To put it all in perspective:

Point -1-

Kodiak currently has 60k drilling planned for 2008

Éléonore Property had:

247 drill holes for 86 km of diamond drilling were completed on the property by Virginia Gold Mines over perhaps 15 months. In 2006, Goldcorp completed an additional 245 diamond drill holes for some 76 km of drill core.

Point -2-

Kodiak soon to have 5 drills churning (suggest that people look at comparing any project with 5 or more drills in place at any one time to compare what they were chasing; my bet is that all had a valuable deposit that was in play)

Number of drills on Éléonore Property with Goldcorp focusing on effort to delineate and extend newly acquired feature property.

After purchasing property for several hundred million dollars, in 2007, Goldcorp continued in its effort of delineation and extension of the deposit with up to 6 drill rigs in operation on the project in the winter.
