Re CDU press release "Silver values in soils of 5.0 and 11.9 grams per tonne over a background of less than five g/t coincide with previous sampling in deeper pits that returned values of several hundred grams silver per tonne" This region is silver rich and erosion/water has carried silver everywhere (and often concentrates it in the soil). This causes a very high background to be present everywhere. This mean you can sample anywhere in the region and you would get some silver which would not be indicative of a nearby source of silver. If you have significantly above background readings, you hope to be near the source of the silver i.e. an ore deposit. Now all you need to do is drill where you have high readings (more or less). Lots of factors get into this and it doesnt always work but in this case, looks like the odds are good. LIA
