98-9 was an 45 degree hole so the true width = 2 m, not 3 m. The grade at 6% is encouraging, but would be needed at 100 meter mining depth.

99-4 was vertical so the true width = 2.3 meters.

So the average width of this zone may be about 2.5 metres, which appears to be not wide enough for large tonnage to be developed sufficient to support an underground 100 metre-deep operation.

The average grade at 8% would compensate for underground room-and-pillar dilution.

But over-riding this is that the 2.3 m zone is not thick enough to have the potential for viable tonnage.

Of course this synopsis could change if future drilling intersects thicker areas of the same zone.
