Exactly! You could do 10,000 samples & there be a nugget or 2 just 6 inches away to the left or right of them all so, effectively voiding the samples of any reliable grade & impossible to determine a resource. See the problem? This is the problem with grading that NVO have admitted to & yet, here we go again! Yes, if it gives some picture as to mineralisation @ a particular location but still a degree of hit n miss! You still have to mine the thing!
Trial mining is the best (perhaps only?) way to do it & you need a plant first! Been over a year folks & bugger all so far...
