CircleburnYou should send the exact quote from the NR to your geologist to help him get a better understanding of the companies intent, and prior references directly made from the NR's. Also a company has to be careful before assays stating this is Tetrahedrite and contains specifically this. But the company did state below that the silver is believed to be
BELOW the tetrahedrite "
Zone" The company did state in a prior NR "
significant copper". I think clarifying the exact wording would garner a different response from the geologist, and if he was aware of how this has been progressing without the confirming assays noting these are pre-assay comments. Maybe you did send the news release, but also i would ask how often or likely do any explorco's discover "massive sulfides" anywhere. Just another view and appreciate the info. Copy of portion of last NR below. The company has never stated they had 18% silver in tetrahedrite in any news release, nor that the tetrahedrite itself contained any specific amount of silver.
Another similar fine-grained mineralized zone was encountered fromapproximately 10,500 - 10,600 FT. "We believe that these two zones,which are steel black in color with sooty black streaks, aretetrahedrite-type mineralization. They are hosted in a fine-grainedmica with the degree of mineralization varying from partial to almosttotal replacement of the mica, or in other words disseminated to nearlycompletely massive," said Mr. Russell.
Potential Galena Sulfide Beds
"Oncethrough this second zone, we began to intersect increasingly strongerand wider stockwork veining which looks to be comprised primarily ofgalena. Also, we have noticed what appears to be increasingly densedisseminated galena mineralization with minor chalcopyrite andsphalerite. Both the technical literature on the Silver Valley, andevidence in the drill core suggest to us that we may expect significantlead and silver sulfide zones below a tetrahedrite-type mineralizingsequence," said Mr. Russell. "Thus, we have increased our target depthyet again for DDH-006 to 11,100 FT in an attempt to intersect thesepredicted zones. Our expectation is to intersect a zone comprisedprimarily of galena, followed by a related silver sulfide zone."
AztecaGold wishes to again emphasize that the intersection of significantmineralization as described above does not guarantee grade tenor asintercepted in hole DDH-005A.
