New Discovery Resulting in a 20KM Mineralized Gold Belt
Wow. What a map.
I'm going to spend a few moments and share my thoughts of what I see.
1. It's actually quite comical how this process appears to shed light on the high target areas. Are you kidding me?! If this process works (I'm sure it does) it may be more specific than airborne surveys. It reminds me of a video game I once played called Civilization. You move your piece in that area and a whole block of the map of the world opens up. The red zones are 90th percentile. Not sure what they are the 90th percentile of - all rock, or of potential mineralization targets, or gold targets - but 90th percentile sounds like a good thing.
2. The 2nd phase of the Geochemical process looks obvious - I'd bet that I could draw up a reasonable facsimile right now. The red zone between the words Area and T2 Zones appears to be connected to the same red zone by the words Area D and also might be connected to 2009 trenches that are in the lab right now. Creates a decent picture.
3. The 2009 trench zones appear to be located in the sweet spots. The 2007 and 2008 trenches seem to cover a more broad area that might include some less desirable areas. Any idea where or what those results are?
4. Looks like well over 100 holes have been drilled in this core area over the years. That's a lot.
5. The legend is only 100 metres. So, this area is not terribly large and the area that is being presently worked appears to be approximately 400 metres. I'm not sure how this relates to tonnage but the theory is that the mineralization goes to at least 1000 metres. Tonnage could probably add up fairly quickly. There's a formula somewhere....
6. Looks like Phase 2 will give us twice as much coverage as Phase 1.
This process sure draws a compelling image doesn't it? Looks eerily similar to the airborne surveys I have seen elsewhere. I suppose this surveying is less expensive and possibly more specific.
I give props to Candido for taking this approach. I'm happy to put my money on someone who isn't afraid to try something different - it makes sense to me and if it this whole thing works in the end he might just turn this coal into a diamond on a shoestring budget.
That's what I see anyways. As always I welcome comments, corrections or questions.
