NI 43-101 Update (September 2012): 11.1 Mt @ 1.68% Ni, 0.87% Cu, 0.89 gpt Pt and 3.09 gpt Pd and 0.18 gpt Au (Proven & Probable Reserves) / 8.9 Mt @ 1.10% Ni, 1.14% Cu, 1.16 gpt Pt and 3.49 gpt Pd and 0.30 gpt Au (Inferred Resource)
I heard some rumblings about where I went today ;)
I was busy performing triangulation on
the James Bay area based on the results
we have seen so far. Thanks to S2000 for
his assistance with the triangle calculations
today and JOHNDEFER for posting his price estimates.
Highlights:
- We recognized a definite North to South
mineralization trend whereby the % values
increase as the depth increases.
- The extent of the depth on the southern
edge is unknown. The Eastern edge looks
to be 50 metres from hole 2 for a true width of 50 m.
- More data is needed for the Western side of
holes 1, 2 and 5 to determine true widths.
- More data is needed for the depth of the
Southern incline to determine true lengths.
- Depth of mineralization is consistent at 120M
from surface at the North to 177M at the depth
of hole 2 (at which point it hits the Western boundary).
Here are some pictures with the numbers. We have
included known drilling angles, core lengths, and
calculated lengths using Euclidian geometry
(aka Pythagorean theorem).
Please note that we did not use the actual full
length of the drill cores, but only those that
reflected significant mineralization. With the
angles in holes 1 and 2, the "ends" of the cores
with no value did not have an impact as these
were at the boundary of what appears to be
an Eastern wall (as you will see below).
First, the layout of the land:
Now for Hole 1 and 2 Calculations:
Finally, some calculations:
Please remember that these are initial values that we
