It is very good to see, that Noront is doing more work on this zone.
Because in their "discovery NR" of Triple J (Oct. 27, 2009), they stated, that no further drilling was planned:
"No drilling is currently planned for the Triple J zone at this time. The Company's immediate objective remains the aggressive resource expansion at Eagle's Nest which is ongoing as of the date of this press release."
Now, after re-assaying results are back, a new plan has been developed:
"Noront’s geophysical interpretation of the area southwest of the drill-tested portion of Triple J suggests numerous cross cutting structural features along the interpreted extension of the Triple J zone. These structural features are believed to represent excellent targets for additional gold mineralization. Noront is currently operating an auger drill from surface, testing the bedrock/ overburden contact zone. Geochemical samples from this drilling will be used in conjunction with the geophysics and the structural model for Eagle’s Nest – Blackbird complex to refine the exploration plan for the Triple J zone."
Although an auger drill does not really mean "drilling deep", it is a starting point for this exciting discovery.
The fact that further work is done here speaks for itself.
