The Big picture is the fact that the Hinge went from a 1 1/2 Km ramp started to the Cartwright just as they were getting good results on the Hinge last fall. In less than a year they have totally shifted focus to mining the hinge, and in the first 8 months produced enough ore to pay for it out of development ore and a couple of production faces. We now have 9 faces, a new camp to accomodate miners who now can be hired and rumour has it they have had as much as 600 T days recently. If they can do that consistently and I think they will, the Hinge will produce 120k oz or more next year by itself with the bulk sample grades.

Who gives a Rat's Butt about the method that they use to account for it. Some people have unrealistic expectations and consider a 10k share position to be big enough to give them whining rights, and then flag FC for the same thing. This is a public board, remember that!

The 3 wild animals are roaring loudly as some charge forward with the drill. Who knows maybe the former JV partner will discover the way to the gold this year too so that Traps can restock the wine cellar.
