Impact and there's a small
chance of larger damage
but overall just go
have fun on the woods boys it's not
my money you're throwing away or is
it like this is one step closer to
someone maybe trying to
you know tweak into a marginal
argument that this could be
a legitimate mine even if
you would say it's NOT.
I mean is that that danger exists
simply because they're doing this or
is this not
a harmless activity but I'm well
it's just it is something it is.
I guess I'm wondering how big of
that slippery slope is even the
exploratory drilling and acquiring
that knowledge towards that mine is
it like the slopes a long
way out there it's safe before it
gets slippery or are we
any drilling gets us one step
closer to that slippery?
Yeah, that's a hard one to answer.
I mean, you know, geologists and
especially economic geologists love
to get this information.
They love to learn.
And just from the science alone,
you know there is
geologists are learning that much
more about, you
know, the nature of,
you, know how
the Wisconsin landmass was formed.
It's fascinating.
You know, I get a kick out of
reading it and learning more about
it.
Is it a slippery slope?
Potentially because that knowledge
can be used, you know, as
an application towards other
drilling depending on the geology.
So You know, it's hard to
know it's a long-term game
You know, this won't be the last
mining company, I'm sure, to
attempt to find more
deposits here.
We've been lucky
from one standpoint that
it's been difficult for
the mining companies to locate
these deposits, just because the
glacial overburden is deep
enough in most places that it
doesn't make at
least initial exploration
activity very easy.
And that's usually aeromagnetic
surveys where they're
flying planes over vast
swaths of acreage looking for
magnetic responses that
they can record and then
track them down on land to
try to figure out whether or not
there might be something there
that's worth actually
sinking a borehole into.
So that has impeded
development of potential
mining here.
But that still doesn't mean that
there are more deposits out there.
It's entirely possible that this
is it. This is all that
ever will be found.
