Thinking of driving through mine area and was wondering if the area has a serious "wet" and would be impassible for months and months. Rang local station owner to sus out weather criterea. He confirms that they were housing the mining team for the irg drill. Out of curiousity, asked if there had been any sort of positive feel amongst the miners. The reply was that he doubted if they would find much. It was very nuggety country, and many many groups had been through there; and nothing had evolved. Made me question my punt. Then I remember I was in Kalgoolie just 15 mths ago where I read all the stories of nuggets being visible all over the ground; exposed and polished by the blowing sands and standing out like dogs balls. Then I visited the Super Pit and saw first hand what can lie below a scattering of nuggets. The landowner thinks they will find somewhere between zip and diddly squat and the rest of us are hanging on for the story of all storys. Well, wish the best to all of us. jwt ps good to hear that normally, the wet doesn't tie up things for months and months.
