From hole 7, drilled due east, the conclusion was made of a close to true width intersection in the latest press release. This means a moderately west plunging deposit, possibly tube shaped rather than a sheet

Hole 5 would therefore would not be drilled so much down dip or down plunge, but would only have to be reduced by a factor of 2 (divide by 2) to come up with a rough true thickness.

Hole 1 just missed the top of the massive sulphide (lots of good diss mineralization; Hole 2 drilled deeper hit closer to more massive material (narrow massive sulphides not seen in hole 1) confirming a shallow to moderate westerly plunge.

When this type of geometry is drilled further to the east, as they did with hole 3 or 4( forget which) you will get bupkis no matter how deep or shallow you drill, the deposit has come to surface and disappeared.

As they step out to the west, shallow drilling gets you bupkis (hole 3 or 4); deeper drilling hits the big kahuna

Also confirming westerly plunge:hole 6 was set up east of hole 5 and drilled back to the west. All granite as it paralled the plunge of the deposit but was just underneath it. If you drilled the same way as 6 but set up on hole 5 again, hopefully you would stay in "ore" for several hundred metres.

Party on
