Performing a sample weighted average of gold and antimony assays, I find the following a bit more encouraging:
- Average gold assay is approximately 0.13 Toz Au/ton, or 3.9 gpt (low by itself).
- Average antimony assay is 7.76% Sb, equivalent to 0.35 Toz/ton gold (10.7 gpt Au).
- Total Au + Sb equivalent is 14.6 grams per ton or 0.47 Toz/ton.
Antimony again saves the day.
15 gpt is nothing to sneeze at. But it pales in comparison to the 103 grams per ton total Au + Sb equivalent in the current Workman's Bench 43-101 resource covering some 46,000 tons.
(In other words, what we have today in this new area is around 15% as rich (15/103) as WB main veins, but you can bet there is a heck of a lot more there, perhaps 100's of times more. My only concern now in the lower antimony concentration which in this case, can bring in arsenic concentration issues...unlike the WB main veins!).
