Based on previous drill holes vs assays I would trust the visual confirmation more than the XRF. We have to wait for assays this deposit is notorious for differing wildly. I expect the kind you linked to end up slightly better and the ones like SR24-040 and SR24-044 to be a bit lower.
What really matters here is that you get a somewhat consistent grade above 0.5% and preferably closer to 1% over a large distance. See the images below from Kupferschiefer to somewhat visualise.
If this just keeps going, AW1 has enough landholding to make this an absolute monster regardless of if we ever find the feeder zone. This copper should be highly economical at surface, with easy metallurgy and bulk tonnage with what appears to be low strip ratio. We just need more time to prove up a resource, which is exactly what the company is doing and why the focus has been heavily on infill drilling + testing the limits and boundaries.
