How are they supposed to know where to drill without doing the prep work?

I believe in channel samples and drill cuttings before I believe in core. But we know about a few surface samples that "failed to go down". Me too. I am redrilling one that failed for go down as rich as on surface. There are explanations.. one is it does not go down. That is the wife effect. Some mines are your girlfriends. Deep as you please. Other instances could be due the nugget effect. You can channel every six feet. No way you can drill that close. Nuggets slip by in drilling. The core cut is small to, often, compared to a channel. Channels are often taken by accident or design where it looks rich. Assay methods may vary from company and era. Still where many channels carefully taken show results, I am excited. But cautious. I rarely rate oxidation as the main reason surface sample kick high, but in laterites I say be careful. But just as many laterites and copper shows are surfaced leached as enriched. Channels are like RNG warrants. They can be good, but watch out. EC<:-}
