The object is two fold to add ore positions & not spend a fortune to do it (i.e. several deep diamond holes).

It's easy to daw pictures on a diagram as they have. However drilling, particularly deep drilling can be likened to shoving a needle (ok a lance) into a haystack. Not least because the drill steel flexes and bends in the ground a sit encounters differentially hard rock types.

What are they going to find it they send a deep drill hole into the geometric centre of that green bubble? Likely that marginally copper enriched but not ore grade (proto) ore in granite. it needs to have been concentrate by metamorphism alteration of the host rocks and narrow pathways for the acid high temperature saline fluid to penetrate on aa few times to from the ore.

If they have given (perhaps deliberately) that that whole green blob is say 5-10% copper that's not right. There are no ore deposits like that with the possible exception of KK (Kakula Kamoa) and even then I'm not sure it that's how it occurred.

It's just my interpretation. Someone with more geological knowledge can correct me or clarify.

All IMVHO.

has it been tested already? does anyone know? maybe they are gearing up to test it.
i didn't follow the drill out a decade ago so I don't know how deep they went
