Another excellent discussion. Just a few comments/speculations:

1. From the data that we have available, I can see a slight plunge, say at some 15 degrees, which is not that steep a plunge, but it would be good to have drills that can reach depths greater than 600m or better still around 1000m or 1200m to cover the potential HGZ extension from 2000SE to the other side of the lake. Yes, of course it would be more difficult (and slower) when the drill bit gets deeper.

The currently available data can only address the upper boundary of the deposit. One cannot say anything with uncertainty, about the lower boundary of the HGZ, since there are no data (drilling stopped short). Take the holes at 2000SE for example, they did not go beyond 600m. It would be nice to pick one or two holes in this area and continue to go deeper (say to 1000m) to see if the HGZ is still open at depth. If the high-grade intersections are increased by x2, then it would be reasonable to expect twice the volume for the HGZ.

2. Similarly, one can set aside one of the 4 drills and do some "wildcat" drilling (on 100% PRB claims on the other side of the lake). However, this would not be just some blind drilling and hope for the best (like rolling the dice in Las Vegas). PRB must have some indication, airborne survey, or ground IP (chargeability?), like those shown for GQC Romero deposit, and set the drill in the middle (?) of the "red blobs" on the new drilling propects (100% PRB lands).

Not sure about if it would be possible to get these map over water, dragging the probe over the lake bottom, may be? (I'm not an expert in in this stuff, hence the terms/techniques I used may not be correct), but Dave would have that sort of information on the land portion, say around hole 256, to correlate his "red blobs" with the drill results. If hole 256 hit the bullseye of a red blob (assuming that Dave has this information available) then it would be safe enough to have future exploration drilling in the confine of these areas on the new drill areas.

Perhaps we should pass along this Star Trek phrase to Dave... Go boldly "where no man has gone before". Not blindly, of course, but guided by geophysics.

My speculation again. Your speculations always welcome.
