Impressive intersection IMO. Not Nova Bollinger grade/thickness for the massive sulphide section but will be interesting to see the assay results.

The probable massive/semi massive sulphides past intersections are consistently 2-2.5% Ni and around 0.5% Cu over some 2.5m on this section.
CZI comments mention pentlandite and chalcopyrite in both massive and disseminated so such grades may be present in the 6.2m intersection in this hole.
The ratio of Ni to Cu in previous holes suggests a 5:1 ratio. I have looked at the enlarged images of core and a gimped one to try and estimate Pn/Cp in them.

There appears to be, in my estimation, a reasonable amount of chalcopyrite (Cp) visible - possibly greater than 1% Cu (highly optimistic at 10% Cp or 3 % Cu - not likely)
Pentlandite (Pn) is often difficult to spot unless in the form of relatively large "eyes". I suspect the lighter silvery patches are pentlandite which are perhaps more obvious in the core tray photo as subtle light coloured "sparkles".

If the prior ratio of Ni/Cu (5:1) in massive sulphides is consistent then the estimate of 1% Cu (or more?) means the Ni value could be very interesting (>3% Ni .)

The geophysics is getting a lot of positive feed back and should start to become more reliably predictive. Conductor C the "weakest" at 5500 Siemen is related to massive sulphide apparently which needs a geophysicist to go into more detail. Perhaps relatively narrow and poorly "coupled". Whatever the dimensions are possibly 240x550m by 2.5-6m thickness.
This sweet spot if of sufficient size and grade could combine well with the potential for bulk UG mining of a larger lower grade disseminated resource.
An overly sanguine view from one hole. Lots of very deep drilling to be done before that view could come to pass. LOM for the WMP as speculated on >>10 years may see it come to pass.
