1. They take small samples during the AC drilling at every metre
2. each sample is bagged and tagged.
3. To save costs initially they send every 4th sample for analysis (4m samples).
4. Areas of high interest have all the other 1 m samples sent for analysis to better understand the results / geology.
5. As we've seen when the 1 m samples are analyzed quite often the grades increase, this is because the 4 m samples missed the bigger grades.
6. Think there is a lot of areas of Viper where we still only have 4 m sampling of the AC.
7. Expect grades in those areas to improve significantly as we drill out.
Like I said plenty of cash for another campaign or 2.

Cheers Aptayl.
Must do some reading about 1m vs 4m sampling.
Must also look up analyzing every 4th 1m sample & what is meant by "composite 4m samples"
