Good points. People should not forget about Jacobus Ni-Cu deposit AND the fact that recent geochemical work suggests there may be a deeper more massive sulphide at depth AND the fact that SGX found unexpected high grade Au on this side of the property (not suprising now given magnitude of KXL discovery... slide 37 illustrates just how close even the Cu-Ni side of Jacobus is to 'Golden Grail' vein for example). SGX Jacobus property has huge potential and Cu-Ni deposit just one small part of it.
IMO it's a now given SGX has something significant at East Jacobus (quite an understatement LOL). Many of us here have been convinced for some time. Now (although I am sure they were convinced well before now) KXL is convinced enough to publicly include SGX recent discovery in their PR material to clearly demonstrate the size of this system. SGX just needs $2-3 million to drill a few holes. Simple right? LOL. I have no doubt they will come up with the money and it will be interesting to see how they do it. They have already said they will strip and trench until 'the snow flies', identify drill targets as they go, and drill during the winter. That's not far away now. IMO once SGX pulls just 4-5 holes similar to KXL, SGX will be in the 'KXL club' and financing will not be a problem from that point forward. Problem is getting that 'bridge financing' so to speak. I also agree with Jerry... a healthy JV with KXL would take care of all future cash flow problems IMO. I still stand by my previous thoughts on this...
"Let's hope SGX can use their 'financial expertise'... can't see them doing a PP at these prices... unless exclusively to insiders (my first choice) or large institutional buyer (i.e. bought-deal) at a higher-than-market price... further dilution at these prices (via standard PP) not acceptable given prospect of very significant discovery at SE Jacobus IMO. Make them pay. Different market I know but they were willing to 'pay' for KXL... SGX just needs to remove any doubt of extension with extensive stipping, trenching, and sampling (underway!) and then some comparable drill results. The rest (as they say) will be history! LOL".

Amazing... 36 recos and counting. Obviously a great 'Technical Corner' presentation.
In addition to fantastic commentary re: Onaman and Jacobus Golden Extension, one quote that really stood out for me re: Jacobus Cu-Ni:
"We have recently done some geochemical work on analyzing various metal ratios which can indicate where you are in terms of the massive sulphide system. The geochemical work suggests that there may be a deeper more massive sulphide at depth. We're evaluating that work now. We've also done metallurgy which we're in the process of evaluating. So this is going to, potentially point to, an eventual program to trace this down-dip particularly with the geochemical results."
For those new here... excerpt fro Jan. 18, 2008 NR re: Jacobus Cu-Ni and "magma chamber at depth"... this was hot topic of discussion in the early part of 2008:
"However, the presence of pyroxenitic fragments which are estimated to be 10 per cent of the fragments in the inclusion-breccia mineralization suggest that at least some of the fragments were derived from an ultramafic part of the intrusion, or from a magma chamber in the lower crust. Based on previous studies and preliminary current work, the Ni-Cu deposit has a simple mineralogy of pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite, with minor magnetite and pyrite. Ore to metal ratios and geological relations for Jacobus show similarities to Xstrata's Montcalm deposit located outside of Timmins, Ont."
The following cross-section of the Jacobus Cu-Ni deposit was released subsequent to this NR. Note the scratchy red area to the lower-left. This area was not depicted in previous versions of this cross-section... this area represents, as explained in recent 'Technical Corner' presentation, "deeper more massive sulphide at depth"...the geochemical work was done to test this... seems they have confirmed there is likely something else (typically larger and higher grade) down-dip. SGX will need some money to continue this exploration no matter how favorable chances of discovery may be.
Let's hope SGX can use their 'financial expertise'... can't see them doing a PP at these prices... unless exclusively to insiders (my first choice) or large institutional buyer (i.e. bought-deal) at a higher-than-market price... further dilution at these prices not acceptable given prospects of very significant discovery at SE Jacobus IMO. Make them pay. Different market I know but they were willing to 'pay' for KXL...

P.S. KXL just went green! Hope it sticks. Will reversal be as dramatic as the drop? Never know.
