Off season events include JVs, land sales, other company events, surface work such as soil sampling and trench work. There a quite a number of things they work on and do over the winter. And if the snow is not too bad, which last year it wasn't for most of the season in Newfoundland, they can even test drill. Snow doesn't impact test drilling at all as far as the drill it self goes, but the big problem with it is gaining access to the properties with the equipment, which most are only accessable through old logging roads, which are good in normal weather, but tough to get equipment on when they are covered in snow.

Properties that are ready for drilling can be drilled at any time including the winter months in Canada. Some types of ground geophysics can also be done in the winter time. There is not as much snow in Newfoundland as there is in British Columbia each winter. But it is much colder in Newfoundland on average. In winter time the swamps and muskegs get frozen hard and access is actually easier than in the summer time. And no mosquitoes either. However if they can zero in on a new discovery the drilling will keep right on going. Most mineral deposits of any consequence being blocked out for resource tonnage and grade calculations get at least 100,000 feet of drilling done on them. I thought the play on words by Zwicker about the drill program was just so much B.S. Why did he not come clean and say " We will do a small geophysical survey and some trenching starting around mid May to be followed up immediately with diamond drilling " ? The likely reason was that the new geo probably recommended they do it that way .. like I said they should .. ages ago. And the Stead brothers were not that experienced to realize that. A comedy !!!!
