Well here we sit and from what I understand the drill is still turning.
Let me tell you all what I don't want:
We received the NR that the grab samples from the property due North of E1 and to the East of the Probe property. Now from what I understand i the drilling began at the outcrop to the very west of the block. Because the block is elongated or lateral rather than square, the outcrop is a significant distance away from where the cobalt et al perked from deep to surface. It did not come from the North or the West IMHO.
I would hate to hear that they drilled for 2 weeks and had to give up the drill because of other obligations. I would also hate to hear that they drilled the outcrop but did not drill the rich area directly north of E1 where they found the grab samples.

Now from what I recall, Palmer was setting up the area getting ready to drill. He completed this task and then we were informed that the drill would not be arriving.
So Palmer took the time to go and walk the property in snow shoes. That is when he found the outcrop and brought a chunk of rock back with him. That walk was a few kilometers.
O.K. So far we have the area all set up to drill. No drill so Palmer leaves. now he wants to drill the outcrop first. O.K. but don't spend too much time there.
So what I don't want to hear is that they will drill the hot spot next time!! The reason I am concerned is because I heard the drill will be gone soon so I hope they got as much work out of it as they could.
