The SRK report has been read - unless you're a geologist or a mining Industry Intimate, the detail is incomprehensible.

That being said, the general gist, summaries, and recommendations are in plain english. I think you are Glossing over Briscoe and Guilbert's understanding of these types of deposits, the volume of data Briscoe has collected, his knowledge of the area, and a Host of other factors.

I see nothing amiss with an extensive and detailed plan that is intended to be confirmed in its validity in near-real time from the first hole and throughout.

Paradigms and best practices evolve and shift. Briscoe has demonstrated a willingness and ability to think out of the box and be an "early adopter" of new ideas and techniques.
