Lots of rubble and dirt in chips, possibly some minor contamination from upper levels for RC, not as pristine or cool to a geologist as Diamond.
If supergene is exists, hopefully broad increase copper complexes concentration by 2 or 3- typical from broader background. Apart from supergene there is likely concentration increase due to flow dynamics near core if truly porphyry. I do note Graeme is happy to not equivicate on porphyry.
So we are talking about a shift of 0.3+% -> 0.6+%. That is 6 parts per 1000. People need to be realistic.
If a broad increase x2 or x3, this is very hard to identify visually, I would say impossible, but I am not a geo. The lab is the only way of knowing for sure. Onsite XRF has been used by other companies. AQD does have previous samples from diamond, so they could attempt to calibrate, but I wouldnt be relying on that with the first use of RC for this style deposit, especially where this is hoped to be a low % elephant similar to other Peru deposits not so far away.
Graeme said while waiting for previous round of drilling that he couldnt tell what the % were visually or if close to first hole results.
We have to wait... if we hear anything from company based on visuals it will be a super surprise to myself. And I will retire on the increase in share price, a low $ chance.... I dont wnat to retire yet
