I think that comment could easily be misinterpreted.
As I understand, the very beauty and highlight of the Aurora Tank Gold discovery (and the petrology analysis) is that it features very very very fine gold (not nuggety lumpy gold). The very fine gold is also why Aurora Tank has produced such excellent high recovery rates (94 to 97%) in leach tests, and with fast recoveries: because the gold is such fine particles (which makes it difficult to see).
The visible gold at Aurora Tank (see ASX release of 22 March 2018) has been visible with reflected light microscopy in a lab based on slices from diamond core. The guys on the rigs don't have that equipment, nor diamond core, so it would be unreasonable to expect them to see visible gold from drill chips. That has never happened in the past, even when they hit grades at Aurora Tank of up to 100g/t.
I am very excited to see the results of this program.
