thanks pos, i'm not looking for the "cheating glory hole" but if you cant drill parralel (except for maybe "step-out" holes) and you cant drill straight down, then how do they prove depth without shooting a hundred holes at deeper and deeper intervals?

it just seems to me that if a deposit is 3-dimensional, should'nt you drill the deposit at different angles and approaches?

mining is crazy!

BTW, Sasha says they are updating some of the maps and it could be done as early as today. he said nothing about results, it sounded more like corrections/additions/deletions type of stuff.
