Mike,

As per press release:

"The oxide cap is overlain by approximately 15.4 metres of sandy overburden."

Why should we believe any further comments from mineman .... "blasting through rock" ..... unless rock = sand ... LOL.

The cover averages 19 m(62 ft), not 15.4 m.(50 ft) as the news release says, and varies from 9 m(30 ft) to 27 m(90 ft) which would make any deposit very difficult to mine.

In most locations the compacted cemented cover is actually thicker averaging 20.3 m (66 ft) if holes 1 (10 m) and 10 (9 m) are subtracted.

Cover thickness from northwest to southeast along the 500 m (1,600 ft) long zone:

Hole 6 = 21 m (68 ft)
Hole 1 = 10 m (33 ft)
Hole 4 = 26 m (85 ft)
Hole 3 = 19 m (63 ft)
Hole 17 = 22.5 m (72 ft)
Hole 18 = 27 m (90 ft)
Hole 19 = 19 m (64 ft)
Hole 7 = 17 m (55 ft)
Hole 16 = 24 m (80 ft)
Hole 9 = 24 m (80 ft)
Hole 21 = 18 m (60 ft)
Hole 20 = 16.5 m (55 ft)
Hole 10 = 9 m (30 ft)
Hole 13 = 16 m (52 ft)
Hole 11 = 16 m (52 ft)
Hole 12 = 27 m (90 ft)
