Hey JD.....thanks for the geological thoughts.....the possibility of surprises in this event(s) is high I think.....in that sometimes the true geology of some mines is not known til after it is mined....nature and geology can play 'smoke and mirrors' with mineral deposits. The old saying 'Gold is where you find it' comes to mind. One more question for you .....there was an earlier report(suggestion) that our area was in fact 'overturned'....is this thought still in play?.....and if so, what are it's implications for supposed 'motherload? Thanks again! sambone
