"I know that a lot of us have been talking about numbers as high as 3 g/t but as far as I could tell, it was all just conjecture up to this point. He seems to be stating this as fact as if that's what the actual results are."

I think, you´ve probably missed something, because it´s FACT, that the bulk sampling of the T1 zone returned 3 gpt:

NR March 1, 2010

The simple average of values for samples from within the mineralized portion of the T1 zone exposed at surface is approximately 3g Au/metric tonne (2.998) using a 0.5g/t cut-off. The mineralized area exposed at surface has a strike length of about 100 metres and a maximum width of approximately 48m.
