Factually, drilling of the Tesoro began on or before August 17 according to the NR of that date. Since then, both from the website and the corporate update of October 19, we can factually say that drilling was on going. Anything else is hear-say.

When anecdotal information finds its way onto this board, it often causes a stir. Folks, please accept anecdotal information with a grain of salt. In conversations, what is said and what is heard can differ. For the most part I doubt there is malicious intent by posters conveying information that they have heard. So there is not much point in calling into question their integrity.

When weighing what is documented vs. what has been said second hand, please always rely on the documented version.

With great confidence and reference to company documentation I can say that drilling has been in progress for more than two months. Anything else is hear-say and should be treated as such. Each of us can take what we want from the rumour mill but it certainly is not worth getting into a sand throwing match over it. Leave that for SH.
