"I think we need to get his snow and fog excuses in writing.
We all know that will never happen, but on the phone he can pacify the best of us. I know he has done it to me a few times on the phone and once in person. You can talk and everything said is off the record and open to interpretation. We need solid info to base our investment decisions on, and we deserve it for sticking this out so far"
Hello Hoghead,
Please refer to Radagast's post:
I was under the impression that there would be about 10,000 meters of drilling and we got results of around 3000 meters. ( yes due to later than anticipated start, bad grounds conditions which slowed drilling progress and weather conditions in October)

This should satisfy you as Elmer himself mentions in writing "weather conditions" being an issue for the short drill season. Weather conditions includes fog and snow problems. It is clear that there were many factors that cut the 2013 drill program short as Elmer mentions above the late start to drilling and the ground conditions of Schaft Creek. You and Grant seem to be fixated on only one of the problems surrounding the short drill program when there are a few reasons to acknowledge.
We should not forget that we still drilled around 3,000 metres which added a great amount of value as we drilled the inferred resource and potentially expanded the Pit shell to incorporate the higher grade ore accounting for roughly 40% of the Paramount Zone according to Elmer. To me this is all very positive development even though we did not drill the entire 10,000 metres as planned.
