Thanks Sandstorm, thought I was talking to myself here.
I have had a number of emails with Harp and so far he has been candid and clear with his responses to my inquiries. It seems that they are sampling the property methodically, using sound methods. With a placer deposit sampling locations should be closer,IMO, than what is completed. However I believe that a good snapshot of the deposit will be defined by samples taken to-date, enough so that first phase processing circuit can be designed and mobilized, that will be the "puddin'"!
The cash generated by this first phase mining ought to give DLKM some breathing room financially. It would be nice to see this property develop without further dilution.
Placers are tricky to evaluate, values are highly erratic and usually found in paystreaks. The next round of samples should indicate if we will get transparent disclosure, in a form that we can understand.
