RE:RE:RE:RE:Anyone notice the new Aug 11 presentation!I would like to add that it's been my belief for many months that the A2 and A3 shears come together at depth. I first suspected this when I saw a cross-section view of the shear zones and how the EM-conductors converged at depth. See below, the area of interest is circled in red:
AR-15-44b proved this concept with 167m+ (true thickness of 43.6m @ -75 degree dip) of 5% material (using max ore dilution of 4.5m). In other words, if we use a max tolerance of 4.5m between mineralized zones, we get a diluted mineralized intercept showing a true width of 43.6m @ 5% U308. Given that the A2 shear was previously defined as having a maximum true width of roughly 27m, we can extrapolate that the A2 and A3 shear is no more than 4.5m apart (true thickness ~1m) in hole AR-15-44b. The graphic below illustrates AR-15-44b connecting the A2 and A3 shears at depth:
I suspect ongoing drilling will further prove my theory that the shears come together at depth. Per the August 5
th news release, AR-15-48c2 hit A2 at a shallow dip angle of -67 degrees. AR-15-48c3 was drilled at a steeper angle of -72 degrees and AR-15-51 was drilled at an angle of -75 degrees (typical angle for most holes at Arrow). My guess is that as NXE drills down-plunge and at an angle of -75 degrees, we’ll see the shears coming together. See the over-head plan view that follows, I’ve circled the area of interest between AR-15-48c2 and AR-15-51 below. Infilling this area will have massive implications on resource, especially if we see grades seen in AR-15-30 and AR-15-44b (5-6% diluted):

Who is to say, maybe the PLS boulder field was actually carved from Arrow and not Triple R?
Per Doug Beattie (Octillo), whom you've labeled a poser, the strike typically matches vertical extent so bluesteele speculating ~1000m strike seems probable.
While extending strike is exciting, I think we have lots to prove up, as is. I am very eager to see results down-plunge from AR-15-51. If you look at the over-head plan view on the corp presentation (slide 10), it appears the A2 shear swells around this hole.
According to Travis in the Northern Miner article:
“The alteration in the new step-out holes looks to be just like the top of the high-grade core on the A2 shear we drilled previously,” he says. “Our technical team believes we clipped the top of a much larger mineralized system so we’re investigating that further with more drilling down plunge.
