In times of high demand, like 2011 and the first half of 2012, good drill crews were difficult to recruit and to retain at cost effective prices, because many drilling company owners and/or senior managers were prepared to pay unreasonable wages and bonuses. In slower times, like the second half of 2012, good drill crews are available at a more reasonable price; however, unless drilling companies have developed quality relationships with well financed mining and exploration companies and/or mining and exploration companies that are not prepared to compromise their ore reserve or deposit development programs, thereby creating potential balance sheet problems, they will begin to offer their services at less than healthy prices. There is no easy formula to manage a drilling company, but good old fashioned business practices, like quality customer relations, high respect for employees and quality human relations, superb safety procedures and practises, careful attention to the protection of the environment and community relations. These practices, plus effective cost controls and management of equipment and drilling practices, and services invoiced to the customer at a fair price and in an honest manner, will enhance a drilling company's ability to grow profitably at all times.

Management continues its attention on comprehensive cost and spending controls, as well as risk management procedures throughout the Company. Senior management is focused on careful cash management, realignment of debt, high customer relations and high employee relations.
