Yes, Ozblue that drill result was unexpected. However, as pointed out by others on this site, some drill results are high in copper, others are high in lead, and others are high in cobalt, and so on. It looks like there are lobes of ore bodies along the fault with different metals. For example, the previous drill result (5th June) at 4.6km west of the Vardy/Marley found:
"Assays for hole WFPD273 show a wide mineralised intersection of 33m @ 4.05% Pb, 0.96% Zn, 0.06% Co and 43gt Ag, including 22m @ 5.70% Pb, 1.20% Zn, 0.08% Co and 57gt Ag from 247m."
So my feeling is, they have focused on getting the Vardy/Marley resource infilled and defined. That will be the flagship mining operation. All the other drilling results along the fault are expanding the resource and helping to make the case for the final decision to fund the mining operation at Vardy/Marley (which is near surface and suitable for an open pit mine). There are quite a few drill results to come soon enough, so hold onto your hat. Good luck amegos.
