Updated resource calculation using the latest drill results. Per your suggestion this post moves from 2.5 to 2.8 bulk density in calculations. Posted below are the updated #'s using both 2.5 and 2.8.

So with ARU's guidance on mineralization continuing at least another 200 m to the south, this model easily infers 10m oz Au, and 11 m oz is reasonably in sight :>).
Still intrigued about the possibility that the faulted off western portion of FDN will be found to the south. Very speculative, but offset of magnetic trends suggests to me about 1.1 km of post porphyry offset (west side moves south). The southernmost hole testing this western block is 77 on line 3100. I don't remember seeing any commentary from ARU on this hole, so this might mean that it looks unmineralized. I will speculate that the offset mineralisation, if it even exists, will be found west of the west fault at about lines 2600-2700. A WAG for sure.
If 11,000,000 ozs, using US 75 oz insitu value, 33,000,000 shares diluted = $25/shr. Looks to me like the market is putting a significant exploration premium on ARU at the moment. Based on results to date, I don't think this is unreasonable, but also shows the possibility of a significant pull back should there be some sort of negative news, or any news that is perceived as less than spectacular. |
