Absolutely correct. I spent 3 years working on the Distant Early Warning system (Radar Defense) in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Iceland. I spent several winters up there...it is cold, it is dangerous, and it is DARK.
But, believe it or not, teams were constantly up there setting charges for oil exploration, drilling etc....YEAR ROUND, and it is much colder along the Northern Coastline where I was at than it is around the Bristol Bay area.
We have very good technology these days that project the weather situations. Even though it is winter, a Helicopter is still quite agile at flying. I spent many a day flying in Helicopter to mountain tops....in the depth of winter with negative temps well below zero.
So, depending on what they want to accomplish, they CAN AND WILL accomplish the goals if need be.
I though think todays news and filing was really quite good. It concludes what many have been talking about all along, that NAK/LBSR are indeed continuing on with the JV, and that exploration activities have been taking place during this JV negotiations phase.
ALL GOOD, I think we will have a gradual ascent from now on...and that drill results will be forth-coming soon enough at which time......we will go up exponentially.
S4 out - Much work to do - vacation is OVER. By the way, I intend to do all of my work through the winter as well - smile.
