BOW, we can do some numbers on this later and will take us at looking at the diseminated gold in the host rock not counting the high grade veins. These really are high numbers in the ppb for across widths, being that all samples taken were anomolous in gold, showing consistency across width. Any vein material during this sampling should have been prudently avoided, as not to skew results, so therefore, these should be accurate numbers for the host rock. Considering the high amount of sulphides encountered in the veins, it would be expectant to see the sulphides through out the host rock in varying degrees. There is an interesting statement in the last drill release, although its up for interpretation, it does imply to me that they are saying they are aware of the country rock potential as adding to the resource. I have bolded the referrence to this in the excerpt below.

" Most of the north, east and south sectors have never been geologically mapped, prospected in detail, trenched, or drilled. Further, large areas (up to 20-30 square km) of the prospective granitic rocks in the north-central and southeastern areas of the property are covered by late-Tertiary ash flows and crystal tuffs. These young, flat-lying volcanic units are several metres to tens of metres thick and completely obscure the prospective rocks of the Coast plutonic complex. Zones where strike extensions of known gold-bearing structures are extrapolated to pass under the volcanic cover are targets for geophysical exploration and drilling."

A quick look at where some of the drill holes were in relation to these areas suggest that a testing at depth is/was being carried out for maybe introduction into a resource estimate that I expect to come within the next few months or early fall. Holes 32 and 35, not reported on yet, looks as though they would be testing the extention of the altered zone accompanying the C-5 vein which is known to be at least 40 m wide. There is suspicion by me that this zone could be much wider because it is buried under the ash to the west and south. There is also suspicion by the company in earlier reports that the C-5 and A-4 veins were connected or possibly the same vein, and a quick look at the drill results and where they drilled in that area would seem to lend support to that theory.

Hole 18, not reported on yet, if drilled in a westerly direction, an important piece of info missing from all drilling releases, it would encounter another alteration zone, that if connected to a southern zone of ~45m wide, should also have some very long intercepts of low grade bulk tonnage, but economical. This drill hole could join the alteration zone of the A-7 and the southern zone at Zona Sur, if this is the case, then you have a considerable strike length of what could be economical grades, without the high grade veins involved. I should mention here, that it hasn,t been very long ago that companies realized that economical gold could be extracted from these otherwise considered waste rocks. There are cases today where tailings piles of old mines are now being processed for their gold at a good profit.

Holes 25,27 and 29 would appear they are testing the alteration around C-8 as well as the veins and micro veinlets that are becoming more apparent in this area. A quick look at the first drill release will give you a count of ~ 11 veins when we only knew of 8. It appears that the alteration was most likely tested in these holes with a nice grade above the .5 g/t, speaking of viability, if consistent. See, we already have data on three high grade veins that have set an average grade for those veins of ~25 g/t from underground bulk sampling, what we need to know at this point, is the alteration zone feasability.

While doing a little more digging, there appears to be a sample taken from a dyke in the southern part of the property during the last tech report which assayed somewhere around ~23 g/t. This is important, whereas these dykes criss cross the property in places adding another gold bearing mechanism on top of the veins and country rock in places. Evidence of this kind of mineralization may be seen in one of the pictures I put on here before of the A-4 vein with what looked like a dyke contacting the A-4 vein. I would not be suprised if it was mostly the dyke that was responsible for the 4 ton bulk sample from the A-4 vein averaging 11 ozs/t (360 g/t) gold that was reported on years ago. I say this because with some dykes, gold can be clean and be nuggety and require little processing other than crushing and screening, a little more to it, but you get the picture.

So again, as you can see, the drill results are not doing justice for the property, at face value. When the gaps of these partial news releases are filled in, it should become a Eureka moment for the skeptics and the potential should be more easily seen.

This next segment taken from the link below it;

For this reason, veins within hydrothermal gold deposits are no longer the exclusive target of mining, and in some cases gold mineralization is restricted entirely to the altered wall rocks within which entirely barren quartz veins are hosted.
