Here's the latest sentinel images from 19-10-2023.
- I can't see any changes over the last 5 days at:
- Zakanaka
- Black Cat - 6 of the proposed holes north of the road remain undrilled (red). 11 additional holes (white) have drilled.
- Crystal Palace - 15 additional holes have been drilled; only 2 remain undrilled, however these were relocated and drilled.
Black Cat:
Crystal Palace:
Blue Jay:
It looks like KAI are nearly complete at Blue Jay. There have been some interesting departures from the original drill program, with an infill hole and two holes that appear to have been relocated.
Here's the
original drilling plan for Blue Jay:
Here's the gif with the latest frame being 19-10-2023:
Here's a mark up showing what I interpret as holes:
And here's the marked up Google Earth map - Red - not drilled, Orange - interpreted drill pad, Green - Completed drill hole, White - Drill hole not shown on the original drill plan.
I wondering if they had a hit at the 3 drill holes second up from from the bottom of the screen shot. It looks the additional hole (white) could be an infill hole (?). It'll be interesting to see if they go back and drill the 2 holes nearest to the bottom of the screenshot. Relocating the the 2 drill holes on the most southern row might indicate that better knowledge of a trend may have arisen (?). It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming weeks.
I suspect KAI have hit something in all three areas, Black Cat, Crystal Palace, and Blue Jay, but they may not have been supersized intersections. I would say that an attempt has been made to try and increase the size of the discovery with the infill and extensional drilling.
From 12-05-2022:
So, putting my speculator's hat on, it'll be interesting to see if we've hit a 10m intersection of spodumene and now we're starting to try to grow it to a 10 Mt resource, or if we hit something smaller than a 10m intersection and we're trying to get a 10 m or larger intersection. I agree with many of the posters here - if there was nothing found in the first instance, you wouldn't be going back for a second bite of the cherry.
If there's no further drilling at Blue Jay over the next week, it would appear that the drilling at Roe Hills has been completed. If that's the case we should have news by the end of November to mid December.
In the meantime, we should be starting to hear about further drilling for gold at Mount York and geophysical work starting around Zakanaka.
