I had a further look at all the data we now have.

Happened to look at RC15, which is located 50M East of DDH12.

I know its an RC hole (and we need to be careful with the data) but it had 15M @ 1.4% Cu from 111M with 11M of 31.6 g/t Ag from 113M, so you'd have to say it ties in very well indeed with the one ore sheet of DDH11, 01, 10 & 12. Showing it thinning very gradually but maintaining the same Cu & Ag grades. So that sheet is actually over 150M long, but doesn't appear to get as far as RC16 (100M away).

RC15 had 2 other significant layers 15M @ 1.8% Cu from 56M and 5M @ 4.8% Cu from 95M, yet neither is seen in DDH12 !!

Hopefully DDH17 will in due course confirm some of the RC15 data.

If it does then it confirms that we're not dealing with just a couple of sheets of mineralisation (upper & lower) but multiple sheets that are stacked here & there, with each having very different dimensions & mineralisation.

In other words the 2 other sheets at RC15 don't go 50M west, they go east as seen in RC16 with 9m @ 1.2% Cu from 52M and 2M @ 1.8% Cu from 89M.

With this theory, its going to be quite possible to have holes like RC24 which came up blank (200M) to the west of the resource box, where these ore sheets don't over lap at all. Yet possibly less than 50M away one or more of these ore sheets actually exists. It's also located just 100M away from this fault they say they've now found.

Interesting times when you apply this to the area around DDH09 heading towards................DDH13

Thanks @Last of the Mohicans , very interesting.

Any idea how the deposit might have been formed? The multiple lenses of mineralisation that you are highlighting might suggest these are dilational deposits, but that wouldn't really explain why what they are seeing at T3 is so different to what has been seen elsewhere, eg cupric's zone 5. Gervaise Heddle in an earlier mining maven presentation spoke about the possibility of a polymetallic replacement deposit associated with a porphyritic system, but I'm not sure that by itself explains the different lenses of mineralisation.
