"Current drilling has traced portions of the Eagle's Nest deposit more than 100 metres along strike and indicates widths up to 50 metres"

Above website states;

Step-out drilling
Holes drilled to intersect a mineralization horizon or structure along strike or down dip.

My problem is that they talk about "along strike" and we are not talking about the down dip.

Combine this with the following;

Strike

The line of intersection of the tilted surface of a mineral deposit or vein with the horizontal plane. It is the trend of the horizontal line on the structure and is measured as an angle from north. For example, an east strike is a 900 strike and a south strike is an 1800 strike.

As i am dutch and not familiar with all the terms and definitions it is hard to decipher everything.
