Thanks Fridayme, I'll look forward to your satellite analysis opinion.

Probably try to overlay a geological layer onto the sat image and try to find where the Silurian age rocks are hanging out. As you say a 5m wide gossan zone which is 100m in length may or may not be visible depending on vegetation and colour contrast and the quality of satellite imaging, it should appear as an red-orange-brown gossan feature, gossans are sometimes hard to track on satellite and air photo imagery but the blue/green malachite copper is easy to follow once a person is there in the field. The announcement is interesting because the MCT geologists "cherry picked" a few thin zones (thin veins maybe) to deliberately replicate the old Battle Mountain surface rock chip results (which they did), but cautioned that more representative rock chip sampling at surface would show lower Cu grades ( I would guess probably in the region of 0.8% to 1.5% Cu).

had a look around the rock chips that return results, could not see anything that looked like outcrop.
