Hog, Vilcoro is indeed farthur along than I thought. I glossed over your NR summary and the last paragraph in your message caught my eye:

In order to efficiently outline the entire trend and provide detailed targets for an upcoming exploration-drilling program, roughly 20 kilometers of geophysics have just been completed.The program included Induced Polarization, Resistivity and Magnetometer surveys.

20 km of geophysics is pretty good considering the Phase 1 Quantec Tesoro survey was 21.6km.

Do we know who SLI used for the Vilcoro surveys? Was it Quantec or someone else? Were the results from those surveys ever produced? If not, maybe it was because at the time money was any issue, which is not an issue anymore. These kinds of things are exciting; as has often been said, you never know what's going on behind the scenes - we've talked about the possibility that maybe an announcement about drilling the Vilcoro may pop up some day, but it could also be something like releasing the survey results....(that is, if they've never been issued yet).

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the SLI boardroom.....
