I believe it was stated in one of the conference calls that yes, there was problems with the drill, so drilling was stopped(no need to waste money on a drill they knew couldn't pull any cores). I believe it was mentioned that a different drill was needed.

But the drilling wasn't happening on the waste rock. I believe it was the lost holes in the Mike zone was it not?(I have to dig through my notes and listen to the calls again).

Actually that would be a great question to ask and get confirmation on. I don't believe there would be a reason not to give an answer to that.
