RE:RE:Aspen Grove ExplorationThe Aspen Grove exploration was dumped for two reasons:
1. The prices of both gold and copper were in the dump at that time.
2. Kaizen was exploring the properties looking for a cheap open pit mine and so no deep drilling was completed.
Kodiak has shown that there are decent surface expressions of the porphyries but the high grade intercepts have been much deeper.
The average CuEq is about 0.7% but was not good enough when the metal values were 60% lower. Keep in mind the average copper mine is built at 0.3% Cu and the average gold mine is 1g/t. As it stands the grades are decent, copper is good with excellent gold credits.
Cheer up Vanex, I know you have been here for a while.
