Hi Blackcat,
The day of reckoning fast approaches for ARV with the coming stream of Bulk Sample assays/results. Just respectfully hope you are wrong on Purdy's being just a rich localised patch of conglomerates at the main Nova dig. All I know from spending several weeks there is that there were areas many hundreds of metres away from the 30x10 metre exploratory pit, which produced patches of rich nuggets in the soil. Several areas with multiple nuggets detected and more importantly swarms of previous detecting digs/scrapes all over the localised hills and gullies with personally sighted nuggets up to 12gram size. Did these all come from the one small mineralised event as you say, or did they in fact erode out of a more extensive conglomerate system. One team of night time diggers we spoke to said they had dug out several hundred ounces over several months at one locality we were detecting far removed from the Nova 30x10 metre dig.
I ask you respectfully have you been out there to see the ground and the multitude of detector holes & patches over a wide area of many square kms for yourself before the Nova boys recent activity ? Or is your synopsis simply taken from reporting by Novo and Artemis to date?
If you have been out to Purdy's before the dig and walked the terrain seeing for yourself the thousands of detecting holes I would like your valued assessment as to where the proven widespread losse gold in the surface soils has originated from? One thing is for sure this is a virgin greenfields discovery and almost all targets/signals are gold with no widespread metalalic rubbish to worry about like all the old patches except for in the recent Purdy pits due to the dozing there are however many small blade shavings, that's all.
Finally only have a small holding in ARV so not much to gain here by ramping, just saying what my limited take is from boots on the ground thats all.
There are many more diggers out there with much more extensive results from their earlier Purdy's dig in 2016 and early 2017 who could tell a much more substantial story if they will.
Whatever with the coming releases of more substantive bulk sampling over a wider area we should all soon know.
Cheers
mamba
