Looks to me like Pretium drill hole SU498 is 62 meters closer to Tueton Res.
and still hitting high grade gold.
Did Pretium show the results of all there other drilling results?
Stocks aren't exactly jumping over these results (need higher than 30oz.gold per tonne ,over 6.2 feet
I guess )

within the sericitic alteration zone of a telescoped porphyry deposit, with the high-grade gold mineralization at the Valley of the Kings hosted in deformed quartz, -pretium

by a contact between intensely quartz-sericite-pyrite altered coarse fragmental volcanics and highly sheared clastic sediments-teuton

epithermal in the pretium statement sort of means volcanic…

are we looking at the "potential" for a coppercentric analog to hhmmm how should i word it.... structures like the vok

is this potential analog related to the bridge zone prophyry or is there another porphyry in the vicinity

can't wait for the drill results to confirm or deny some of the hypothesis...

addendum from technical report

High-grade gold and silver mineralization within the VOK Zone occurs as electrum, and it is generally hosted within quartz-carbonate and quartz-adularia veins and vein stockworks. While quartz veining and stockworks are common throughout the zone, the majority of gold intersections are confined to a 75 m to 100 m wide zone which closely parallels the axis of the syncline. Within that zone, the mineralization appears to have been concentrated in localized fold noses and along geologic contacts, in particular along the contact between the overlying pyroclastic rocks and the underlying conglomerate, as well as locally along the margins of flow-banded rhyolite. Significant intervals of gold mineralization, including several occurrences of visible gold, have been intersected to the west of the VOK Zone, at the Waterloo Zone, suggesting the possibility that the mineralized trend may extend farther west, across the Brucejack Fault.

Silver-gold-base metal epithermal veins occurring within or adjacent to fine grained syenodiorite intrusions and associated with large areas of intense sericite, quartz, pyrite alteration; these structurally controlled veins may or may not have significant sulphide contents.PRETIUM

The newly exposed rock is bisected by a contact between intensely quartz-sericite-pyrite altered coarse fragmental volcanics and highly sheared clastic sediments. Strong fracture coating with moderate pyrite occurs locally. In the southeast corner of the island pervasive malachite (copper oxide) stain was noted. The first drill hole will be directed southeastward to test the extent of this copper-bearing mineralization.---TEUTON
