Do these guys have anything besides "proto ore" in any of their holes?
You cannot mine that crap, I don't care if they have 50 square miles of it continuous and 500 feet thick.
Someday we will hit the massive stuff we have heard before.
I know where there is 300 feet wide of 1% zinc in Timmins Ontario and nobody is calling it the Timmins basin. And we know there is massive sulphides in 100's of showing throughout the area. I know, I know you are going to say " Botwood has chance then.."
There is a principle in VMS epithermal. (if there is such a mix) that what you find is what you are going to find. Usually when you drill, the next 20 drill holes have exactly the same characteristics. I know of several 11 mile long pyrite zones and low grade lead zinc zones, and that is all you get, no matter how much you sample. As a matter of fact there about 3 or 4 long sub 4% zinc vein/banded sulphide showings in the Timmins area and some of them are polymetalic. Widths to 30 feet. Silver, gold lead, copper in the veins too.
Good luck to them though. You never know.
