I'm no geologist (obviously), but I noticed the same thing and actually predicted to myself that you would comment on it. wink

Would there ever be an occasion where a geologist might sample the visible sulphide, not as part of a fixed span, but let's say if they visually spot a vein and merely wish to measure its mineralization grade...for curiosity, not for reporting in any official capacity?

Also, wouldn't it be common for a geologist to go around with his hammer chipping away at the wall to get a general impression of what kind of mineralization existed? As I recall in the video of Las Dos Marias posted on the Medinah website, JJ Quijano was going around the cave and randomly chipping away to show others the mineralization. It wasn't part of any official sampling program, but merely for demonstration purposes.

All of that aside, I do agree that any sampling program they perform and report on should be done properly and not reliant upon cherry-picked samples.
