Another key factor to point out re: SGX channel sample results is that these results were from just a 12m portion of the vein SGX managed to HAND TRENCHED over the summer before the bridge was in place and heavy equipment was doing the work. These were great results without this constraint but with this constraint these were absolutely fantastic results IMO.

SGX did not have 500m, 600m, or more of strike length to choose from when they cut this first round of just 26 samples... BUT now they do... based on previous stripping and trenching rate, SGX likely close to 1km of vein strike length sometime this week (based on my calculations). Maybe even more. I would expect even better channel sample results in next set of results for the simple fact that they will be selectively taken from much larger portion of vein. Again, not that I think there was anything bad with the first set of samples... to find such high grade at surface over just a 12m portion of vein that managed to be hand-trenched is truly amazing IMO.

P.S. longbomb: great visual to illustrate vein vs. wall rock samples.
