Ann: South Hope Drilling Yields 34m at 2.5% Cu and 0.5g/t Au, page-18

Yep - grade is even higher in HMMARC009 but still pretty skinny intersection compared to the earlier hole along strike (HMMARC008).


Does not change the thrust of the release that Hope South results were encouraging but Mt Mascotte and Mascotte West drilling downgraded those prospects a bit. At Mt Mascotte it looks like some sort of structure has offset or changed the orientation, thickness and grade of the mineralisation between holes 008 and 009. Not a total loss though - they might come back to it after a bit of a think about the geology and try some additional holes if they think its totally inexplicable or there is a reasonable explanation that can be drill tested, just not as high priority as before.....
