news out serra verde, page-32

Avanco have struck success with four out of ten holes. A 40% hit rate.

The successful holes all run on the same N-S line 645200E. (which is what they did at Rio Verde too to pick up the suspected E-W trend line)

Appears like they drilled as follows ;

02 Hit , south to 03 (hit), south to 04 (miss) ... then go back to 02 and go north to 05 hit, south a bit to 06 (hit), north to 07 (miss), 08 miss, 09 miss

Result : 3400 continuous to 3475.

Taking those distances (I presume) in metres then definite strike length is 75m.

That strike is also indicated as being open at dept at ASVD-05.

OK the deposit N-S width is 75m but how far does it extend E-W. That is the BIG question.

So the next hole they drilled ASVD-10 is off to the N-W of the strike line, for some reason. Perhaps following some structural feature.

So the copper is there, and more patterns of tightly spaced drill holes on N-S lines are warranted. As per Antas South.

How much primary ore is there???

and how on earth did they know where to drill in the first place??????

TP commented that the first result 02 at SV really was totally unexpected.

You can say that again!
