Traps....that has been my thinking as well....in fact, when I was up there a year ago, Bill Ferreira identified a hot zone just off the SW corner of the JV property. Knowing that things are trending in a NE direction, I figured there is a very good chance that the gold zones extend into the JV area. I am amazed that all reports todate have been so "empty" of decent results. It has almost seemed like it was planned to be that way and that the real effort would happen at a later time (when it suited the parties better). Of course, no one would ever admit that and no one can prove that, but it just did not make sense that the results have been so dismal when everything all around is so rich. In reviewing the JV agreemnet and noting that the terms change after Aug 2008, maybe that tells us something. Who knows.

As for the dog-leg above the new zone, it is hard to say.
