Are the results posted good?

I am posting this in the off topic NOT forum because this forum is very active and I would like someones opinion on the results drilled on a property in NL back in 1999. There is an ongoing claims dispute since 2000 which is soon to be resolved. What do you think of these results? Are they good, great or spectacular?

Discovery holes drilled by Phelps Dodge in 1999 and 2000 produced some of the highest grade base and precious metal intersections ever achieved in the area outside the Buchans mine. The Buchans mine produced 16.2 million tonnes averaging 14.50 per cent Zn, 7.56 per cent Pb, 1.33 per cent Cu, 126 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag and 1.37 g/t Au over its 56-year mine life.

By comparison, the discovery holes drilled at Mary March by Phelps ran 10.33% Zn, 118.1g/t Ag, 1.62% Pb, 4.1 g/t Au, 0.66% Cu over 9.23 m; 16.8% Zn, 660 g/t Ag, 12.2 g/t Au, 5.44% Pb, 0.18% Cu over 0.91m; and 3.02% Zn, 1.08% Pb, 72.4 g/t Ag, 0.13% Cu, over 20.6m.

TIA
