RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:NR - Bulk Sample Drill Program Concludes With Additional Hig

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:NR - Bulk Sample Drill Program Concludes With Additional HigThe interval between 30 and 56m does include the 0.5m of 17800g/t. In fact about 98% of the gold is in the 0.5 m section. I think that Bob Q. is trying to show everyone that  0.5m of extreme high gold content can be equated to having pulled 334g/t over 26m which is very very impressive in itself. This is called smearing but it can put into perspective what a greater than 1000g/t interval relates to. You can remove a lot of low grade ore containing an extreme high  grade secton and still carry a good grade out of the whole area. In Pretium's case, the probable reserve of 15m tonnes at 13.6 g/t is a good example.
I thought the NR of today was well timed and congratulate Bob Q.
