RE:Geology Question

RE:Geology QuestionA lot depends on things we don't know.  Given the type of deposit we have seen, the spatial continuity is reasonable as shown by the company.  A major fault could abruptly offset or end the mineralization trend but that appears to be a minimal risk here.

Connecting to Kamoa is more difficult to know but the company has indicated several targets of interest in there and I expect it reflects their knowledge of the structure, which would be relatively simple to obtain with geophysics in this case.

The domes appear to constrain Kakula so the lateral extent in those directions is likely limited.
