Do not make one out to be full of sh t if you do not check out the statement of said person.  Call AMW or Fission and they will,  if honest tell you the drilling is not going well.  In a period of time they have been at it with 2 drills aided by a rotary rig doing the difficult work for them should be done at least 10 holes by now, especially at the shallow depths they are going.    This they have not got done.  Ice drilling requires holes to be done efficiently as ice does not last forever.  Efficient is not happening.  Does not mean they have not got a tremendous find here but it requires succesful holes to back up previous hole reports. I am sure your reply is coming as you comment on everything on this board.
