Goldbarron, u raise alot of good points that many here on this board get caught up in and that is the unceartain. A 43-101 does allow mining Companies to Tax there way into finding and proving up through infill drilling a minable resource but the fact is there is no SEC ex at the top confiring the numbers that the Geologist puts out . In Sans case Dale has the Scientific expertise to fill in the numbers which ACE or any other authority can guide their way into writting this new 43-101 but the main thing here is the numbers speak for them-selves which means good luck if you belive in the geologist inputing the numbers. Canada, New Brunswhich according to the recent Fraser Institute is the # 1 mining jurisdiction in the World for permiting and Gov assistance which Manitoba held last yr. San,like you said has been a well thought out process which leaves one to wonder would Bay ST, take San Private or allow their funds to offer their clients yrs of more of the same.. PS " rather then send you to the off-topic forum, in NB a little unknowen called PUMA ( pum ) sitting 5 K from Xstrata Smelter is a hot tip.. without prejudice. Traps7
