At the AGM WR mentioned something about Emily that puzzled me. I had assumed all assays were already reported and Line 1 was a complete duster. Obviously this was not the case.
While patchy, it does leave at least 2-400m west of Line 1 open to further testing . Two very wide spaced holes 400m west of Line 1 (99/101) both had no significant assays.
Infill potential for 1400m to the east of line 3 where drilling to date is at 400m spacing. Potential probably more on WA1 side of boundary going further east.
Difficult to know if assays are available or not being reported as below the cut off for announcing. I would assume all the 200 series aircore have been assayed but can't be certain.
With AC the end of hole will commonly be refusal for a "blade" bit near the weathered/fresh rock interface. More powerful AC rigs with hammer drills may be used next years as well as carrying more rods than the 135m available this year. Suspect it might have been the match of capacity for the rig being used as they could have brought more in. Drilling deeper with AC and or AC hammer probably begins to push the cost up into the range of RC rigs so a logistical balancing act...maybe.
End of hole grade. Chances of high grade continuing? Moderate, but probably more examples of the +2% grades stopping soon after refusal (both ENR and WA1). Broad zones moderate to low grade do continue as shown in the sections in the announcement (=Lines 3 and 4). Separate zones of high grade do kick in as seen in WA1 Hole 52 below. No rule which means drilling to test if considered worth the effort at this stage IMO.
The dashed white line may be a rough outline of grade and/or carbonatite with marginal fenite alteration +- carbonatite dyking to the North. Suspect the connection Luni to Emily is relatively narrow and perhaps discontinuous (Line 5 S area in particular). Will be interesting to see results for WA1's drilling west of Hole 52/51
Basically all available assays at ~1% cut off sorted by line number (W-E) and hole
Note the majority of holes were drilled grid south at -60 degrees so surface projections need to be considered.

Today's results would roughly double the exploration target for Emily with the heavy red outline at some 235,000 sq m vs the previous 100K sq m.. Very rough figures to be taken with a very large pinch of salt.
Would roughly match the arm waving numbers by WR at the AGM. Such arm waving numbers do come from 3D modelling, in some cases, so are give the boards a good idea of what might be possible even if ASX rules prevent releasing them.
