Thomas, hole 15 may be close to completion but if they had success with the new drill company and crew of 24 hour a day drillers they may go deeper then they had first planned.

it would be great to see results on hole 15 by the end of the month ( 11 days ) as you state but i don't think we see assays by may 31st. we will be into June a little bit maybe even the middle?

do they combine a strata gold success news release with a hole 15 release? or spread it out. as for good drill results? i am not counting on anything from the market. hole 14 was a good hole showing multiple intersections and they yawned. the market is dumb most of the time, stupid to the down side then stupid to upside, they can't seem to see anything right now, we should not be at 33 cents true. blockbuster hole we could see some action and i would like to see how the market reacts. the number you site from the presentations by chad seem reasonable and hence exciting to wait for.

The second half of 2009 will see multiple things happen with this company some expected some not. ALL GOOD though. IT is picking up a lot of steam among smart money in the chat pipeline. some are on board others are certainly aware of us.

i am not sure we see immediate further drilling at strata properties as you state, once it closes. i think they will try push production on heap leaching at eagle and drill Santa Fe next and then summit.
