My understanding is that the bornite is an indicator of being closer to the core (Remember the core is not where some motherload sits, quite the opposite.) Finding the core provides an indication of the centre of the porphyry - it doesn't usually contain much mineralization as it's the protrusion point (There is a better word for this but I can't think of what it is) that solidified as it closed up.

With the lab turning around slowly, I'd expect newsflow on a hole by hole basis and I guess this will run up until or after xmas.

Now onto BT (While CC is further analyzed and modelled) , and as little bornite has been found yet, the hunt for core continues.

If El Nino sticks around, the wet season may also be less impactful and not halt drilling as in a usual year in Jan/Feb.
