I'm not interested in a pi$$ing match either, Longball. I did not intend to spin the article by only reprinting a portion, if that's how it looked. The portion I reprinted just applied specifically to what I was saying. You'll notice throughout the whole article, howevery, that they speak about a "mineral deposit," for example "the variability of the deposit" and the "evaluation of a mineral deposit."
I merely point out that bulk sampling is done as a final analysis on a mineral deposit, but if you have not defined a mineral deposit, what will bulk sampling accomplish? We already know they can mine the veins. What we don't know is how much gold they actually have. So resource estimate-wise, the mineral deposit is undefined.
The original intent of this thread appeared to imply that if SLI continued bulk sampling, it would lead to mine feasiblity and I'm just calling BS on that.
