RE: RE: RE: RE: pure speculation BJGood points BJ, although I dont recall the part about the never going under 20%, i would have go back and dig.
On another note, they never gave us any of this info either:
Hester examined New Shaft and notes, "In November 2008, I cut two chip-channel samples from brows at each end of a stope along a vein accessed from the 54 m level from New Shaft. This stoping was conducted after Hutchinson's work... Results of the two chip-channel samples that I collected are posted on Figure 9 [in the Report]...Both samples were screened at 106?m. Sample 1 yielded 32.58 gm gold per ton across 0.58 m while Sample 2 yielded 26.92 gm gold per ton across 0.57 m."
The Report notes that in October 2007, M. J. Taylor P.Geo. collected a continuous chip-channel sample across a quartz vein exposed in the McAllister pit working (Hester and Taylor January 2008 in their NI 43-101 compliant report). This sample was taken by Mr. Taylor to SGS African Assay Laboratories in Mwanza, Tanzania, for preparation and gold analysis by fire assay with AA finish. The sample included a massive quartz vein approximately 22 cm wide plus two cm of mineralised selvage on both walls. The sample returned an assay of 49.0 g gold/t with a repeat assay of 51.2 g gold/t.
