You have three minutes. THE PUBLIC: Yeah, Bernard Fiscus on the other side. The question I have for you is that the bore holes were ten-feet, in your opinion is that deep enough to do a proper analysis? THE WITNESS: Just to be clear, the borings were much deeper than ten-feet. That was just the rock core portion of it. So they went down through the soil that sits on top, weathered rock and materials that settle there over time and then they, once they hit competent rock, not competent rock, rock able to collect core data through these diamond teeth core barrels, that's when they took the samples. You know, there was, especially one boring, where they got a very poor RQD at the bottom, I forget what boring it was, but it was on Section C, cross section C. They still had only gotten a RQD of 23 and I would have, you know, requested of my client to go another five-feet to see if it gets better. THE PUBLIC: So you're opinion is that the holes weren't drilled deep enough where you think they should have gone deeper?
