Drilling 1 hole can find an ore body but it takes many many holes to define the size and shape of the ore body so it can be developed in the most expedient way for mining efficiently. Without the geological layout of all the ore bodies major boo boos would inevitably occur.
In trying to get an understanding of the geology they have discovered more and more ore bodies which has led to neccessary changes in their development plans which has made it impossible to meet their production expectations.
It is my opinion that Dale has done an excellent job of dealing with the neccessary changes that had to be made. A real Miner. I think that bringing George on board was neccessary to lighten Dales work load.
All these holes that are being drilled are also neccessary to put out a 43-101 that even comes close to reflecting what we have in Bisset conglomeration of ore bodies.
I hope this post clarifies some of the misunderstanding that a lot of you non-miners have had.
