Hansix,

From the mill at Giant to the center of the Big Sky claims is just over 20 km as the raven flies. Both properties are within the same belt of rock.

I think the MD&A noted these claims as adjoined simply to place them on the map and to give them assumed value. As you know this is done all the time.

With regards to Nicholas Lake mining. It was reviewed for underground mining within the original permitting with Ormsby. Why the change?? I would ask the BOD and maybe the Envirocrats with the various gov agencies. Maybe it is as simple as getting the ball rolling and deal with it once Ormsby is making money? Ormsby is open pit to start but will have to go underground at some point. If the mill is designed for open pit and a lot of feed then a number of sources will be needed once underground. Big mills are hard to feed from underground.

I agree with you about what the market perceives...keeping things simple makes things happen faster. Especially with permitting.
