Good theory Poet but the key is drilling those deeper holes to determine if a large lode of sulfide mineralization exists. A larger resource will defined by getting some serious width on the results. AAND-15 is a good example with "27.70m at 5.96% Copper, 2.80g/t Gold from 53.15m Incl. 4.57m at 21.90% Copper, 3.72g/t Gold, from 53.15m"
If you also look at AAND-14 and AAND-19 they hit more serious copper grades the deeper they went with the following:
"35.60m at 3.67% Copper, 0.22g/t Gold from 153.00m
Incl. 2.60m at 19.75% Copper, 0.69g/t Gold, from 155.80m
Incl. 4.85m at 8.43% Copper, 0.56g/t Gold from 182.85m"
and
"20.90m at 2.58% Copper, 0.18g/t Gold from 93.00m
Incl. 6.40m at 5.06% Copper, 0.20g/t Gold from 98.00m"
The grades closer to surface weren't the ones that impressed the market but this is just my opinion. So your theory may work but it may not be utilizing time and resources to their full potential if we attempted drilling in this fashion. Also with this method an amazing results such as the one from AAND-115 would have been missed. I think the GEO's would have a good indication if they threw some holes down towards the EM target and they came back with similar results to AAND-14, AAND-15 and AAND-19 at depth. The GEO'S would then make the assumption that the resource extends the entire length up to those recent Antas North results with similar widths of copper mineralization at depth. That's where the infill drilling would then come into play. Just throwing in my 2 cents onto your theory...
