This is a post I did last Thursday: So, the diamond hole...

This is a post I did last Thursday:

So, the diamond hole drilling has either just started or is imminent - 550ms over about 2 weeks. That's 40ms per day x 14 days. At that rate, they should be hitting new ground by about the end of next week (all going well). Nice visuals with XRF will hopefully come in to play during the course of the drilling. That's what we hope for so (eh!) that we don't have to wait until the last week of November to learn of the results.

Hopefully the DD will penetrate hard rock along the way. In fact it would be very disappointing if it didn't.

Anyway, I'm wondering whether or not the drilling through the weathered zone would progress at a faster rate than 40ms (see my average) per day and then be slower through fresh rock. My layman's guess is that this could happen. If so, then it's possible that after 5 days of drilling (assuming it started last Friday) the hole could be at about or approaching half way ie 275ms.

RC 10 went to 375ms, by far the deepest of the 5 RCs, and the last one too before they 'mysteriously' put an end to the programme.

I feel that RC 10 holds a secret or 2.

Did RC10 in fact hit fresh rock?

Is DDH tracking it?

The report tells us nothing about mineralisation or rocks. It's mainly just clinical stuff. We are left to infer as to what they saw or found.
