Welcome To The Inspiration Mining HUB On AGORACOM

The company is exploring for nickel deposits on its Langmuir property near Timmins, Ontario; for nickel-gold-copper on its Cleaver and Douglas properties; and for molybdenum and rare earth elements at recently acquired Desrosiers property.

I take it your question is based on the findings for the latest hole KCC11-6 in the table?

The table pasted below and from the NR starts as an intercept at 50M and ends at 245M. The breakdown is in 5 intercepts/segments/sections or whatever you want to call them. There is a note KCC11-6 shows a mineralization gap between 102 and 120 m due to a felsic dyke and other smaller gaps related to mafic dykes.

When I tally up their 5 sections, I get 169M. They are also quoting weighted average when they report the % concentration. I will try and find out what is the norm or standard number of decimal places when reporting, but as it is dealing in percentages, I would assume two decimal places.

Id From To Length (m) Ni Weight Av %
KCC11-6 50 103 53 0.24
120 171 50 0.26
174 192 17 0.32
including 189 190 1 1.00
197 245 48 0.24
† all intersection lengths should be considered as apparent width

Here is a cool app for figuring out length weighted average on up to 10 holes

You may need to download the following: This tool needs the Adobe SVG Viewer plugin!

This tool is based on Adobe's SVG (scalable vector graphics) technology. To use this tool you need the SVG Viewer plug-in from Adobe.

If you have that plug in this link should work for you:

. Here is how they actually reported the headline in their NR

"Inspiration Drills 167M of 0.26% Ni Including 1M of 1% Ni Providing Definition to a Fourth Mineralized Zone at Langmuir"
*What is apparent is a possible mistake in their own math, where the second intersect is as follows:
-from 120 to 171M is shown as 50 M in length, not 51M as calculated
-from 174M to 192M they also show the length to be 17M as calculated, but only after you remove it's integral 1M section of 1.0%?
-So if this a mistake in the math for the section length, I have adjusted the app to show the extra meter I calculate and now show 170M at .258% from the App.
The math on the section lengths seems off and as for decimal places??....ultimately what is industry practice? Do they take away the 1M of 1.0% and would it be 169M of .26% and 1M of 1.0%, if I wrote the headline? Why am I 3M over the length they report and you are 1M over?
Do we need an expert in core assays :) Who else wants to take a shot at it :)
As for rounding it up to .30%, that's a silly question isn't it?
Cheers
PS as for "checks", I like that Micon double checked assays between labs when they did the 43-101. Many pulps were retested.
Here's also a nice resource link
I like that there is more news to follow in this area
"we are extremely encouraged by the definition provided by KCC11-6 and with 6 assays pending"
