Ann: BLM approves Plan of Operatios at Hog Ranch, page-6

Hooray.
I think when they have final approvals ex- the public comment period they should get on and do all the low(er) cost geophys they can to firm up drill targets. Specifically, gravity because I think they have enough from hyperspectral & 3D IP but it's their call. Or if they need to, some soils for geochem at least an orientation survey or two. The sample prep. & chemical analysis (actually probably AAS- Atomic Absorption Spectrometry) can be done in the off-season.

Otherwise they will come back to us and say the field season ran out and it's too hot.

I don't think they will drill because it costs real money but they may drop a few scout holes.

All IMVHO.
