Have we drilled 120-175 holes since 8/5/04?

coach says that Emmerson told him:
"I then asked him how many holes have we drilled THIS year and he said 40-50 holes year to date. We tried to get locations and he was vague in his response, he did mention they where looking in another area, that they cant say yet. He said the holes were 2-4" and as deep as 1200 ft but some hit kimberlite at 400'."
IF we have drilled as many as 40-50 holes since the first of this year, it could mean that we may have drilled as many as 120-175 holes since August, couldn't it?
CMKX issued a PR August 5, 2004 stating that we were "converging" on the Fort a la Corne area. If we have drilled 40-50 holes since the first of 2005, we have to be "converging" with more than one drill rig since it would be impossible for one rig to drill that many holes in less than 2 months time. Supposedly, when things are running smoothly, we can drill about 1 hole per week with our rig. That should have put the CMKX rig at around 7 holes so far this year. How can it be possible that our one rig has drilled 40-50 holes so far this year? It isn't possible, IMO. If it's true that we've drilled 40-50 holes so far this year, there has to be multiple rigs poking holes for us.
It also was reported in the link above that we hit kimberlite as shallow as 400 feet on one of the locations. Even if our rig wasn't drilling until it ran out of kimberlite and was only drilling to say 500 feet in depth, it still couldn't poke that many holes and move to that many different locations in less than 2 months. Besides that, why would we only drill until we hit kimberlite? If the Oreo is approximately 40+ square miles, aren't we going to be looking to locate a pipe on every hole that we drill and not just kimberlite? If we were to stop drilling as soon as we hit kimberlite, that mean we'll have to move back to those locations to finish drilling them. I believe that we either need to drill until we run out of kimberlite or until we've drilled to a depth that we're still in kimberlite and evidently are drilling in a pipe. Isn't that what the other mining companies have done in exploring their anomolies?
I am not saying that we have, in fact, drilled 120-175 holes since 8/5/04, but based upon the representation that we've drilled 40-50 since January 1, 05, it is an EXCITING possibility if this much drilling has been going on since we "converged" on Sask.
I HAVE NO FACTS TO BACK THIS UP AND AM SIMPLY THINKING OUT LOUD FWIW.

Hello All,
First off let me explain that my entent was just to ask the questions and report back, to the best of my ability, the question and thier responses. I too have a hard time believing that many holes year to date. But I did not want to interject but just relay good info. Everything in my posts is how I asked the question and the persons reactions or reply.
Its up to each of us to believe thier responses. I dont want to taint thier responses with my two cents. I hope this helps clarify my possition.
Agian always do the due.
Coach
