Pyrite in core photos?
I'm no geologist but that looks like the calcopyrite we are seeing in the core sample photos? It doesn't look like gold to me. Can someone more knowledgeable on the subject add some 'colour' to what we are looking at in these photos? Much appreciated!

I have a hard time believing that is gold. Chalcopyrite is the obvious there considering Ken mentioned it in the release....I'm just as happy with that though....copper grades are just getting better and better....The last set of metallurgy tests already said we should be able to get a 25+% Cu con out of CS-600....on top of the gold/silver

A copper con of 25%+ is required to get a refinery to accept it. The gold and silver may report to the con as well or some of it. Much more work required.

Yes I understand that....that's why I said 25+. How I read the report is that was a minimum cutoff and that they would be able to meet or exceed it. Not sure what your point here is.....the testing shows that it should be doable...

Also, as I've explained in depth in the past, any gold and silver that is contained in that concentrate will just make it more valuable as copper smelters are set up to recover them from the slimes that result from the copper smelting process.

CSK...we are a junior miner...exactly why are you spending SO MUCH TIME and effort on discrediting a junior miner? 'We are indeed better off than Seabridge at this same point. Good day sir...
