The assay results reported from the recent drill program on the Golden Extension vein system seem technically unlikely given the results reported previously from the channel sample assays( particularly on Vein 1). I have the following questions:
1) How many of the 17 drill holes intercepted quartz vein ( regardless of gold content)?
2) In general, were the quartz veins intercepted at the depth projected from surface work or was it quite variable? In other words was the vein geometry found to be more complicated than you would expect from the surface expression?
3) Have you evaluated the use of ground EM or IP geophysical surveys to map the sulphides associated with the gold and quartz veining? If so , are these techniques used to map potentially higher gold grades that may be associated with higher sulphide content?
4) The quartz veins show a pinch and swell character on surface along strike. Is the thickness of the quartz veins also quite variable down dip( at depth)?
Thanks in advance for any answers you are able to provide.
