Feasibility of trucking only high grade ore?for you mining experts, when you see the previous assays as high as these, being visable, would they be able to just concentrate on the visable high grade ore and primarily truck that to the Q/R mill?

Once again the company is reporting the highest gold grade recorded to date in the area, surpassing the record numbers reported on June 27th. This new zone is parallel/sub-parallel to the first visible gold-cosalite-quartz-pyrite zone discovered on Cow Mountain in June, which reported 19.9 metres of 83 grams per tonne gold, which at the time was the highest gold grade recorded to date. Both zones, running mine grid south and north, are outside the perimeter of the proposed Cariboo Gold Quartz open pit, which is planned for the northwest and west flanks of Cow Mountain.
A third mineralized zone, located mine grid southeast of the proposed open pit, returned assays grading up to 102 grams per tonne over 0.6 metres. For the first time, in addition to pyrite, it is confirmed that quartz and cosalite are also the dominant minerals to carry gold, especially visible gold.
