1) Please confirm SGX will be drilling Jacobus East before Christmas '08

they have stated several times that they will strip and expose overburden until the ground freezes and they will drill after the ground freezes. Since Mother Nature sometimes plays games, this is not a fair question. They may still be stripping.

The answer is ... Depends on the weather. My guess is Jan/Feb '09

2) Why are the results/analysis of program from GOLD HILL "delayed" from end of Sept/08 to sometime in the FALL/08 ?

Who cares. Any news now would not move the SP one Iota no matter how good it is. In fact, I'd be really pissed if they released gold hill news as it would cost them money to do that. Juniors have fallen on hard times and the ones which survive will be the frugal ones.

Under the circumstances we are in, I'd say they are doing an amazing job of keeping us updated on Jacobus east given the frequent website updates.
