Keep Track of What an Exploration Company Does on a Regular Basis
Notes: Some people have asked that we explain "Corporate Business." While we can not give details, "corporate business" is everything from answering mail and e-mail to preparing reports, attending meetings, and fundraising. "Assessments for the Province of Quebec" are reports required by the Province of Quebec on the work done on the claims. "Sampling" means taking samples which will undergo physical analysys at a later time. Driving to the site is usually a minimum of four hours - much of it over washboard roads actively used by logging trucks. Web site work involves work with images, code and consults on site development.
