You are 100% Correct ErOck.....witch is why this Bird is Lovin his Kat today..I own a Smorgasboard of Metals today! and yesterday I thought I just had Copper, Silver and Gold....Mar 01, 2010 09:55 ETKAT Exploration Discovers up to 5840 PPB of Gold in Soil Samples and 31.4 g/t Au in Outcrop at Handcamp Gold PropertyMOUNT PEARL, NF--(Marketwire - March 1, 2010) - KAT Exploration Inc. (PINKSHEETS: KATX) www.katexploration.com --

KAT Exploration is pleased to release the results of 1457 soil samples received from Actlabs in Ontario, Canada for Gold and base metal analysis. The results have shown several very impressive anomalies over certain sections of the grid which encompass less than one quarter of the overall property. Soil samples have been digitally plotted by an independent geologist on grid maps that can be viewed at KAT's website www.katexploration.com under the "Handcamp" Property.

To the SE portion of the grid lies a very strong, distinct anomaly of Zinc stretching for over 900m X 300m that would no doubt warrant intense follow up.

To the West and NW portion of the grid is a very large cluster of Copper Dang does this mean Vale is going to stake around this property too? anomalies extending beyond the western boundary of the grid. This is also very exciting as it leaves the door open for more discoveries off the grid, yet still on the Handcamp property.

Of most interest to the company and importance to the property is the extent of Gold throughout the western, central and NE parts of the grid. In all three sections where high gold results are located in soils, rock samples have verified gold in the underlying outcrops with the central portion of the grid being particularly impressive, where soil results were as high as 5840ppb Au with 31.4 g/t Au in outcrop underneath this same area.

These soil samples were from a grid of 44 lines with each line one kilometer (km) in length. On the compilation soil map, there is quite an obvious overlay of base metals and gold that will also be given much attention by trenching, rock sampling and drilling.

The company will now proceed with its next phase of work bringing to the fore the full potential of this property. Ken Stead, President/CEO, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the results and happy to report that the 'Handcamp' property will now receive a planned drill program."

These main anomalies extend as much as 1 km (1000 meters) from the high grade zones where the first phase of drilling will take place. This demonstrates the significance of how widespread gold and base metals are throughout the property.

Yeah, ppb or ppm is just another way of reporting analyte concentration. For example, pph (parts per hunderd) is the same as percent (%)...(ex. 6pph is 6%). So maybe that will help put it in perspective. 6 ppt (parts per thousand) is 0.6% and so on. So ppb or ppm is still an acceptable reporting unit for solids (soil, rock, sludge, etc.). FYI, ppm is equivalent to mg/kg in solid samples (that is, mg of your analyte per kg of sample).

For liquid samples, ppb or ppm is equal to ug per liter of sample or mg per liter of sample, respectively.

So, those ppb or ppm units for solids, may also be converted to g/ton or oz/ton to make more sense for various applications. It all depends on what you're doing with the data. If someone gives me a sample and says "I need you to test this, it should be in the range of 2-6 oz/ton, that doesn't tell me a lot with regards to how to calibrate my instrument. Calibration standards don't come in oz/ton concentrations (at least none that I've ever seen). They are in ppm or ppb. So, you'd have to convert backwards to get it to the appropriate units of measurement to get the right working calibration range on your curve. Sorry, maybe a bit too much info, but who know, maybe someone will find it interesting.

I cannot wait for the drilling - shouldn't be long to wait either from what Ken has said.

Er0ck, with this KATX thought...

Wow! I can't believe I am over 500 posts behind again.

Besides that, what you posted should be read by everyone a few times to fully understand just what it is that you are saying here with KATX.

The question is no long about wondering if KATX has gold. The question is now about how much gold does KATX has.

This is huge and you are very correct. Having 31.4 grams per ton is huge. I think I simply need to echo your post below.

I am not sure if they rate rock samples as "ppb" as they are rocks not soil but 31.4 grams per ton is massive. And heres the important thing about it. The soil sample containted close to 6 g/t, so they took the rock sample from underneath the same area that they got the 6 g/t reading from and found 31.4 grames per ton in the rock.

With this type of deposit the deeper you go the more gold you should find until you reach a certain level. The fact that they found roughly 6 times more gold in the rock right under the soil with the highest readings is very impressive and would strongly indicate that there is much more under that in the other rock layers and could go down 100s of meeters.
