Ok, we have funding for the 43-101. So what? We started the 43-101 a couple of years ago. All of the preliminary work is done.

Now, the only way they are going to get the necessary data to finish it is to drill, drill, drill. Both in and on the mountain in order to provide a detailed map of the potential and prove the reserves.

That will take months - starting next summer on the mountain and in the mountain yet this winter if they ever finish the rock bolting, safe room, drill room(s), etc. (They possibly don't need all that to do "exploratory drilling" - not sure.)

So I'm not a bit surprised that there is very little enthusiasm when they announce "funding for the 43-101". Nothing is going to happen until drilling and proving takes place. Yes, it's a step in the right direction, but certainly not that big a deal as far as we are concerned.

If I'm wrong, somebody please enlighten me...

Thanks,

Don
