There are two reasons or three for being cautious about 3 grams across 478 feet. Of course it is spectacular if it is true. But where have you ever heard of these kind of widths carrying that sort of value before? Sheridan once declared 2 something grams of Pd over 1400 feet in width and nobody believed him at all. Most porphyries average about 1 to 0.5 grams gold over their widths and perhaps 1% copper to 0.5% copper. That is what 99.99% of the buggers average and that is why you perk up when it is outside that range.

The other thing is as he says the zone is oxidized to 100 metres. OK. Is it? Would you see much chalco if it were heavily oxidized to that depth? Number one question. OK, so if it is, what about the residual gold in the channels from the oxide layer above? And what about the higher grade Qtz veins? Can you get rid of the gold that would fall into the cracks? No. Can you estimate the contribution of the higher grade wider veins? Yes. Why didn't they? Good question.

What this leads to is what is the drilling going to run? Want a prediction? How about 0.4 grams across the intersection!

Let's wait and see. In all these oxide thingies you want to wait for the drilling.
