Mining exploration is difficult because most of the earth's land surface is covered by soil. The purpose of soil sampling is to define what is in the underlying bedrock. Soil sampling is usually in the middle of the exploration cycle. In modern gold mining, the gold is in such tiny particles that they cannot even be seen, much less panned out. But soil samples, with proper analysis, can reveal clues to the location of large gold deposits.

No one is saying this is the end game, but the soil samples are a strong indicator. Test drilling next. Very exciting!
