I think that the bulk sampling at Ascot Zone will tell the story there...not the drill. The drill will be used to define the area, not determine grade.
Ascot = open pit, lower grade, high tonnage
Timmis = ramp/shaft, higher grade, high tonnage
My opinion only. Ascot needs to be bulk sampled before it can be determined whether it's economic or not.
That's great news that is comes up to surface. I'm assuming they've had a bullldozer up there for a couple of months clearing the overburden all over the place, which would be obviously VERY revealing. I think we'll be doing grab and bullk samples in addition to our drilling.
Also assuming that they've had to wait until the geochem samples were sent (and probably came back) to lab before they did this. Lot's going on, that's for sure.
Great post, G.
Almost there....
