Results

From the news release

Percussion drilling is a hammer drill that uses compressed air from down the hole to blow the hammered material to surface it is known for poor gold recovery, however, it was considered the most effective method of drilling the stockpile material

They can't use rgular drills, So with the percussion drill,the material is pulverised as they go down and then they use air to blow back dust to the top.  The problem with this is that the gold, being so heavy may want to settle in the porous material of the sides of the hole on the way back up, thus not giving a good indication of the gold.  I believe they will be doing a bulk sampling that will give a much better reading. (although I don't know if they can get it from the lower levels of the mill pile where the higher grades may be.)
    Providence is a great prospect as time will tell.

By trying to spin the results as anything other than a complete disaster they've pretty much outed themselves as paid promoters.  Like I said, even I never thought the assays would be THAT bad!

Ctoivo - great analysis - I admit to being a little under-whelmed by the overall results - but to a certain extent - you are bang-on as to the limitations of percussion drilling! I found 5 holes most significant (10,13,27,30 and 36) and notably the best grades were found closest to surface ! I believe that this was because near surface had the most compacted soils from surface traffic - trucks ...more

Liner - seriously? For starters there is no hole 36 and if you meant 26 then the grade averaged 0.18 g/t. No, the wasn't a typo.  The other "best" holes still only averaged around a pathetic 1 g/t (you can't statistically include the obvious nugget effect samples as was explained earlier)
