I can't recall Tas calling such high copper values. I did find an early post of his, which I've pasted below.
I was quite surprised when I rang the company last week. They basically said that all the good bits of visible mineralisation are in the photo's. There's still other visible mineralisation elsewhere in the cores, but the pictures were the stand outs.
I got the impression that they were saying that the cores are probably not as good as the market is expecting. Although that might just be my interpretation of what they were saying.
They didn't sound very hopeful about urainuim.
They also sounded disappointed by the fourth hole.
I was also surprised to hear that they regarded the third hole the best & not the second.

Consensus amongst the geos in the office is that the small section of core with the bornite is between 4-5% copper, whilst the beautiful solid lump of chalcopyrite is cse to 15%+.
Note,they would obviously photographed the best bits of core and would certainly not necessarily be representative of the entire intercept-whatever that is!
Encouraging-you betcha. Probably worth two to three trading halts compared to what others have stopped trading for!
Abuman, wish you had alerted me to this one a day earlier!LOL
Cheers,TAS
