frnwid1, For the most part I would agree with your thought about further drilling but if there happens to be a real "hot prospect" or two then for the cost of drilling just a couple of holes might be a wise way to procede. Just think of the share value if they could say we've discovered another possible ore body or two and show assays of what they'd found. Can always drill them out at a later time to see sizes and concentrations. Would make the whole land value of staked claims feed the share values to greater highs. Just my thought on the subject but I could be wrong. One hates the possibility of being bought out by a big fish only to later find out that there were other amazing finds in claim areas that we suspected as one of those "hot prospects".
