The discussion here has been great lately. Thanks to each of you for contributing to my DD. As usual, we quickly threw almost all of the UC potential on the table at once.

My interest in Lightning & Hook is based on the learning experience. After completing several aerial surveys, Jim & our consultants were convinced that spending PP $$ on these targets was warranted. The Arial surveys gave us fabulous looking colorful blotches on the map, but unfortunately those holes dusted. However; there was some learning going on. Since then, new algorithms and much better interpretation of the surveys is possible.

The benefit of using contractor companies for the aerial surveys and consultants for interpretation is that these folks learn from their experience in the RoF and promote the development and sophistication of their science. (Their competitive advantage) I believe that these advancements have taken place since the Lightening / Hook days.

Also, since then Jim has had some areas of the properties re-surveyed. (BTW from what I can figure … only a small percentage of the total land area has been surveyed).

Nemis and Novak knew their stuff and were successful in discovering Cu, Zn, Ni & Cr without these scientific advancements. I would like to know if the Lightning / Hook areas were re-surveyed and I would love to know the interpretation of the aerial surveys completed this past winter.
