We'll have assay results in ~4 weeks, but as I explained previously, a 50m RC drillhole provides roughly the same sample size as one of the bulk samples (going on memory). The size of a sample is important because a larger sample size provides a better measure of the average grade. There's no huge difference between a bulk sample and a drillhole apart from the improved grade continuity you get from a drillhole.

I don't need the drilling to understand the potential which is the advantage I have over somebody who needs drillholes. This will be a bulk mining operation rather than a selective mining operation: the bulk surface sampling grades provide sufficient confidence in the grades you might expect when you mine. (http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/selective mining)

This is the same reason BBX are pushing ahead with plans to mine: the insane grades from the bulk surface sampling provide sufficient confidence in the grades you might expect when you mine.

How about the platinum group metals and copper silver? That $1.8B doesn't include the PGM and silver credits. Why does it matter anyway? You just don't get it, or you are trolling\downramping. There's a fu*kload of precious metals sitting in the ground, at surface waiting to be mined.

I'm quite interested in this stock which doesn't mean that I'll buy it, but it does seem strange that BBX is digging up platinum group metals when they haven't been reported in that zone + copper.

You're the geologist, not me.

Here are the minerals that have been located in the Tapajos Mineral Zone.....I don't see any sign of palladium, silver, osmium, iridium or any of the others.
