Message: Diamond Hole assay data

Can someone help decipher factors of diamond hole drill results.

For example here is one typical set of numbers reported on 6/18:

DDH

Section

From (m)

To (m)

Width (m)

Au (g/t)

BL13-394

1800m SE

378

388.7

10.7

4.7

Presumably the results are based upon a vertical perspective.

Apparently BL13-394 was drilled to some depth below the 388.7m

level and encountered Au from 378m to 388.7m resulting in 10.7m

width (isn't this actually depth or thickness). However, there is no

reporting of the horizontal measurement. Surely the horizontal

measurement has to be greater than the width of the bore.

My conclusion is that the reported assay doesn't provide much

measureable Au in the 10.7m thickness. Isn't it possible that the

horizontal could run anywhere from a few cm to many meters?

It seems to me that the NI43-101, Metallurgical Assessment and

the PEA must have this horizontal data to render a reliable report.

Anyone have any light they can shed on this matter?
