When JT talked about the HF model, he said something along the lines of extreme pressure pushing forward/upward with a point as sharp as a single molecule of water. Well, this is probably what was necessary to break thru the diorite which is a very competent rock. Any fissures or weakness in the diorite would of been filled by liquid of extreme pressure and heat. This liquid would of been somewhat consistent in nature as per the research paper and that is why the bulk sampling is so important. This should give us a grade estimate for the whole liquid. Of course there is variation here, especially with the nugget effect but the bigger the sample, the better the grade estimator will be.

I also like this part from the research paper:

variation of the ore texture from disseminated via

stringer–disseminated and reticulate to brecciated and

cockade in the intermediate zone and massive and

drusy in the following zones.

This would suggest that we may find massive zones at depth. Theoretically, this is very exciting stuff I have to admit. JT pointed out a rock that had a very pointed quartz band in it and he used this as a suggestion of proof of the HF model. So it looks like we have more than just theory supporting this story. The fact that Ronald H McMillan supported the hydraulic fracturing model in our 43-101 report, means we now have 2 very respected geologists that support the HF genesis of our deposit.
