Some things I note on quick review
1. Question is does Roche Dure continue to flatten out to the South Southeast? The softer incline is much more favourable allowing larger "accessable" tonnage. This is majorly significant for mining later reducing overburden and costs.
2. I notice they are encountering difficult terrain near this hole hence drilled from the same location as prev hole. Lower in the Ann they state:-
"...Drill-hole spacing is planned for completion of drill-holes on sections 100m apart, with drill collars 50m to 100m
apart where possible.
In situations of difficult terrain, it is planned to drill multiple holes from a single drill-pad but
using differing angles for each drill-hole. Sample spacing is sufficiently dense to give a reasonable indication of the tenor of mineralisation..."
It may be due to the pile of prev mining waste pictured here

So now 3 rigs on site "finally". Forth rig I expect still on road from Lubumbashi if its to be there end of next week hopefully?.
Question: Why are they only now mobilizing the 5th rig from South Africa when drilling was expected to commence in Nov last year. Has a rig been damaged in transit or lost or is in some way inoperable? Or is it the drill contractor committing to something they could not realistically deliver in the time frame?
