RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Get ready Secova will find more then 6 hundred thousand 12 DATA VERIFICATION
All quantitative sample analyses have been submitted to independent ISO1EC 17025 rated laboratories. Each of those laboratories has internal protocols for running duplicates and standards, as described earlier under the “Sample Preparation and Security” heading. Data is reviewed upon receipt from the laboratories and again during preparation of this report. This review includes verification that values from the duplicates and standards are consistent.
Tres-Or 2011 drill program
Verifying results from an occurrence characterized by coarse gold (“nugget”) is challenging. One sample from a site may encounter such a nugget and yield high values, while the next sample misses the nugget and is much lower. Particular steps taken by Tres-Or in the field however help substantiate and verify the most important sample results.
For drill core, the most gold-enriched sample interval yielded 83.139 g/t Au over 1.0 m between 50.0 and 51.0 m from the vertical drill hole DV012-11. The reference half of the drill core from this interval was checked by the author and included a 0.50 m white quartz vein in which visible gold was observed. In the opinion of the author, the presence of visible gold in the reference half of the most enriched drill core interval is strong verification of the drilling results.
Tres-Or 2011 pit sample program
For the pit samples, the most gold-enriched sample is DVP-002, which includes the fault breccia of a prominent northeast fault, and yielded 0.77 g/t Au. Most ofthis gold comes from concentrates which were strongly enriched with fire assay values between 166.20 and 610.73 g/t Au (average of 22 fire assays is 369.43 g/t Au). Observation of the concentrate for this sample under a binocular microscope led to identification of several grains of visible gold. DVP-002 also returned notably enriched sludge and reject samples (average 0.29 g/t Au). In comparison, sludge and reject sample from the other less enriched pits returned between 0.04 and 0.07 g/t Au. The authors believe that the occurrence of visible gold in concentrates from DVP-002, combined with the elevated gold enrichment of sludge and rejects, provides verification of the sample value.
The author is of the opinion that the most significant data has been verified adequately for the purposes of this report, specifically in supporting the recommendations for further work.
