Something odd about results for 99-04.

The "footwall" has always been gneiss but read about hole 99-04. The high grade nickel is not on the bottom as in Hole 99-01 just 25 meters away. In today's hole 99-4, after the high grade ends at 128.35, there is low grade section of 0.31cu and 0.92ni to 143 meters, then we hit a granite dyke and re-enter the gneiss again.

Typically, dykes tend to be vertical as shown for example in their hole 98-10. I'm wondering if the presence of the granite dyke might have depleted nickel from rock close to it. And don't forget, the drill probably ran at an angle almost parallel and down the dyke.

In otherwords, 99-04 may not be representative of typical conditions at the bottom contact with gneiss. The high grade started at the right depth but petered out as it approached the granite dyke. It would explain the completely different results at bottom of hole from 99-01. I'm presenting this as Brumell's Theory of Inconsistency. That has a classy ring to it.
