I've been wanting to write this note for quite some time actually.

If anyone has studied the geochem results fairly closely you will notice that the colours have changed fairly significantly from the first batch to the second batch. For example, in the latest Gecochem the Timmins deposit had a lot less red showing <90 than the first one.

I asked Sasha who asked Tilsley and spoke to Hoov about it at the PDAC.

In laymens terms, the reason for the difference of these colours is that with all of the newly acquired information, the colours had to change to demonstrate the level of variation in the soil samples. Admittedly, I'm still not fully undertsanding exactly why or to what level this occured as the reasoning appears to remind me of something out of a math or science course I took probably over 15 years ago.

Perhaps Hoov could shed some light on this as he had a more fundamental understanding of why.

What I do know, is that this appears to be a VERY good thing. The reason that is the case is because although the deposits in Timmins are very substantial and even improved with the bulk sampling project, the latest Geochem indicates that Timmins may be just a small part of a much bigger picture.
