Absolute garbage:
"2. The first core results will tell the story either way: yes we have the goods or blah were finished."
The veins in WEM are huge, extending up to a mile or more, and extend at least as deep as the Sinker (2500 feet deep). Are you seriously saying that the initial results of a few cores can be used to determine how much gold and silver is in the entire mountain? Certainly, if the assays are good, then they will provide good evidence to support all of the historical and geological evidence (to which there is no contrary evidence) that the veins of WEM are consistently high grade throughout the system, but if the initial cores from one small section of one vein are "blah", do you really think that would invalidate all of the historical and geological evidence for the rest of the system? Pull your head out of your rear end and think a bit before you post next time.
And BTW, do you really think that the intial results will be "blah"? The veins in the Sinker are visible, for pete's sake. Do you really think RS didn't look around and take some samples before he decided where they should drill? SFMI is not drilling blindly, this is not moose pasture, and SFMI will not be "finished".
