Wonder what happened to Ellendale, an ex geophysicist & fountain of information who once visited back in July.

Here she responds to a Poet query on modelling conductors and drilling for nickel:

The real conductor won't be a sheet, particularly in komatiite situations where the ore system is actually most like a cigar shape along a channel in the volcanic ultramafic system. but sheets are what the modelling software can handle, so that's what we get. Having said all that, multiple sheets modelled with consistency over a large strike extent will have some geological validity. Now here's where it gets tricky....

Well worth a read.

Wonder how @Ellendale would interpret this current conundrum - more drilling, I guess. Here's hoping the DHEM on 0023 strongly supports that and they get another crack at it.
