Agree dogabone but to my mind the most significant point is that company policy does not permit samples where visible gold is present be included for assay purposes.This is taken from their website re the RoD -
"While carrying out the stripping work at the Cannon’s Creek adit, MCO geologists have been sampling and mapping the drive and numerous samples of coarse visible gold have been found in the RoD dyke material up to 2mm in size. Assay results from the sampling have been up to 851g/t Au. MCO policy dictates that samples should be first inspected for visible gold prior to being submitted for assaying. If gold is present, the samples will be replaced with another sample in order not to deliberately sample high grade material, rather the lower grade material of the sample area."
So, an assay of 851g/t and the numerous samples with visible gold have been excluded. The patient will be rewarded in 2012 - well, that is my humble opinion.
