2 very good posts es1 & spanky. Thanks for your valued input.

Upstream of big bend is better than downstream considering what we know the big bend area captured in the way of big gold from the stream flows. Stream dynamics being what they are, more pockets and bends should be found upstream and hopefully Gary will expose some of those expected benches above stream level as well. Thinking it will mid summer to drive the new tunnel and develop the 'new' diggings into production.
