With regards to second question:
"With the second part of their response......
"SJ07-07 is the hole with the gold mineralization and the Oct 4 PR stated gold was “present” in SJ07-09 but if you look at the assay tables from Jacobus that gold mineralization was not reached due to a fault and target not being reached."-sgx
How have they interpreted the gold bearing zone is present in Hole 9 (from re-examining core sections as per Oct.04/07 NR), if the gold minerization was never reached?"
Re-read Oct 4th release. From Oct. 4th release:
"Sage has re-examined core sections from previous drilling and has interpreted that the gold-bearing zone is also present in hole 9. "
Key words being "the gold-bearing zone"... not "gold".
In other words, with hole SJ07-09 they reached a zone that indicated gold would be present (i.e. similar zone/mineralization as SJ07-07 where gold was found) but did not reach the actual gold (as they did with SJ07-07) because of the fault and, therefore, not reaching the intended target.
Could explain 'black mineralization/core coming out of the hole for 2 days' (i.e. gold-bearing zone?) as reported here by other posters who contacted driller. (?)
JMHO.
