RE:Taking Stock of "Sluice Fundamentals"
What the next step is is to figure out the conglomerate grade on an area by area basis. Large bulk samples (expensive) at Purdy's/Comet will do the trick there. But what about the miles and miles of other exposed conglomerates? You can't tell the grade unless you do large bulk samples out in the middle of nowhere and if you can't tell grade then you don't know if it's profitable to mine. Especially under 20 feet of hard rock. I mean how far down dip can they go and still be profitable? Not far at the grades shown at Purdy's/Comet wells. I'm leaning towards the idea that the conglomerates under 20 feet of hard rock won't be profitable to mine on a large scale.
