"Executive Summary"! It's a BIG page.
This is a tabulation of 2,251 assay results. Simple averages were applied throughout and all averages are based on all the representative assays for that particular section. Some holes never reached 100', therefore there are not 121 x 20 = 2,420 assays.
Cross Section (Top to Bottom) at every 5' Depth Au. 1/4 Ave 1/2Ave 5 .046 10 .042 15 .038 20 .044 25 .042 .0424 30 .043 35 .045 40 .044 45 .047 50 .040 .0441 .0433 55 .044 60 .048 65 .044 70 .044 75 .045 .0449 80 .041 85 .049 90 .041 95 .042 100 .041 .0427 .0439 Overall .044 Appears to indicate slightly heavier minerilazion between 25' - 75'. Overall variations = 5%.
Looking at the grid south to north from bird's eye view (line #1 is the 11 holes at the bottom of grid). Line Au 1/2 ave. 11 .041 10 .038 9 .042 8 .041 7 .044 .0411 6 .046 5 .048 4 .039 3 .040 2 .042 1 .058 .0457 This appears to indicate an average of 10% more mineralization in the southern half of the grid. You think their shacks might be sitting on the motherload?
Again, soarring like and eagle, going east to west (right to left, Line #1 is east) 1 .044 1/2 ave. 2 .045 3 .048 4 .040 5 .043 .0439 6 .041 7 .045 8 .048 9 .043 10 .043 11 .039 .0433 Pretty consistent across the grid.
8 holes average less than .029, 8 holes average greater than .06, 105 holes average .029 .. .060. The high ones are all over the grid. Hole 148 = .017, hole 147 = .068 (next one over)!
The Pt results are very similar to the Au assays and range from .024 to .204. Hole #183 = .027, hole #181 = .204 (2 holes away)! If anything, this tells me that this 1 sq. km is in the middle of something bigger with reason not to believe it extends sideways and downward. The downward is very interesting as each 100' doubles the ante. The length of my lot! Bedrock is what, about 350'?
Now we're going to the big mill. 50lb bags passed the test. I forget his name but someone at Diamond fields quoted his friend the chemist saying that there is no reason why the big mill can't be controlled like the bench tests.
My question is, what's the holdup here. BD's sign off? Is IPM shooting their mouth off too much or too little? Cnd regulators?
If the big mill works, then who cares about assays, right? The end justifies the means. Any comments CL? Enjoy - Denis |
