People shouldn’t jump to conclusions based on the headline result IMO. The low grade of the resource estimate belies the likelihood that this still remains a valuable and rich deposit.1m at 70.90 g/t Au from 13m ;1m at 54.60 g/t Au from 13m ;2m at 63.00 g/t Au from 10m ;1m at 46.60 g/t Au from 9m ;1m at 173.00 g/t Au from 8m ;1m at 103.00 g/t Au from 9m and1m at 26.80 g/t Au from 4m .

lucky this will not determine the overall BFS - a real problem if it did - cannot be cured without considerable further drilling - just shows there are times when the volume variance effect of the larger RC holes is negated by the loss of the clayey material where the gold resides, though that can also happen in core - i guess they triple tubed it. Still it is concern that the RC drilling with all the modern face sampling hammers, etc etc could not stop the gold loss - i would not be too happy - RC used for grade control in many a mine - so some wasted $$ here a bit.
