Sorry, don't know why that didn't work. Here is the post--check out the pages of posts on Stockhouse related to in just a matter of an hour or so on a Sunday morning:
NUGGETS in the MAFIC layer of conglomerate.
Everyone just take a deep breath and think ! So far everyone is telling you this is a nuggety deposit so it is unpredictable and random ...FALSE ! Everyone take a look at the aerial shots of the dug up trenches. Do you see any randomness in those aerial pictures ?? Look at the exposed MAFIC layer of conglomerate in every one of those trenches with the exception of a trench where there was a peninsula or a small island ...and see how heavily those pink circles are present in each trench...to me, there is nothing random about the volume of the nuggets found per trench. As a matter of fact, this tells me that the nuggets that are at the bottom mafic layer of conglomerate are in fact CONTINUOUSLY PRESENT throughout this entire -bottom MAFIC conglomerate from one trench to the next. As a matter of fact it is continuous for 8 kms and we already know this by the thousands of fossicker holes !! And by the law of square probability, it is probably continuous for 8 kms South as well ! So many of you are confused about this as some newsletter writers as well , but you have to distinguish that when talking about nugget randomness , it is pertaining to different layers in the conglomerate, where it may not be present, so for now we know the BOTTOM layer of mafic conglomerate has CONTINUOUS nugget presence throughout the entire exposed trenches 100% ! Remember guys, this was an OCEAN precipitation event, and there is nothing so far mentioned disproves that ! Also, remember that Witwatersrand was only 30 cm thick ! Anyone that diminishes 1 meter thickness as being uneconomical to mine should give their head a shake. This is more than 3 times thicker at 1 metres and ridiculously thicker at 4 metres thickness ! So who cares if it is not 14m thick !! Because these large nuggets are present in the Pilbara, and not in the original wits, it seems more than likely that this will be WAY richer in grade than wits. My guess is 1m bottom mafic layer at 45 g/t on the average per each trench as a whole !! which is triple the grade of wits...!
Now, the latest news was actually excellent in that they decided NOT to use unreliable data from 17.5 inch drills. So this eliminates the future uncertainty of bad drill results which is great ! But because the company did not release an alternate plan we sold off . Market hates delays of any type. (So I took the opportunity like many of you guys to load up more NOVO for the Black Friday sales)! I also knew all along like many of you guys, that this was not a reliable way to measure this enormous once in a planetary cycle gold deposit because if you picture a foot and a half diameter drill, it is still a tiny fraction of this horizontally extensive system ! It does not take much to realize that for a laterally extensive nugget rich deposit like this, you need to sample as much the lateral extent as well to get a true representative bulk sample data, so to have confidence in it. So that is why you need to make exploratory underground shafts like I mentioned before ( and tunnels starting at trench limits ) to REALLY bulk test this ! This may be costly at beginning but I am sure these shafts can later be modified to become permanent ones for production and THIS can probably pay for this shaft in less than a year if not months of gold production from this shaft !
Finally, it’s easy to explain the flattened shape of nuggets ( which is from the weight of the seabed and water)...but if the fine gold occurs around the nuggets as metemorphitic halo from thermal pressures, should it not be more evenly radiant around these watermelon seed nuggets (like the rays of sun )? To me, it looks like gold fossilized hairs on a first complex symbiotic Cyanobacteria super colony . This super colony base was originally ovoid in shape and was probably made up of oval shape producing Cyanobacteria. It was lined with columnar Cyanobacteria that gave it a hair like appearance all over it’s body....once the gold precipitation occurred as an ionic exchange between the recently released Oxygen, displacing the positively charged gold ion releasing it from its bound form from the acidic sea and attaching on to the negatively charged cyanobacterial membrane, this process actually fossilized the supercolony, as gold precipitated onto it reproducing the exact shape of it... and this exchange occurred for 200 million years and that is why there is so much gold ! THIS is the original source of this gold. Whether it ended up alluvial (eroded source of this same gold from upper conglomerate no longer present ) or it remained in the basin preserved as fossilized Cyanobacteria colonies...so every little gold particle probably represents the shape of the tiny photosynthesizing bacterial colonies that made it as literally as a carbon copy of itself …just remember, there were 50 different types of Cyanobacteria that used to exist in the Pilbara...!
Now if it is true that this fine gold component occurs just around nuggets
whether it be a 2 mm nugget or a 4 cm nugget, then the percentage of fine gold should remain consistent relative to the coarse detectable nuggets . For example, the fine undetectable gold particles counted for approximately 14 % of the final gold grade in the first trench result . Then you could just release the fast nuggets assay results from Steinert of the 2 % material which could be released in days, with the fine gold results to follow later..... then estimates can simply be made in our heads of total grade with fines...
As everyone is shocked at the price decline on Friday, it may well be an excellent opportunity for those that have missed out earlier on the play to take an entry position. I feel that the story is unchanged and my belief in the story grows stronger each day as they expose more trenches... I am also looking to add more on Monday at these current undeserved price sale in my opinion .... And as to the unknown fact that I want to talk to everyone about, it will remain unknown until I can legally post it but it is something big...
