Cooky I think you're bang on. Workman's Bench area is the major area of focus where extensive drilling has occurred - an incredibly rich area which once defined in even more detail will reveal more about the ore body. This is of course part of the Soloman Shear area which is proving to be spectacular. We must remember this is only a small part of the 12 sq. mile property.
Let me again define their focus as stated in their release: Workman's Bench is the Company's prime exploration target for a lode gold and antimony deposit in the southwestern part of the Solomon Shear Zone. The Solomon Shear Zone contains NE striking gold-antimony- quartz vein systems which also occur in other areas on the Nolan Creek property, including across Smith Creek on Pringle Bench and north of Smith Creek Dome.
This year's drilling on Workman's Bench has focused on defining the lateral and vertical extent of the known gold and antimony mineralized zones, in particular on the main exposed vein in underground exploration Tunnels C and D. Information thus far indicates the gold and antimony mineralized zones at Workman's Bench are open laterally and at depth. This year's drilling has extended the known lateral extent of the stibnite (antimony)-gold vein systems on Workman's Bench from 600 ft to 1,000 ft.
