Thanks for pointing that out. I do not remember reading any of that information on the website--for awhile there Paravicini's earlier report was available. When I have tried this past week it has not been there, but could be user error, and I wont criticize the website again. Hope the webmaster is not somebody's ten year old kid (likely). Anyway, the passage that you refer to is here: Reverse circulation drilling programs into bedrock deposits usually provide representative sample cuttings for assaying. However, deep RC or diamond drilling methods to evaluate placer deposits have not been conventionally used by others for several reasons: (1) The spotty nature of coarse gold in placer deposits require very large samples (multiple cubic meters). (2) Preparation and splitting of large samples containing coarse gold would require special screening and fine grinding, resulting in high costs for each sample. (3) Drilling through gravel containing coarse cobbles adjacent to fine sand, silt and clays would probably not collect representative samples for assaying. (4) Deep drilling (greater than 300 meters) through conglomerate would require extensive casing, and would be costly. *** I only snipped a small piece from the filing, persons reading this should access edgar on their own, I'm not responsible for any mistakes I may have inadvertantly made in copying. sec.gov
