"UDH051 terminated in 1m of massive botryoidal sphalerite (Figure 2) which is interpreted as
chimney fragments from a VMS vent system (i.e. a black smoker), the existence of which was
previously unknown. The hole could not be re-entered after pulling the rods for a bit change
and had to be abandoned. Zinc grades over the final 1.2m are in excess of 60%. Deeper follow
up drilling will be undertaken with a larger drill rig during late Q2 to early Q3, 2013."
This is part of the reason for the bigger drill rig coming in!
Hopefully they can re-drill this hole in particular and see what zinc grades they can pull up!
