Can anyone tell the forum how much longer that the ice is going to last on the lake to land the Hercules Aircraft to bring in the big loads??? Just a little concerned here that the deep drills may not make it into the Ring until next year at this time, at which point I will be very disappointed with the FN's for stalling exploration for a WHOLE YEAR!!!

I respect their peoples and opinions, but to stall deep drilling exploration for a full year??? To me, that is not acceptable. I suggest that the Martin Falls and Webequie get on with their negotiations already and resolve things up there... Delaying deep drilling up there by a year will help NOBODY in the long run. That is MY opinion, and I will not change it.

So Wes... get on your horse and get yourself going already. The ice will be melting shortly, and it's time to get drilling deep... I would really like to see this area mining BEFORE it is time to leave any and all wealth to my child... and I'm only 46!!!!!

Let's "get er done", as I have heard someone else here say.....
