Why deeper drilling is likely

NOT reported:
Eagle Two and Blackbird One occurrences (AT2 anomaly)
(The current drilling has continued to extend the mineralization containing visible copper-nickel sulphides to a vertical depth of 660 metres.)
Also DE1 is reported as open at depth.
The AT 2 anomoly is yet to be fully valued into NOT ... Look at what NOT is saying in comparison to the results assayed to date... The reported holes are for earilier shallower holes.
This indicates to me that PRB may well find they end up drilling deeper holes untill total depth of structure is known. That would also assume continuation of drilling is because they are in mineralization or at least the host magatic intrusion.
Several holes may well end up over 600 meters in depth.
That may explain why Dave is not expected out till near month end....3 weeks rather than the 2 weeks originally planned/ reported in the news release.
I hear we may get an update next week if the assays are back on Victory and maybe an update on how the McFaulds drilling is progressing.
