As can be seen from the SFR numbers, the initial copper, solver and gold oxide hits were at a shallow depth - 40ms to 72ms. The AUR numbers for RC5 were deeper - 175ms or so.

However, AUR hit decent oxide numbers at a shallow depth with its Dec 2016 aircore drilling. This is an extract from the 16 jan 17 ann. I had highlighted the gold for a previous 'gold' post, but look at all numbers, including the depths - 8ms upwards. AC 24 is not far south of RC5, about 60ms.



Some of the may 2009 RC holes, including RC 105 (see above) hit sulphides at about 93ms, so the sulphides were shallow too. What a wonderful discovery report that was!

AUR keeps hitting excellent oxide numbers in this hot area, and finding all of the right vms vectors too, so imo it's just a matter of time before the sulphides/primary are hit. Maybe RCs 2 and 3 with the bornite are very close:

As the ann said for these XRF readings: Copper mineralisation from these drill holes was in the form of bornite, hosted within quartz carbonate veining, interpreted to be on the margins of the VMS system.
