If I,m reading this NR right, it appears that drilling and trenching has begun! After going over the NR I see more highlights.
The trenching program has been designed to confirm the direction, size and continuity of the mineralized
structures and to delineate additional drilling targets. In conjunction with the trenching program, St.
Elias will be commencing its 2011 drilling program. In an effort to increase the pace of trenching, the
Company will utilize both local labor and mechanized trenching methods.
It appears they are gonna focus a lot on the unknown, to me this is excellent and is exactly what I wanted. By doing this we will be getting new info and INCREASING the extents of gold. They need to uncover these new found near surface Titan targets so they can get the dip of these veins to drill, hence the trenching.
We have seen what appeared to be near surface mineralization from the Quantec slides, and I wont be surprised to hear of visable gold found while digging these trenches. The Quantec has shown them exactly where to focus their attention and they are gonna do it there. By utilizing the Quantec info, they can,t miss!
They are not dragging their feet as you can see above, they are using machinery and manual local labour to speed things up.
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
