RE:RE:RE:"Coarse nuggety gold is a good problem to have"Hey Treetroll. For once you've actually stated something that has an ELEMENT of truth to it re: sampling but you've once again omitted another key variable; sample size. Larger sample sizes such as bulk sampling will give a better clue as to whether the coarse gold effect is a mirage or not. Drilling doesn't cut it. At the end of the day though the only way to 100% confirm coarse gold is to actually mine the deposit. AGG's extensive internal bulk sampling program as well as bulk sampling undertaken by arms length 3rd parties showed a consistent, significant bump in the lower grade area's of Zone 1 where grade was originally determined by RC drilling. Regardless, the Kobada FS is robust enough on it's own and takes no account for the coarse gold effect. If they get a bump in grade from the coarse gold effect it is a bonus.
