The longitudinal section across TG-1 shows copper grades (0 to 4%) and thicknesses (0 to 40 m or 0 to 130 ft) are very erratic in both the supergene zone at 40 metres (130 ft) depth and also in the sulphide layer at 250 m (800 ft) depth. Zinc (3%) and silver (1 oz) are low so the deposit hinges on the copper grades and thicknesses. The company says copper averages 2% but a closer look shows very erratic values. So with copper at $.65/pound the copper sulphides could not be mined economically and the company are therefore attempting to make the thin .16 oz/t gold oxide-layer underneath the town appear economic. The latest drill results will not change these basic facts!
