Thanks for all the kind compliments, but I must give the credit to 'TinkerBelle' for the fantastic job she did delineating the various claims and nearby explortion.
Admittedly, I initially did not want to post that Vale dropped all those claims because I felt it would reflect poorly on KATX's chance for success on the Luckies and the remaining Vale claims. That is a natural, initial response, and I noticed that many others also felt it didn't bode well for the remaining Vale claims around the Luckies.
I was thinking along these lines: Suppose Cache Exploration did a drill program right next to RR and got nada, I wouldn't brag about that...ESPECIALLY since it's right next door to RR. It's like bragging about how great your house is because the surrounding neighborhood is terrible.
HOWEVER...here's the difference, because Vale dropped so many claims, yet did NOT drop these, that makes me think that Vale still feels confident in this area near Luckies, and THAT is the reason why Vale kept these claims. So, now I do see the importance of Vale's retention these particular claims surrounding KATX's Lucky properties. Now, I do not know for a fact what's going on with Vale and the Luckies...but I would assume, as they get closer, we should hear news of a drill program or other exploration commencing on the Luckies.
The original map was posted previously, and was a "zoomed in" version with a bull-seye.

I asked 'TinkerBelle' to zoom out for a reason...to show as many kat properties as possible along with other company claims, so investors can see how these properties are related to each other and to surround exploration programs, and to keep an eye on other compnany drill resuts for future DD. In addition, she outlined the current claims held by Vale, so readers can clearly distinguish wich claims they currently hold. This wasn't on the original map. FYI, the original claims Vale staked are the dark green-gray ones
As you can see, she did a great job (scroll all the way down for close-ups),
and here's the original claims on the northern end:
for more perspective:
more perspective in the southern area...
