Well I always said I'd save this for an
exceptional day, and what better of a day. A tribute to the man who will likely be the 2023 Australia Explorer of the Year!

I smoked this one out tonight for all the bad faith actors who have tried to down-play these amazing results by discrediting the CEO of our company. This is the result of smart geological mapping and reconnaissance, followed up with a well-designed drilling campaign when you're backed by a world player, SQM.
For those who need to take a backseat and learn a thing or two, you could have also predicted what was beneath the ground based off the
exceptional geological disclosure the company was presenting to its loyal shareholders:
https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/67231870/singlehttps://hotcopper.com.au/posts/67301079/singleAlas, I couldn't have predicted a second fault, and the displacement of pegmatites between them but I nailed AP12 because I LISTENED to what the company was telling me. Tony spoke, and I listened.
However I couldn't have foreseen the monster that is AP11. 105 metres of white gold - that's the kind of results mid-tier explorers would kill for when they aren't drilling down-dip of their pegmatites.
- They've only drilled out 800m of strike so far (including ANDD0199)
- Structurally very complex around the faults. More than happy to move away from those
- ANDD0199 intercept is almost certainly AP11 - near perfect alignment with the projection of AP11 pegmatites
- Zonation of mineralisation will be an ongoing concern
- Beautiful spodumene textures but fine-grained will require DMS + floatation
- Happy to ascribe a 35-45 Mt exploration target based on current drilling. Tony, we're gonna need a bigger boat!
Cheers Tony, you absolute legend.
