You saying they will just keep mining and see what comes up even if they JORC is not updated? I'm not saying that, the current mineralisation is too fragmented and variable for it to be cost effective to JORC further out than 2 years worth of production. This is not a a uniform lode like Superpit, Cadia, Cowal, Boddington, Carose, Thunderbox etc... where you drill the next hole and its uniform throw-out the strike. Cracow lenses is like Wisteria tree branches some more rich than others and is a b!tch to drill and a nightmare to assay. I have an old post here comparing 2015 Cracow section to the 2020 one to illustrate my point of it being fragmented but more available at depths.

The best way to drill this kind of mineralisation is not from the surface. You need to bring the drill rig UG after you've mined to the depths of the last assay. That is exactly how they plan to drill Killarney and Kenneth by the way... wash rinse repeat. Drilling further than a few hundred meters in the same direction and you will miss the lens because the mineralisation may have jumped laterally to the next branch of the tree.


The next find will be somewhere near the end of the last assay but may not be in the direction you are logically supposed to drill. You could be drilling down in the Kenneth target but you can drill up and you'll find the lens that connect Killarney and Royal. There will be more below but it could be a little to the left or right of the known veins.



There is a running joke in one of the old EVN D&D presentations from way back, there is a larger risk of the company running out of names for the next Cracow mineralisation than there is a risk of finding a mineralisation itself...

As for the Tier 1 idea. The find will need to be outside the existing known mineralisation's above. This is the reason why we are testing Ballymore, NW corridor and Boughyard. The main magma chamber that produced the shoots we are mining now is still in the area somewhere. Think of it like a Wisteria tree, we found and are mining the branches but we have yet to find the main trunk (main magma chamber). The magma chamber when found will be lower grade but uniform and will be similar to the larger deposits where you can JORC the hell out of it like Superpit, Cadia, Cowal, Boddington, Carose, Thunderbox etc
