First pass C6 drill plans shown.
[Poor resolution so transferring to QGIS and GE is schematic ONLY]
The traverses seem around 2 Kms long. I initially assumed 200m spacing of holes but 160m would match C1-5 first pass drilling.
End points of lines are the main thing to look at ( +-100m accuracy I hope) for the images below. Intermediate hole locations very rough.
Government magnetics base. Vs DRE(?) mag below
And Government(?) Gravity
An "easy" geophysical type target for a first pass drill program.
Spacing the holes out at 200m centers (south line only) on Google Earth.
====================
A couple of holes plot in drainages for C6. Given apparent modifications to C1-5 plans these holes may be moved to avoid the rivers.
Some detail on the latter changes.
The light blue stars are (schematically) holes removed from the previous plans. Since they correlate to the currently(?) flowing river it is not too surprising. Thunderstorms in the area have been fairly intense so perhaps more rain recently, albeit local.
DT walked C6 with local stake holders. Perhaps some discussions about drilling of C1-5 and the Lyons River??
The above plan does not show any 80m infill. Would become very cluttered and this is probably the reason not shown. Some of these 80m holes would be close to the river and perhaps not drilled in the current program.
Some detail from QGIS overlays.
C3-5 area
Most of previous planned sites still in proposal.
C1 area with same basic legend.

Yin (regional) on QGIS
I wonder if the big smiles on Luke and Sam's faces are the reason for the more dense drilling at Yin South (Green box and arrows)?
Pretty quick response if this were the case. Plan and show on map. The impression I got from RIU was fairly limited drilling before going to the infill stage. The resolution is fairly poor on this diagram but strongly suggests at least 100m spaced lines are planned.
400m spacing for holes to the south of here with gaps for river crossings. Ditto for the north end where the magnetic trend goes under cover which may be quite deep. [ source of water for HAS? in north under this cover??]
=============================
I do make an assumption that the current plans are only partial. In part for clarity on diagrams and further work is implied by various announcements. The length of this post gives some idea what DRE are dealing with as well as the need for some flexibility in how the rigs may be used.
- 80m infill on C1-5 phase 1 anomalies and any additional surprises from assays.
- No drilling shown at Sabre/Y8/Y2/Y5 (low priority)
- No drilling shown at Y42/Y9/ what I call Yin north
==================
Just before RIU I put responded to a query about pending holes. Been wondering how accurate my memory was for that quick answer and realised Fences 1 and 2 (12 holes) have still to be reported. Should be out fairly soon.
Morning tea time already! Time flies when I'm having fun with a meaty announcement. Been cloudy with thunderstorms (no meatballs I hope) so Sentinel imagery may be limited.
Quick first pass above - DYOR as well.
