RE:RE:Press releaseAccording to page 78 of the technical report the top 3 Kms has been eroded away. This is not to say that the top 3 kms of gold mineralization has been eroded away. In these orogenic gold systems gold precipitation occurred in one or more bands for unique reasons. How much gold have we lost? - some. How much gold is left? - we don't know. QH has a gut feeling that there are probably a few Kms of gold thickness left. I will guess two.
You can't compare the erosion levels of the AFZ and Fosterville. Both regions have been extensively folded after mineralization and the gold veins pushed up, down and sideways. Then they were eroded to the present levels. Some of Fosterville's best zones were folded deep.
Finding the gold veins at depth is like finding the cherries in a squished black forest cake which has been partially eaten. Welcome to structural geology.
