madams,

Your thinking is along the same lines as mine. I thought it odd that they would call every few hours.

I'm just beginning to wonder if they are disappointed with the company they utilized for  some particular core samples. They have utilized several different outfits including one here in Thunder Bay in the past. In the new year they just may want to choose a location that will be a little more cooperative perhaps.

You run into the wrong individual at these places and they could get snippy for "being bothered". They feel the power they have over a company and consequently its share holders. There is also the envy factor.

It sound to me like they may be getting jerked around or stalled. Hence the reason for so many calls.....and as was posted they will do something to rectify the situation in the new year......Don
