Yes Jamie I agree with your statement
"This ground has only gotten more valuable with every bit of work that the company has conducted and I don't see that reversing. "

I would have to add most drilling by companies makes the ground more valuable but in this case the returns are considerably greated for the drilling expenditure than other companies, as the grades and shellow depth combined with long intercepts make a future mining operation far more viable than the many marginally economic prospects most companies have.
The possibility of a higher value based metal copper being the main focus acts as a multiplier in making the possible returns exponentially greater as well.
Hopefully the linear downward sp movement is merely a pre curser to upward exponential sp movement once drill results are announced.
