The trenching has produced many, many samples and with the labs all backed up it couldn't be done in any reasonable time, so I believe the trenching assays were shelved because of favoring the drill reports. More than one poster (before this mess) has noted they thought the trenching should be done first.

I am beginning to think the unrest of the posters, as I alluded to earlier, has led to this premature reporting of the first drill results. I am pretty sure that when all the surface trenching is completed it will show that an open pit mine is feasible.
