Thanx for the reply, Steve.
Impressive, but I think if you fly any gradient-technique over small targets
enough times you'll get beaucoup "flowers" and other fauna/flora-signatures.
Time will tell if Falcon makes any "economic" kimb or lamproite discoveries,
e.g., geophysical technical successes don't cut it anymore (if they ever did)
in the mining exploration game.
Make economic discoveries with the new airborne technique and nobody will
mind buying flowers from a +800-kg Aussie-gorilla.
Oh yeah, my condolences concerning this summer's Darnley Bay, NWT drilling
campaign; i.e., I think you owe me BEERS, heh-heh.
Best Regards, T.
