there is so much emphasis on the deep drills..... like we're "finished" if we don't get those in in time..... that the sp will rocket to the basement. I wonder what would happen if they just kept drilling with the drills they have and surprised us with something terribly significant at AT 12.... you know..... like 50 metres of 3.5 or 4% NI. Well I guess people would say.... "but they're not the deep drills on Eagles Nest... we're done for!!" Amazing perspective some have. I also wonder at the difficulty of getting those drills in if they already have a good indication from present results that it would be worth the extra cash to bring them in with alternate means. The sikorsky would be good. I believe they are a standard for CA hydro. They pop the guys from tower to tower with these things carrying some very large payloads into the rough. NOT has already been looking at alternate logistics for getting the NI out including over water transportion. What's a couple of drills? Think big folks, they probably already have it worked out and arrangements tentatively made. I personally don't think they'll wait for anything they don't have to.

Just my opinion.
