I have many questions about this hole, as I do with most. Hole # 11 seems to be contradicting every aspect of the Quantec and historical data. Here is the drill release for that hole at the bottome of the post, the 1.069 g/t is the grade from the .30m section. I should also note, that while she specified with other holes that it was the highest grade obtained in those holes, she did not with this hole. So whatever that means, one would think that there must be more intercepts but she only gave us that one for now. She did not give us the azimuth of this hole, the same as all,but in this paricular hole, it should have not mattered which way you drilled or what target you were trying to hit. There are 3 nice veins to the west of the collar for that hole, here are some samples taken from these 3 veins; A1 vein 450 m long, 22 cm wide, 3 samples taken ,average grade 29 g/t
A2 vein 260 m long, 22 cm wide, 3 samples taken, average grade 32 g/t
A3 vein 200m long, 15 cm wide, 1 sample taken, average grade 81 g/t
So, if she didn,t target those veins, which are described as individual vein swarms in Brophy tech report 2008, meaning that A1-A3 veins are main veins with other smaller veins coming off them or nearby,maybe she targeted the anomaly? If she did ,then the drill had to pierce T-18,15 or Z-3,which is a tested response and in the mineralized corridor, or a connection of the big anomaly at shallower depth. Its no way she could have missed in that hole,IMO. You have multiple quantec signatures in that area that other miners that have used Quantec all hit their targets and considerable lengths of mineralization. The resitivity is off the charts as well as the chargeability being high in the anomaly at depth around 450m and deeper in this area. Also, by looking at the geophisics for that area, the MT suggests a gradient with considerable width at depth, so even more structure to hit.
Also, here is 47 samples taken of the alteration (not veins) in the Zona Central area that goes like this;
An area of 1000m x 1200m had 47 samples taken which averaged ~.23 g/t across an average width of 3.3m per sample.
Although the A-7 vein lies in this area that had 42 samples taken that averaged .25 g/t, it is unclear if they help comprise the above or not, because they came from an area of 200m x 50 m, in which quick math to 100m deep could give you over 20,000 ounces in this alteration.
So,many unanswered questions and not enough data to make a reasonable investing decision for anybody,IMO.
