lets direct the frustration where it belongs and that is where the bottleneck occurs. At the labs.
It has little to do with NORONT. Its out of their hands now. You can hear or feel the frustration in the offices of some of thee plays.
Sure they are making arrangements for a quick turn around but lets keep in mind that the drill rigs have increased exponentially which equals more core and more backlog which then equates to the labs requiring more hands. They are head hunting all over the world for Geos for Ontario as well as for the Labs.
So if the labs are required to hire unskilled workers there will be a learning curve which will also take time.
I am in the process of making arrangements for a tour of the Lab here in Thunder Bay with my camera. I have already approached Agoracom who's support I have so which may help open doors to cooperation from ACTS.
So here we go with the patience factor. Our day is coming. Just taking a little more time....Don
