The Company’s in-house metallurgical team validated the ore quality from samples taken from the face of the Oro Fino vein structure crossing the SINKER tunnel. The Company’s management believes that the earlier geological assessment of 3.75 oz/ton to more than 325 oz/ton (rare “Hot Zones” along the vein), are correct.
If this information is correct, can someone explain what this potentially could mean? The samples were taken from the face of the vein ...so does that really mean anything since they haven't taken core samples? Or COULD it mean that the Oro Fino vein is at least 3.75 oz/ton rich the whole length of vein? What is the most reasonanle interpretation? Is this enough to at least peak the interest of the majors? Or will this be seen as fluff until actual core samples are taken?
For those far more experienced that me on the technicalities of mining, what is the potential real significance of the 3.75 oz/ton claim?
