The primary manner in which a junior mining company adds value to the shares is through success with the drillbit, which explains the focus on drilling in this forum. The issues you mention are important parts of the due diligence that should be done when evaluating a company's prospects. The GE vein system has similar mineralogy to Kodiak's Golden Mile prospect ( quartz, carbonate, minor sulphides) and lies on the same magnetic trend( I have to get out of the mailroom to post images). The initial assay results for the grab and channel samples show gold present with good grades in places. I bought some shares last week not because the price is low( that's not sufficient enough of a reason) but because I think the chance of intersecting some good grades with the current round of drilling is high enough. We don't have many details on the drilling program but they are probably testing to see if the mineralization extends deeper and also extends further along strike( length along surface). The company offsetting Sage to the SE ( Kodiak) has indicated that they will also drill their trend closer to Sage's property. The best outcome occurs if both drill programs are successfull. Good luck with your decison making.
