At the Vancouver conference Brian discussed the bulk sample plans at length. Larry Hillesland and colleagues have been working steadily on the permits to do a bulk sample decline this year - i.e. maybe have it done by Xmas.

A key point is the nuggety nature of the GM and Hercules. A bulk sample will likely show better results than suggested by core sampling, where lots of nuggets just get bypassed by the drill. Once you have the decline, you have a new platform to drill from as well.
