ARU Hole 70 is shown on line 900N with the qualifier "open" no longer shown to the N on the latest ARU website drill hole location maps. This might mean the FDN zone is closed off to the N by hole 70. As mentioned before, there is a suggestion of WNW striking faults cutting the FDN zone to the N based on visual clues from the topography: -There may be repeated high grade zones with a shoot-like nature where other WNW striking faults cross the NS fault zone. For example I think there may be another high-grade shoot developing to the north, centered on an area just north of hole 65. I think the funny loop in the river with the white spot in the middle, to the NW of hole 62, marks where the river hits the WNW structure. Message 22602158 Based on Sillitoe's recently published reports, I think that the case for another high-grade shoot developed to the north is strengthened, as evidenced by Sillitoe's geological section shown for 700N. The assays from holes on lines 700 and 800 N will tell us if this real or not. Especially interesting is the deep Au bearing stockwork zone shown by Sillitoe on 700 N, in the bottom's of holes 65 and 67. I was looking back through some notes and sketches, and noted one in particular, where the interpreted pull-apart basin outline is sketched onto ARU's prospect/concession map. According to their interp, the northern boundary of this basin, which hosts the FDN deposit, should bound/cut off the northern end of the FDN zone, and this boundary has a WNW strike. See 6/21/06 slide presentation at Aurelian website for this basin outline: aurelian.ca (see "additional slides" section near end of presentation). This major basin bounding fault may cut between holes 69 and 70. If this is the main, northern bounding fault for the pull-apart basin then possible WNW trending structures to the S of this one may represent transitional faults that have contributed to localisation of strong Au mineralisation. Basically, this interpretation puts the FDN zone in the NE 'corner' of this NNE-SSW trending rectangular-shaped basin. If the northern boundary of FDN is defined by hole 70, then the currently inferred, known strike-length of the FDN zone is about 750m. ARU's basin outline interp suggests the possibility that the B/LP deposit structure and the FDN structure are not one in the same. This is also suggested by the map traces of the 2 zones, with the B/LP zone trending NNW and the FDN stiking N-S. ARU's basin interp says that B/LP lies to the east of the basin, and that FDN lies in the basin, along the E basin edge. Another possibly important bit from the 7/26/06 ARU PR: On line 9583700N, where hole CP-06-65 (Az. 93° dip 60°) intersected intense epithermal veining and brecciation with occurrences of visible gold (PR July 6, 2006), two additional holes have now been completed. Hole CP-06-67 (Az. 86° dip 60°) was drilled approximately 50m west of hole 65, and also intersected a broad zone of epithermal mineralization, including a zone of intense epithermal stockwork and brecciation in silicified volcanics. Detailed logging of this hole is in progress. Hole CP-06-68 (Az. 83° dip 70°) was drilled from the same drill platform as hole 67, and was designed to test the mineralization down-dip to the west. The hole encountered zones of intense silicification within the conglomerate unit before intersecting weak to moderate epithermal mineralization in what is interpreted as the western downdropped fault block (west of the main mineralized block). Detailed logging of this hole has not yet begun. This strongly suggests that ARU has already encountered signicant gold mineralisation to the west of the West fault in hole 68. If this is so, it is great news. Rock previously described as "weak to moderate epithermal mineralization" in hole 61 contained an interval grading 2.1 g/t Au over 41 m of drill length. In summary: -likely high-grade shoot developed at FDN on lines 700 and 800N (cut off to the north by hole 70?). -BLP and FDN, different structures? -FDN extension zone discoverd to the west of western FDN bounding fault in hole 68? All just speculation based only on data from the ARU website.
