Hidden Gems

Sometimes we don't know what to look for but right in front of us is a "hidden gem" in plain site but often not seen.

The last Announcement on Assays came out on 16/12/22 for DHs 9, 10 & 11. We all would have seen & read it

But it also had Visual Results for Stibnite on Page 4 (not so obvious) for DHs 12 to 23 that we probably didn't really notice???

If you read in the little green boxes it says that based on Visual Assessment by the Geo:

• NAD 12 had 100% Stibnite,
• NAD 16 had 80% Stibnite,
• NAD 17 had 90% Stibnite,
• NAD 21 had 70% Stibnite,
• NAD 22 had 70% Stibnite,
• NAD 23 had 80% Stibnite.

So big deal, what does that mean. Well if you assume that 70% of the Stibnite is Antimony (which I'm told is reasonable) then we can say what the AuEq is using the 2.36 multiple & come up with:

• NAD 12 has ~165 g/t AuEq,
• NAD 16 has ~132 g/t AuEq,
• NAD 17 has ~149 g/t AuEq,
• NAD 21 has ~116 g/t AuEq,
• NAD 22 has ~116 g/t AuEq,
• NAD 23 has ~132 g/t AuEq.

How do you like those pineapples.
These are predictable results if the DHs we are awaiting for Assay Results.

They are brilliant results in anyones language and they are already flagged by the visual stibnite.

Are they exact - no but they are reasonable fact based estimates. Assays are going to be within say 10%. Still brilliant

It does not tell us the length or magnitude but tells us the grade in g/t (AuEq)

So I reckon this info is very relevant but is also a "Hidden Gem" that most people probably missed, myself included until a friend (with geo experience) pointed it out.
