I'm not backing off criticism of an idiotic statement (If the initial core results are blah, we're finished). And you really think that historical data can't be used? Historical data cannot be used to calculate reserves in a 43-101, but they can be mentioned and referenced. And do you really think that major mining companies look at that historical data and don't know what it means, or dismiss it because it was developed before the 43-101 standard was established? Wasn't it historical data that led SFMI to the area in the first place? Or do you really think that they ignored it all and just happened to "rediscover" WEM all on their own? Garbage such as "historical evidence doesn't count" belongs over on iscum.
