Thank you Aedo, now that sounds extremely tedious! I think I'm only now understanding how it takes so long to drill a single hole and have it assayed.
Is visual inspection be a good indicator of mineralisation if done by a competent geologist? I'm sure they would know exactly what they're looking for?
If a hole is drilled at an angle, and the results state a depth at which mineralization is encountered, is that the vertical distance from the surface of where mineralization was encountered? Or is it the distance from the drill 'collar'? Am I using the term correctly?
Is diamond drilling always better than RC drilling? In other words, are there conditions under which RC drilling can umm, get all information needed to define a resource etc. without diamond drilling? Example for a target that isn't very deep.
