is it a gold mine or copper mine..., page-10

The nature of such OICG hydrothermal breccia's is they typically continue to some depth.

The fact we have an intersection at 50m below the surface outcrop (gossan), which is more or less the same width as the zone at surface, bodes well for continuation at depth.

Remember though, this is just one of several target breccias across a wider zone of some 80m or so, in which we have several potentially significant mineralised zones.

This wildcat hole (assumption), seems to have concentrated on the zone below Adit 2.


Could be this one?

Sampling at Adit 2 "...revealed an average of 84m at 0.81% copper in adit 2 within which exists a richer zone of 48.2m at 1.21% copper with a peak of 4m at 4.7% copper in one of the breccia zones." Today's intersection more or less lines up exactly, potentially giving us a clue to likely grades correlating with those from samples CRC178-crc198...



If today's intersection is anything like the results from the Adit 2 sampling programme, then we are probably looking at something like 19m @ 1.25% Cu from today's intersection.

However, being much deeper and possibly below the depletion zone, I would be hoping for slightly higher results.

Interestingly, the Adit programme did not find much gold to speak of at surface...given we have visible gold in the drill core...and from the drill pads...and even from the preliminary ground works from over a year ago (see below), I would not be surprised to learn we get decent hit at some point;



Especially given the roads are grading over 2g/t...lol...and gold is freely panned from concentrates;



Anyway, we do not have the actual hole orientation yet, but at a guess I would assume the following might not be too far off the mark;



The above cad model shows the pre-planned drill traces with the naming convention CATxxx...as can be seen, the "K001" hole, which I assume to be a wildacat, appears to have been targeted directly below the Adit 2 location (shown as dashed grey box).

I assume today's drill trace would be targeted to intersect below here according to the following Adit plan...



So...for me there will be no real surprises here...unless we get over 20m (downhole) @ 1.25% Cu and/or the odd bonanza zone of gold.

Lets hope.

One hole down...23 to go!

Cheers!
