Hi SWW. I disagree, grab samples can be completly unbias. Grab samples do not migrate to the gold.It all depends on who is collecting the grab samples. I have collected many grab samples and they were completely unbias. If you set up a grid and/or sampling plan and it was designed to be unbias, and you stick with it, then there is no problem. Very true! However, grab samples by there very nature are used to explore the likelihood of existing mineralization! Therefore, the tendency is too look in areas of "likely mineralization"! As I have stated before, no-one, not even a dumb geologist, walks over to "dirt" grabs a bundle and ships it off for assay!! Assaying costs money, grabs are normaly reserved for scoping out a property to determine the viability of exploring/drilling a property...rarely is it used to justify its existence as a viable property! If you set up a grid and/or sampling plan and it was designed to be unbias, and you stick with it, then there is no problem. I think thats what we are addressing here! TT has now stated that additional sampling will be required and that the deposit maybe overstated. Does that sound like a grid program that has passed the "auditors" test? All the people on this thread have been extremely patient with my "concerns" with the inferred and indicated. They have also understood but not necessarily agreed with my concerns on the lack of drilling. In many instances the response, and rightfully so, was that "Guido's extensive knowledge in the geological field should be unquestioned"!! Well it appears the auditors now question his sampling technique! the Chief
