Re the CZZ drill hole you mentioned. "60 metres of $500 rock". When I plot the drill holes it looks to me like they may have drilled down dip as the deposit appears to dip in that direction. I wish they would publish apparent true widths.

In a recent seminar in Quebec City, I had discussions with numerous geologists who have worked or analyzed the «Ungava type» mineralization occurrences.

These high grade, but relatively small «pods» of mineralization seem to occur at the bottom of ultramafic flows or intrusives, in very large cavities in the footwall( or the paleosurface)and having steep slopes.

And to had to the complexity, folding is very apparent in the Mesamax area.

This is a setting quite different from the flat lying «text book» deposits.

So, we cannot say with certainty that Mesamax was drilled «down dip».

But I agree that a modelization of the deposit would be welcome on CZZ web site.
