Drilling and surface results are not always the same. It is easy to convince yourself that they are, but time and experience have shown they can differ.
The large scale channels which were collected and combined into a bulk sample leave much information about the lateral horizons unknown. The results could be due to nuggets from richer qtz veins falling into the sample and skewing the results. That you cannot argue with. Also it is only one section of the structure. This, perhaps falsely indicated width, is not the entire zone.
Neither of us, for taking a pro or wait-and-see position on this matter is wrong or right. Neither of us is a scumbag or and evildoer, a moron or a genius for taking our position and our risks. We just have our perspective and we express it. I am doing so calmly and rationally, without personal invective, bias, or criticism. I would like to point out however that I have 30 years professional exploration experience in taking samples and assaying them in exploration and mining. I am also intimately familiar with the CIMM standards and the 43-101F regulations of disclosure. You I take it are an investor and perhaps do not have this hands on experience with sampling and its pitfalls. I respect your position and experience however, but I am just pointing out that there are information deficits in the data. Perhaps not show stoppers but still we need to see more breakdown.
I await the gold results from proper sectioning and channeling and drilling as you do. The ball is in play and no matter what happens I am sure it will be interesting.
I wish no one on this board losses in their stock nor ill will. I am not hoping that SUR collapses or is not able to develop a mine in the Phillipines. I wish them all the luck in the world.
I also advocate a fairer and more balanced forum on these boards. I don't expect it, but I advocate it.
I understand that you see gold everywhere in the data and perhaps an unusual gold porphyry deposit. What will happen when it is drilled is the copper will increase and the gold will fall. Usually. If that does not happen then it is an unusual deposit indeed for these parts. Width and grade will vary along strike. It always does. 500 foot horizons are very, very unusual. I doubt that it will hold these kinds of widths. It it holds 100 feet they should be very happy. 100 feet is huge. 500 feet is right out of the picture. We have to get a reality check here.
Pure cheerleading boards do not entice anyone to buy stock. You have to be fair and balanced. You have to let other opinions hold forth. I admit there is a propaganda element here that is very important and that it is very easy to pour cold water on a play in its early stages. But quality will endure. If there is gold there it will pour from the crucible. Have faith.
