So, from Left to Right you see L645W, L630W, and L615W... corresponding to holes 367, 364, and 352 from winter drill program. Now you have to put your visualization skills to the test. In order to really understand this view you have to visually rotate each of the 3 section views 90 degrees counterclockwise... then pretend you are standing on the right edge and looking to the left across the 3 rotated sections. That gives you a view looking southwest towards the boulder field, that is 45 metres in length.

You can see how both L645W and L615W have sandstone caps... while the centre one L630W for hole 364 does not. Again, this points to that zone around L630W as being the exposed tip of the U3O8 orebody that rose up above the bedrock and was scraped off by the glacial ice moving across it. (At least that could be one interpretation ;-).
This zone is so unique and fascinating to analyze. All the data is freely available on the Fission website and on Corebox as well for you to poke around and play with. You won't find any other U explorer that provides such easy and transparent access to all of the scint data, gamma profiles, assay tables, section views. It really is a fantastic data collection, imho.
Happy U hunting!
Cheers!

As sudzie says, the Gamma profiles are very similar, with 364 having stronger peaks but 367 appears to have a higher average grade over the same continuous interval. With 15m separation between holes and none yet drilled to the west of 367, you can readily see why Ross becomes animated when talking about the possibilities.

Given the very strong correlation between 364 and 367, it would appear that a lens of around 30m+ thickness exists along that SW-NE conductor. Seems unlikely, given the strong correlation, that the lens would just end at 367... but the question remains as to how far West that lens continues, and does it get thicker or thinner. We also don't know how wide it is to the NW and SE of that conductor. If it mirrors the structure of R780E then it could be significantly wider and thicker. That's why Ross and others like myself and sudzie are anxiously sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for the drills to start turning again at R600W. ;-)
The other interesting bit is that the mineralization for hole 364 begins right at the interface between the glacial till overburden and the basement. The lens would seem to have been completely exposed at the surface and scraped away to the SW by glacial action (which to me is a strong indication that R600W is the boulder source). However hole 367 shows about 5m of sandstone between the overburden and lens, putting it under the glacier scour surface as shown in the PLS discovery cross-section (which has not yet been updated to show R600W). As such, it remains "unscraped" under sandstone, which might mean the lens thickness could expand to the west... or not... we c.... ;-)

All very interesting stuff to feed Ross's dreams. ;-) And even more interesting to the mine engineers working out the open-pit plans.
The updated Assays for R600W are also now posted on the Fission website:
https://fissionuranium.com/_resources/pdf/Drill_Core_Assay_Summary_R600W_06012015.pdf
Hole 367 was drilled fairly soon after 364 so its assays should be in soon. Ross may wait to get a full batch in before the next news release. We shall c.... ;-)
Exciting times ahead! Get those drillers moving. ;-)

Hole 367 is another 15 m further west than hole 364 which was released yesterday. Since the colored scintilator (mineralized ) x-sections from their website on 367 look better than 364, I would expect the assays from 367 to be better than 364, ie 3-4 % over maybe 40-60 meters. And then its open further to the west where they have been doing geophysics
Maybe we get those assays for the Contor Fitzy meeting/conference later this week
