Our proposed drilling program of a minimum of 35 shallow (200-500 ft) diamond core drill holes for 2009 has already commenced and is aimed at lode gold and antimony exploration. Lode drilling will focus on Pringle Bench, Workman’s Bench and the Hillside along the Solomon’s Shear trend, and is designed to provide a better three dimensional understanding of the mineralized sections of the structure and how it is related to the placer gold deposits of the Nolan Creek area. Since the Project is advancing into the development stage, exploration drilling will not be conducted in the Fortress area which is part of a gold bearing....................................... "has already commenced" I would take this as it has started !
