Targeting both with one inclined hole would be a bit like trying to drill with a string of spaghetti and attempting to hit two poorly defined pieces of vermicelli. Not impossible but as you say "I honestly don't believe they would be that silly).
On a slightly less insane note the geometries of the plunging zones and a couple of possible holes in plan view.
Any holes would have to be drilled "east to west" to attempt intersect both. From the west and hitting Minyari down plunge would go mega meters below Min North.
Designing holes like this would be a nightmare IMO. I would hope Minyari will be reasonably predictable and therefore be easier to target. Min N is probably mostly conceptual at this time so probably better to test in isolation and consider re entering holes that could be useful tests of Minyari down plunge at a later date.
This long section may give an idea of what they are targeting in the 150m of down plunge at Minyari.
As shown on this long section holes drilled grid east plot as near vertical lines except for deflection. Some holes ARE NOT AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE SECTION and therefore plot as inclined. 3D takes a lot to visualise....
Last years diamond holes ranged from 559-1027m. To test deeper expect more holes in the 8-1200m range if drilled from grid west.
Holes 339 and 340 were drilled sub parallel to the section above and were both 432m. To test in the 150m area such holes would need to be much longer - perhaps 700-1000m.
From either azimuth this is a tricky target at this depth.
Wedges?? Navi/controlled drilling? Expensive.
DHEM targets?
==================================
I am finding AZY announcements a little cryptic this year.
IMO a contrast to previous years but they are putting $s into the ground and finally getting assays out of the lab. Delayed like everyone else.
The drilling interpreted so far this year is shown on this compilation image.
Putting the geochem anomalies shown (white outlines) in this announcement reveals the attempt to locate them was poor (Yellow circles).
With a data dump of drilling: [Probably not all holes - the readily available ones from open file and announcement only - some 1200+]
There has been at least some RAB/Aircore testing near Minyari and a single line on Geochem#12
Geology and Geophysics probably constrain the location of geochem and drilling.
There appears to be a big gap in both drilling and geochem NW of Judes. Perhaps a reason known to AZY.
The 4 named anomalies go up to number 12 (at least) with some of the other possible ones shown on the image below.
AL-02 is probably stronger on the IGO side to the N NE.
==============================
Took a look at Sentinel and found sites I had missed recently.
The Min N site and the other one labelled down plunge test? are probably both that.
The Minyari hole is on the 100100N line which would be towards the northern end of the 150m zone. Would need to be carefully controlled for deflection especially to the south.
The Min N hole is 100m east of a hole drilled earlier this year.
The other sites are ones of disturbance
2 looks like a new drill site.
a and b are large areas of clearing/disturbance for ??
One of the old Sundown sites may have been rehabilitated. ?
Activity is visible in the camp areas - probably trucks/caravans etc.
Time Lapse used to generate the interp.
=========================
No obvious activity at the north or south geochem targets.
Link to area of northern one on Sentinel.
No activity at Tetris. Wonder if I have the correct location? access tracks would show up well in this area.
