Leave for a day or so and all hell breaks loose...

Good to see that another geologist is looking into KATX and from what I have read as an even keel on what has been posted, etc.

I agree with most of what you posted, only minor details that are more pure geologic in nature.

The only disagreement I have is in your interpretation of the "conglomerate", which I believe is more an altered intrusion, particularly as I do not see any rounded clasts in the presented photo. But we have a photo without a scale, or caption.

Basalt by itself is not economically interesting. Basalt is easily metamorphosed/altered due to its chemistry, but that does not mean that it an automatic host for hydrothermal mineralization. And VMS-style mineralization is associated with a marine environment and this is a rift (subaerial) environment.

So I would agree that if there were only trace/rare amounts of cpy or native Cu in a basalt host that a limited amount of analyses were collected from hole #1.
