That sounds intriguing ... how can you drill wrong ... you just fire up the machine and pull the lever and it makes a hole, right, how hard can this be ... what, do the metals spin out of the core when you drill with [or against] the coreolis effect ... is this one of those left hand/right hand things? ... should the heterodextrous avoid drilling near the equator? ... what? ha ha ha ha ha!.. how hard can this be? it's not like cutting trees, either they fall on you or they don't, either you get them to the landing or you don't, either they can be bucked or the frozen dirt defeats your saw.. either they sell into the corrupto BC market or they rot on the cold cold ground.. Well ............. if they drilled on the bias, along the striking of the mineral body... have to watch them unions et al.. and they drill against the grain, downish dippish, the mineral body appears wider, much wider than it truly am. It could have filigree veining softly and shallowly dipping towards the drill string.. and when you drill it just keeps coming at you.. still 255 metres is some vein to stay in all that way.. and ALL that gold in veinlets in the core.. "Be still my beeting harte." That is what they tried to say about a moly property of "mine" they drilled recently that the veins all dipped towards the drill and really were only 1 metre wide... where it shows 4 metres on the surface,, howeever I have seen rolls on the surface and down deep it is one foot wide.. but but but.. The way to get around this is to drill "cross-swords" from two directiones.. and then, and then, you see it from both sides.. it cannot hide, can it? If you see the core generally you know it is "down dip" as they down dipsters will anglulate sinstrally along the core like a sleazy bre-X snake making elongate ellipsoids of the core and veins will run the length in a most smarmy and unseeming fashion. Much like the core did at the Thorneloe Property that Band Ore drilled in West Timmins, where they drilled both along strike and down dip and it seemed the widths were generous. 350 drill holes later they could not kill the smell of that core which was unwisely displayed at the PDA. For my money it seems that it 6 of one half dozen of the other that anything that wide could be down dip.. even if it were, the vein is still of some value.. And those veinlets of gold.. no doubt they carry most of the values in perhaps 5 or so meters and the rest of the value is "stretched over the wider width... but that they are there is most intriguing.. and another thing that intrigues is the lower grade holes.. the 1 to 2.5 grams thingies predominate.. despite the widely advertised big carriers.. of infinite width and grade.. If it were solely 1 to 3 grams and 100 feet wide and one mile long.. it would be a barn burner. 3 million ounces. double that wide 6 million. 30 bucks a share easy. have to look at its maps and drilling etc.. its geometry.. continuity.. too much to ask? the question of its association with felsic mantos.. that it may be a pipe, not of any extent.. but very valuable. let's say 600 feet in diameter.. cut off by the lower grade emanating like slits in eyes... 300 sqrd by pi X 1500 = 400,000,000/12 = 36,000,000 tons X 5 grams = 176,625,000/31.103 = 5,678,712.66 oz's. Not bad for one pipe. Add in the "low grade" and maybe you have a biggie stock. But is all spectaculation. Geofantasoid crystallographic congelation of the process of astral projection. A most granitic kind of cloud. You don't want to hit one of those mountains on the bias in a 747. The sheer mass of spectaculation that would be sucked into the engines could be blown out in a hetero-coriolic brown massif that could spell nuculare winter in the gold camp for months to come. Still there are lies, damn lies, damn lies that you believe anyway, poltics, women and mining. In that disorder. Let the buffaloe chips fall where they may. And may Albania win the world cup. EC<:-}
