wouldnt be surprised if Vale were drilling this or have drilled, since their so close (maybe seeing how far the mineralization runs) and Im sure it wouldnt even have to be disclosed if they were or did...after all I seen some poster say earlier rock and soil sampling were still a year away...go figure...maybe this is the big news under the belt and we'll see why the company has been buying shares on the cheap (if it is the company buying)...cause if they announce a JV with VALE this will go up very fast :) JMO Ive been loading for weeks now and Im very ready and content with my position here
