Some simplistic observations of results reported so far from Oposura.

This is a rough compilation of what has been reported. The brown dashed line encompasses holes drilled AND reported by AZS. Holes coloured light blue were reported in this Sept 2017 Ann.

Since the majority of holes reported so far have 2+m intersections of >=8% Zn+Pb combined I have chosen to highlight holes which have lesser thickness and or grade.

Only Hole 21 seems to have not intersected mineralisation.

The NW-SE faulting may be very important. The "NE block" is currently IMO the best section drilled to date both in density, thickness and grade.

Depending on the average thickness and SG in the "NE block" back of the envelope tonnage calculations could range from 200-800,000 tons at ???10+-% combined Zn+Pb.

With a ?conservative estimates of 5m average thickness and SG of 3 there is some 200 Kt potential. If these are conservative then tonnage could increase.

Some of this could be open pittable

There are still a lot of holes to come to show what the distribution of mineralization will be both here and in the west block. GLTAH

Yes that's the method which will be used along with room & pillar. Each suited to close to surface mining.
