RE: NR out... Credibility Check
Yes, there really is an Australian Geologist named Ross McMaster

Here's a PDF that says he has done alluvial work before:
https://www.haoma.com.au/2001/Q1_SEP2001.pdf
"Recent exploration work by consultant geologist Mr. Ross McMaster has revealed substantial
auriferous paleoalluvial channels carrying low grade gold. These ancient river beds can be
tested by simple gravity methods and can be cheaply mined in a similar manner.
Mr McMaster expects to submit a resource resulting from this work before the end of the
year."
This says he's worked in Tanzania on gemstone alluvial deposits before:

"Independent geological assessment of the Tsavorite Project suggests an inferred
resource of between 7.6 and 10.4 million bank cubic metres, approximately 18.24
to 24.96 million tonnes, of potentially open pit mineable tsavorite bearing
gravels (both alluvial and eluvial). It should, however, be noted that this
resource estimation is not yet JORC compliant and is derived from internal work
carried out by an independent geologist. Mr Ross McMaster, the independent
geologist supervising the project, is a member of the Australasian Institute of
Mining and Metallurgy and work is currently continuing on the project in order
to upgrade the resource to a JORC compliant Indicated Resource status."
Although the above is all I could google about him.
I think this recent announcement is really positive.
