At present, and as a result of this work program, the Company has since May 2009 almost doubled the amount of its exploration information in the Solomon Shear Zone. Geologist Karl Sharp says: "With the weather and working conditions along the Arctic Circle being what they are, we have achieved great progress in our drilling program this year. We look forward to beginning our assay result reporting as those results are received by the Company. We are continuing to drill until the snow and freezing temperatures force us to cease drilling."

Comment by Fastfoot: There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to doubt that drilling has been going on since May - Silverado is not lying! The only thing we don`t know was the actual date it started in May - was it early May, mid May or late May. There is no question that it was May - period!!! Why would anyone question this - I simply don`t understand.
