This information has appeared before, but to answer your question, it's repeated below. This first appears several weeks ago.


Your question, along with others, was submitted to a spokesman for Explor Resources, Michael D'Amico, whose reply appears below:




It is not possible to give a standard time from the commencement of drilling to the news releases. There are too many factors that will influence the timing of results, including, but not limited to:

- The number of drills working on the property

- The length of the drill holes

- Any potential problems in drilling (breakdown, collapsed holes, drill holes veering off the intended location, etc.)

- The number of individuals working on the core to log, split, analyze, etc

- The backup at the analysis lab

- The consistency of the results throughout the core (as you are aware, sometimes samples must be re-assayed in order to ensure consistent and accurate results)

- The availability of the geological resources to focus on the drill results

- The analysis and interpretation of the assay results for dissemination to the public

- The drafting, review and approval of the press release (approval by technical resources, board of directors, etc.)

- The dissemination of the press release

- Etc.



Any one of these and other factors can result in delays between the start of the program and the publication of the results. The best guidance I can provide is that the current 20,000 m drill program is expected to require several months to complete. The company is working diligently to provide accurate information on a timely basis and they follow proper procedures and practices in order to ensure the information is disseminated in an accurate and timely manner.

Michael D'Amico
