becoming a producer, page-9

cheers pp,

said it before and once again,

appreciate the time and effort you put into your research and subsequent posts (even if not always completely agreed with)

the reason you and most missed it is because it was effectively hidden away in the resource table - say this because if you look at all previous anns that mention the antas sth jorc, the hgz jorc was always mentioned prominently in the actual body of the ann - however due to the significant drop in cu grade and the small drop in overall contained cu, the co has chosen to only show it in the resource table

avb are no doubt disappointed that after two drilling programs (subsequent to the maiden hgz jorc resource) the hgz resource is as it is now - note still agree entirely with you re the dso starter pits, as the hgz is still there awaiting mining, it's just not as sensational a cu grade as it was previously (and which co wants to prominently mention that)

the post, 'honey i shrunk the hgz' a month or so ago was about the new hgz jorc resource

overall it would appear that avb has drilled out antas sth proper (not incl the 'deeps')

as to 'fresh', you will find that reasonably regularly in resource estimate tables

quite often it will be set out as oxide, transitional, then fresh in the tables, which should give you the answer

what is oxide ore (how is it subjected to oxidation and what happens during oxidation)

what does transition mean

consequently what does fresh mean in this context

cheers

btw pp, will be posting a longish post on avb later and would be interested in your perspective (note at first read it will appear negative, whereas it asks questions re the direction of avb and would be interested in your thoughts)
