checked and no problem, these companies can be tricky to read too. Its a lot easier than it was 10 years ago though, the new regulations and how the 43-101 instrument was added makes things so much clearer for the layman wanting into this field.

The area I worked on in the 2000s is known as the lucky queen. it ran in the 1920s as an underground silver lead zinc mine than shut down due to difficult mining conditions. I remember reading one note from a bunch of old journal entrys at the Elsa records building that said the miners kept having to order new railway because the track would shatter under load in the cold of winter. We did a lot of surface and underground chip sampling for the owners and attempted two drill holes but the gear we had was antiquated and we couldn't work after November, it was too cold. The region its self hosts over a dozen major and probably 20 small scale family run mines from the turn of the century, all of which have been continuously explored since the 1970s with veering degrees of success. The ore in many of these deposits is discontinuous, IE it is faulted and fragmented from its original state in deposition, and has also in many cases undergone secondary mineralization and major alterations. This can make tracing the mineralization hard with conventional tech, but modern drilling and magnetometry has generated great results in the district. I love the area in the summer, but no amount of money could get me to work there in the winter again.
