So this is a thick section and I think it was 22, 23 meters of massive sulfide mineralization.
You can see that there's kind of variable sulfide quantities throughout there, but it
was also had significant gold mineralization in it, and you can take a close look and
you'd already looked at this, but invisible gold within, I think, is about roughly two
meters, probably averaging about a third, a third of an ounce per tonne, which is extremely
extremely high-grade material. I don't know if you can see that gold in there, but so within those
red circles, let's just tilt it one towards the end.
So that's the exciting stuff to see. Well, it's exciting to see and it's very, it's very rare,
even in most gold deposits, you're not going to actually see the gold. It's pretty rare for it
to be in quantities great enough where it's what we call visible gold, usually. It's just
identified based on the host mineralization or alteration, and you're not going to know
it's there until you get the analysis back. So it's always an exploration geologist, it's always
exciting, exciting to see it in the core. So in like whole-fashioned terms, you say it's
struck gold? Yeah, let's see that. That's going to be the leap to the story. Yeah,
gold rush and tailor company. Yeah, I think we are working on the reef deposit back in 2010,
I think that a local paper had an article on the title is, there's gold up in them there hills.
So how far down is, how many feet down is that section we were just looking at, where to go?
So I guess I could just kind of explain. So the way that you read these core boxes, you really
read them like a book if they're flipped this way. So this represents the top of the hole,
this represents the bottom of the hole, you know, reading it left, left to right. These core blocks
are placed in here by the drillers. So the drillers drill in 10 foot intervals, they have 10 foot
tooling, still drill down 10 feet, pull up the rock after each time they pull it up, they put a
block so that you know where you are in the hole. So these are all the depths in meters going down.
So this section right here was roughly
roughly 275 to 290 meters down down hole. And so these holes are drilled at an angle so that
doesn't represent vertical depth, that's just your down hole depth. I would assume vertically
we were probably to maybe 200 to 225 meters vertically below the surface.
So about 700 feet down. Yeah, because meters roughly 3 feet. So I know it's getting a shovel up.
Yeah, right. No, you're not even going to get down to bedrock with a shovel because it's ways down there.
Yeah, so this represents the bottom of that mass of sulfide, kind of the main mineralization.
Underlying that, you have what we call the quartz crystal tough unit, which kind of shows just
kind of classic, classic alteration associated with these deposits. You'll kind of notice that
this has kind of a dark, almost kind of a bluish tint to it that's caused by chlorate, which is,
you know, typical for the football, immediately underlying your your mass of sulfide mineralization.
And as you move down, it becomes more gray. You're getting out of that kind of chloride alteration
into your quartz-sericite alteration, which really just kind of means you're moving further away
from that main kind of mineralized horizon.
So when you're looking at this stretch in here, obviously the color alone, when you know what
you're looking for, we'll tell you this is the area to focus on. After that, is it all analysis
at the lab that's going to tell you the specifics? Well, so we, so I guess, I mean, the order of
operations, the flow of work. So the core comes from the rig. The drillers bring it at the end of
each shift. We lay it out here. We have a number of geotexts that do different measurements. They'll
mark, you know, they'll convert the blocks. The drillers are drilling in feet. We're logging
everything in meters. They'll convert the blocks. They'll put the meter marks on the core. They'll
do some structural rock quality measurements, which we call our QD. Then the geologist comes in,
and we log it in pretty finite detail, you know, through the hanging wall into the mineralized
section. And obviously, you know, the order of horizon is kind of based on mineralology,
the minerals that we're seeing, you know, the appearance of minerals of economic interest,
sulfide minerals, et cetera. So we take, we take all those notes based on what we're seeing. We
decided what needs to be sampled, which has, you know, what we want to see, you know, whether,
you know, what the metal content of that rock is. So, I mean, you noticed up at the,
the top of what I showed you here, that core was not even cut in half. So it's an interesting
rock. We didn't even send it out for analysis, but everything that we're interested in,
we mark out for sampling. We take photos of every, every box of core, and it goes to the
core cutters who cut it in half, and then they sample it. We send those off to the lab for analysis.
Mike, I don't know if you want to get some
your show.
