I agree with you. From reading it sounds like they may have assay results on the gold mineralisation but are not saying what those values are, so I am wondering if they are very low and therefore we get the spiel about the base metals as per the exerpt below from the announcement.

"This intersection confirms the geological
continuity of the structure and continuity of the
gold mineralisation mechanism to that depth.
Base metal results have not yet been returned
so it is not known if it is accompanied by a
base metal anomaly. Lead and zinc values
above 1000 parts per million at Charters
Towers have previously indicated high grade
mineralisation even where assayed gold
values were low. Further analysis for lead and
zinc may help define high grade gold areas in the intersected zone."
