Probably. I haven't even gotten out on as much prospecting as I'd like this year.

I would guess the weather dictates who posts right now. Probably a good time to pick your's guys brains with questions. Unless the heat keeps you guys busy underground?

No, I'm waiting for 90 degree weather season, the monsoons and the yellow jacket season to go away.

We’re at 12k feet, got another 4 weeks until the snow starts trying to fall :) - digging fast at this point, and preparing to make sure equipment is covered for the deluge about to come!

I got nothing to report.

Streams are still snowed in, with four new inches on Monday, more snow yesterday, and more falling now. I am pretty sure there is no Prozac to be had in all of New England.

I keep going to streams to check to see if they are opened up and they continue to be snowed in, and day after day of that gets really depressing. On the hard rock side of things, all the exposed outcrops on my farm I have checked, so now I need no snow, and thawed ground to check the remaining areas.

Wait

Snow

Wait

Snow

Rinse and repeat! Jeesh, it is mid-April!

Right now, 3 main pay areas pinpointed. All with outcroppings that have good free milling ore. The logistics of removing the material is a challenge until its bonded. But just rotary hammers, picks, shovels.. have a ton or two of the good stuff ready to go. The low grade dumps are all over the place

What grades are your dumps running at? Out of curiosity.

I will post pics of the millsite build once I get the 8x12” Jaw crusher shipped here

Pretty much consists of-
8x12” jaw crusher
Conveyor feed to 2 tph impact mill
Impact mill feeds onto a vibratory screener
Conveyor feeds from screener to 4x8” roughing table..
Building another screen for dewatering
Screw conveyor for tailings removal
Then there is a 2x4’ finishing table for the cons

8x
