Blackfly, It is great that drilling has begun at Richardson Lake but I really wonder about the timing?? They will be just nicely started and then likely shut down for two weeks for the X-mas holidays and abandon the equipment to the elements. I am not sure the effect this has on the restart of the drills etc but one would think that it would be better to keep them turning,once started. Just my thought but maybe irrelevant. In any event I hope the drill crew enjoys their holidays and will give us a belated X-mas present in January. the deputy
