While on the topic of historic drilling... I looked at the historic holes around DH 419 (NR pending) and DH 421 (pending).
419 has too many historic holes nearby and too much info to transcribe in detail. The historic hole grades are not great (fairly average for the main deposit). The depths are still shallow (100 to 400+ m deep, average ~275m+/-). Similar to HAS16, copper % is higher and the other metals are very low or non-existant. I had thought that 419 might be the 'dud' we were talking about a week or so ago. I am thinking that it might not be a dud.
Here is the deep hole near the drill extention of DH 419. This example is definitely one of the better holes but is also one of the deepest. Resuls around this area seem quite variable (to this amateur!). Silver gets interesting near the bottom of the hole.

The historic holes near 421 are much more shallow (average around 100-120m depth) and are mostly lower in grade than the historic holes around 419. This might be our dud in the south...
Armchair geology at its best LOL
