I do not recall the type of aerial thay had but they did fly the entire area all around Voisy's Bay at about the time thay Map Staked the areas thay believed to be the most prospective. The Ovid gave them such a strong respones reading that they wsed that as their starting place. The remainder did show on the First Generation ETEM or like flyover (s) in places but generally the Eastern deeps were too deep to have any real measure on. The general geology did help with figuring out the general location in which to try step out drilling once moving away from the Ovid and given that they had something of a workable theory relatively early on.

From what we have read and heard on the DE area it appears that there is much interfearance from host rock and reworking of the placement Event(s). It is being now suggested that Neil Novak wealth of experience in the area from the many years prior has allowed him and his consultant Geo's, given the data (ETEM's, Ground Geophysics, Drill Cores,etc.), to now feel much more confident that they have a good (much better) working understanding of where and how to look for the valued minerals in the rather well worked over Geology. The BMK News out today finally conceeds that the Noront developing understanding through last fall was or is apparently superiour to their initial Theory. And BMK is now adopting the necessary prespective to move forward to their own better success.

Good to see the rivalry is subsiding and cooperation for the benefit of all is beginning to develop. Many, including myself, were quick to understand that what is there is likely to stay put and the type of competition that the backers of BMK came in with was but childs play.

NOT on TOP!
