Dev, there would be much more credible information from those geologists who have mining experience than I but let me give you my humble opinion. The DD results which came from DDA1 seem very close to hole 90. The DD results indicate a higher value because not as much of the material is lost by the DD method as the RC method. Indication seems to be that hole 90 therefore is actually richer than originally determined by the assay results for hole 90. When we see the other DD results we will get a better idea if the same is true for the other RC holes. Here is ARPs web site. Click on the Map and Slides button and have a look at the one called "Amable drill hole locations" argentinagold.com It seems likely that the high grade material which is discovered is not merely a super vein but a core section of the whole which contains very high grade gold values. Wouldn't I like to have a small 2 inch section of the stuff right smack in the middle of that richest gold. Make a real nice paper weight yes! If your speaking to Lundin, tell him I should get one for my trouble would you! ;) I will cut it in two and send you half. Ray

This is a section of the latest Quarterly report of ARP posted by Wendy Cusack earlier #reply-7598756 This indicates the point about DD giving better values that RC methods. >>A sector of the Amable target, defined by Holes 80, 85 and 90, was recently tested by the first diamond (core) hole drilled on the property. The results showed a substantial increase in gold grades. Given the nature of the free gold observed in chip cuttings, the diamond core results reflect a higher gold grade. This is apparently due to the better conservation of all finer materials, especially those oxide-rich crusts that rim the open fractures in the hydrothermal breccias of Amable. The intensity of the silicification produces a highly brittle rock that is strongly crushed by the reverse circulation drilling (using tricone bits) and the intensity of the air pressure pushes the finer particles into the open spaces within the hole.<< Ray
