(PRESS PROFILE TAB FOR FACT SHEET & UPDATES)
On May 6th two drill rigs were observed by a pilot associate of mine. They were operating on the Bruce Zone. This was probably in-fill drilling just to complete the model, not so much to find new ounces.
I think it takes at least two months for results to make it back to the company, but then again, they have have been a bit backed up due to the period of time with 3 drill rigs operating in the February or so time frame.
Note, I think that the number of personnel working at the camp is suitable scaled for all the work invovled in keeping two drills going 24/7, and that 3 drills going full tilt would require more personnel then they have. So maybe the 10 weeks could be the turn around time, even with ACME doing their work at the camp and flying samples directly to Vancouver.
Suppose that those rigs were busy up to 2 weeks after may 6, that plus 10 weeks would lead to the end of July in any case. If this reasoning is correct, and with just 2 rigs busy now, maybe they been catching up on any backlog, cutting turn around time down so that in August there will be Goodwin Lake and Clan lake results in hand from drilling up to end June?
