I guess its pretty hard to drill 60% nickel and 20% copper especialy with that 28 grams of platinum and 24 grams of palladium gumming up the bits. I know that the 1000 meters of this type of rock takes a long time to test with all the equipment set for lower grades. Maybe we should sink a shaft straight down the highgrade Eagle One throat into the belly of the beast and quit playing with drills except for skipping around the peat and ponds looking for the next surfacing of the conduit or another one of the elephants legs. The money spent on deep drilling could be put to this shaft as the shaft would be digging into money(ore) to fill the bank for more exploritory searching for surface ore. Drilling from the bottom of a 1200 foot shaft is more sensible. We just need a couple of holes now to say its there, we don't need to prove it, if Noront mines it themselves. The money from just Eagle one is enough to get the infrastructure for the rest of the ore.
