Hey BOW,
We shouldn,t underestimate the potential of the C-3 vein. If this vein widens at depth, (which is characteristic of veins in the area), the tonnage potential will increase. This vein is slightly higher in altitude than the C-1, if veins get wider at depth, it should be reasonable to expect, that at the same altitude as the C-1, the C-3 may become more comparable in width. The C-1 has been seen down to 100m or so, the C-3 hasnt, unless it was intersected in the C-1 workings via a perpendicular addit, which I doubt. So, that leaves us with only surface sampling from thwe C-1 vein. Here is an excerpt from Brophy,s 2008 report.
12-3-2: SURFACE EXPLORATION, C3 VEIN
The C3 Vein, which is parallel to and about 68 meters north of the C1 Vein, probably has the best tonnage-grade potential of any other vein in Zona Canchete excepting the C1 Vein. Insufficient data are available to compare it to the C5 Vein. The C3 Vein is an east-west-trending vein that has been traced for a strike length of 115 meters. It is open to the west and may be cut to the east by the C2 structure. Table 3, below, summarizes sample information from 23 samples collected from the C3 Vein during the reporting period. The average grade of the C3 Vein is 36.54 g/t gold (1.07 opt gold), which is comparable to the average grade of the C1 Vein. However, the average width is only 7.5 cm, but, as has been explained previously, this is probably an understated figure.
