visual copper, page-36

This is all I need to know for the moment:

From Turquoise Hill Resources regarding the inital discovery holes of Oyu Tolgoi:

"Ivanhoe's drill hole Hole OTD-150, Ivanhoe's first deep diamond hole to test the hypogene potential of the Southwest Oyu zone, was drilled in July 2001 to a depth of 590 metres and averaged in excess of one gram of gold per tonne and 0.81% copper over a distance of 508 metres, from 70 metres to 578 metres. It included a zone of 278 metres from 188 to 466 metres, grading in excess of 1.0% copper and approximately 1.50 grams of gold."



1% copper over 500m is exactly what I'm quietly hoping for. If Oyu Tolgoi can open pit the cover above their porphyry and get hits of 500m at 1% copper then so can we IMO.
