W,

I know they have to legally send the cores to the lab in a certain way but they do not have to incur the expense of sending to the lab, obvious 'granite'. They do have to give an explaination of sorts for not sending worthless cores to the lab. I guess they would classify the duds as, 'they did not hit their target' or words to that effect. This is why they have to keep records and have core shacks.

Until the official releases are in print, we must wait but wouldn't it be nice to see a couple different drill locations hit some great goods? It is not out of the question at all because the company has done extensive behind the scenes work before they ever put a drill on a designated spot.

Regards,

Jerry
