Ya, whatever he said. Larry, you are priceless!

To add to that - yes Herb they included diorite, overburden and whatever else was in that trench so the 3g/t is for the whole enchilada.

If you look at the geochem map you can guesstimate where the highest grades would have been in this trench. There are obvious patterns that appear when looking at the geochem map. On this trench in particular there was a substantial amount of rock that looked like it would have little gold according to the geochem.

I remember this well. When I first started doing my DD on GNH I was blown away by how much gold it appeared they could have just in the Timmins area - this was well beofre any murmurings of stretches of more than 5km.

I was also frustrated that they used such a large trench and went so far on either side of where the geochem told them to go. The Rico trench (was it 1987?) took a much smaller bulk sample focused on what looks like a better area for mineralization and it came in around 7g/t.

So...I get the whole concept of being conservative and it's good business practice. However it's also good practice to know exactly what we are dealing with here and I believe our grades have been understated relentlessly. GNH is the opposite of most gold company's that try to promote their best intercept. I get it, but sometimes I feel like that guy in the Canada Post commercial trying to tell everyone the ship is going to blow up in the Halifax harbour. Nobody listens to the guy, it sounds so unbelievably crazy. I think the grades could be much better here than we even realize. Heck, even JT says he thinks they are closer to 4, which means probably 6.

Obviously don't buy stock on what I say, but there is information available that indicates to me that the grade is much, much higher.

And I say this also knowing that if the drill results that come out soon are very weak, we are still looking great in reality. ANY gold indicates that we have the same stuff in the ground. This will sound ridiculous but even if we get sub .5g/t results I will be ecstatic. This is because it indictaes the geochem works, and if it works than this thing looks so big, it's seriously not funny.
