I spoke to Mike last week. I asked about the drills. Apparently, Teck is going through an internal audit of the drilling contractors we usually use to see if they comply with their safety etc etc... I asked him how long, he said it shouldn't take too long for them to approve the sub contracts and get the drilling going.

Currently, Teck is under a cost cutting efficiency program.

Good to hear Teck is taking charge of the project and making moves. This bodes very well for the project. If Teck has higher standards for contractors this should mean less mistakes and delays during drilling.... and during core analysis. Unlike CUU, Teck will not waste time on poor drilling and slow essays.

Can't wait to see some results out of this "Phase 1" drilling.
