I believe Dan has addressed the fact that they will be mining it themselves and we should get a NR on how the Gekko testing is going sometime soon with updated 43-101. He also mentionned selling the quarry materials locally to help offset the mining expenses. I am optimistic on them being able to get things into production without hurting shareholders.
Remember we are currently only dealing with the open pittable stuff and they are finding that mineralization goes much deeper and may be comparable to what Goldcorp has just north of here on their property going 3000 deep w/high grade gold. Could be a very substantial resource we are talking about. The sooner they find the feeder system, the sooner we should start getting more bonanza type holes and they will start to understand what's under the ground more making drilling much easier and more efficient.
Don't base everything on the next few holes or the ones recently, remember it can and most likely will get much more exciting for us as we go into production in '09 and really start to get a clear picture of where the high grade stuff lies!
That's my view. Feel free to disagree logically.
