Thanks, HKipp.  I've always appreciated your well reasoned and thoughtful posts. 

"And even the $ 1 million 10 hole plan is cutting back from the $2 million originally hoped for before drilling was to begin."

I could be wrong, but my sense was that earlier efforts at the privare offering were sufficient to have reduced the need (at the time of that news) to "just" another million.  That being the case, nothing has been abbreviated from earlier plans in terms of the scope of work.
