okay, well maybe i'm just stupid but i've asked this question a few times and i'm still not clear on the answer.

why cant we drill core an area thats going to be bulk sampled at surface, go down one meter (or whatever the depth of the bulk sample will be), see what the drill core shows, then see what the bulk sample shows for the same one meter cubed???

- drill core shows X, bulk sample shows X for the same area....if the drill core shows much less than the bulk sample this would go a long way toward proving a "nugget affect" imo....even if we did it 100 times, how much can drilling 1 meter down cost?
