Is it possible to get important information from the non-mineralized zones of hole 49 so that BHEM probe would not be surrounded by high mineralization (and as a result be able to get decent reference values) so that they could "see" the mineralization beneath Eagle 1? Moreover, does this method have the capability to view mineralization above and below the probe? If so- I would think that dropping the probe to somewhere between the second and third layers of mineralization should provide a pretty good description of the shape of the zones of mineralization that at least could be used to corroborate data from other holes (eg an empty hole 50 if indeed that was case as Cos suggests). Could this be the source of the width but not volume data shown for layers 2 and 3 of mineralization intersected by hole 49 in the presentation diagram?
