Could it be that having Jay out in the field looking at the Geology with an hand held XLR is eating up more time to pinpoint more and better origional "first drill hole points". I have known JB to be more correct in a matter than fast to be convinced at his own conclusions. In this case "Jay" could of found even greater points, "out there". That would explain the pause to go out an jump on a drill bit.
Many a plummer wishes that he could redo his digging after busting a gas line or set of electric cables right in his freshly dug hole. Drill site are very critical to the proving and probable stages in discovery. If the XLR is telling JB that the NEW finds by Jay are much better points then any drilling would in good prudence be delayed and sorted out for a decision to relocate from a good site to a better site for the drill coreing discovery process of the yet unknown mineralization.
