The deeper targets which were revealed with the previous round of DHTEM etc, have never been tested. Significant alteration has been noted in drill cores after visual inspection.
Some of the targets have presented themselves as potential mineralised intrusives.
The fact that a large majority of the holes end in significant mineral grade, leaves everyone wondering just how extensive the resource is at BAU.
Essentially there are approx 3 Moz within a surface to ~100m strata.
Testing the EM returns will enable the team to determine the type of rock/minerals which are causing the very strong return signals.
Yes, mining will commence most likely as open pit. Good to get more drilling done at surface to expand and determine the JORC MRE before breaking ground.
