TJ22 .... I think you may have picked up on this, perhaps hole DD44 has revealed the very poor Logging Estimates of the visual % of Chalcopyrite in the specified sample intersections.
One does not have to spend a lifetime in the exploration business as I have to understand what 1% Chalcopyrite (CuFeS
2) represents. Chalcopyrite is made up of 34.5% Cu.Therefore, the drill logs have stated so many times, that there is only 1% Visible Chalcopyrite, just compare the Anns of the Logging, then compare the Analytical Cu % of the intersections against the Logs !
A 1% visible Chalcopyrite in a intersection equates too 0.35% Cu.
Who ever loogged this needs their bum kicked !
I looked at the Ann's of the Logging numerous times, and thought twice, I will hold off. So I am very disappointed in the previous Ann which was enormously underestmated, it is a big FAIL on the part of the Geo, no question. That Geo either needs re-training or, an eypiece or both !
The logging is very poor compared to the Analytical outcome !
But, I think Rob is clearly forgiving the Geo with the latest Ann, when he said below .....
I am very disappointed, those earlier Geo Logs were very incorrect, so much so, I tend to Q the reason. A second person must have looked at them with some knowledge, surely?
Just compare a couple of those Visual Logs, yep, 1% Chalcopyrite with the Analytical Results.
Never mind, as I have got the sh!t off my shoulders now, as I missed out when seriously considering those earlier Logs ! Ggggrrrrr ! LOL
However, I am not totally 'peeved' as I have been analyzing the IP work closely. Hole 44 is just entering the upper levels of the High Chargeabilty and Low Resitivity, very indicitave of hig % Cu below !
Ah, its definitely not Graphite, that rotten black bit of finely disseminated crap, that can fool the most experienced Geophysicist in to thinking they have a Cu target. (Of course every Geophysicist will call it a target, why, because they are paid as Consultants to find targets !) LOL
But NOT in this case, just do some research on this IP anomoly, looks just perfect to me, and hole 44 has only just touched the most shallow section !
So its now a long wait before the action starts again in 2022, but, from what I can see, this anomoly has all the right signatures, it will be well worth waiting for.
At this early stage of exploration, I would not be holding my breath for this mineralising system to reveal anything like a IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) system. This is a whole different scenario from what I can see. No need to compare it with Olympic Dam/Roxby Downs. Why, I spent twenty years of my life with WMC Ex Div, and ten with RD/OD.
But, never believe a poster on HC, because they come from all walks of life.
GLTAH .......... Time is on our side.
