Ann: Drilling Update, page-28

Why? How many times do management have to spell it out before it finally sinks in? I would have thought that the recent quarterly report was explicit enough for anyone -
"Chip-holes . . . assist with the definition of general geology and lithology . . .
They provide critical information and allow a better calibration of the recently acquired 2D seismic . . .
These holes . . . provide the Company with valuable stratigraphic and geological information that allows it to fine tune the core-hole drilling and guide future exploration programs.
The chip-holes have been placed in geologically strategic locations and not all the stratigraphic chip-holes are anticipated to encounter thick coal seams."
