Acquiring claims is fine, but it can prove to be too much to effectively deal with. In a commodity bull market it may actually be a good thing, but I worry that they spend too much time and effort getting new claims than actually working on the claims. It costs money to get new claims and they have to be maintained. Getting new claimes does nothing for the SP as long as nothing is found on those claims.

If they are confident that there is a high probablity of good stuff to be found on those claims, yes good for them(and for us in the long run). However, I hope(and think) that they will work full out at Hercules and report something good within the next couple of months, so we all can relax a little more and plan for the trip to Hotel Kodiak.
