RE:VG corenobspls wrote: It is standard practice to assay half the core. I assume there may have been VG in both halves. In any event, you are only seeing the surface of the core, then you cut it in half and would see the inner face.
Conclusion regarding this segment of VG - there is more high grade gold.
"Visible gold in ACD063 was confirmed by assay results. This indicates that cross-cutting gold-bearing structures are found over at least 600 metres of the Alacran Deposit's strike."
So they say there may be two deposits in one - significantly expanding copper / gold deposit with high-grade gold cross cuts.
I am clear with the half core assaying. And it always is the company's decision how to cut the core in two halves.

Gerardo Del Real: Excellent. The other really interesting part to this news release is that you also hit another intercept. We don't have assays yet, I'll caution everyone, but you did have some more visible gold. Can we talk about that? Because the last time you saw that you registered 0.9 meters of 4,440 grams per tonne gold, 10.25% copper and 24.7% zinc. Just throw in 347 grams per tonne silver for kicks, right? Mario Stifano: Exactly.
Gerardo Del Real: Obviously, everybody hopes for those kinds of numbers, nobody expects them again. The bottom line is, you found some more visible gold in an area which I believe is about 150 meters from this last intercept. Is that accurate?
Mario Stifano: That's correct. We're hoping it's good karma here because where we hit the 4,000 grams was in hole 36, and this visible gold is in hole 63, so the inverse. Hopefully that's a good indication of good karma for what we're seeing at Alacran. Yeah, we did hit some visible gold. We don't have any assays back as of yet. It was actually one of the last holes we drilled. It was great timing to put into the news release.
Hopefully within the next month or so we'll get assays and get that out to the market. Typically when you see visible gold you get good assays. Fingers crossed that we get something that the market's really going to like and zero in on again like they did on hole 36."
The reported assay of 0.5m of 5.97 g/t gold is not a visible grade in the assayed half, believe me.
If they cut the core 90 degrees, they have half of the visible gold in the assayed core half.
0.5 m of 5.97 g/t gold is not a good assay.
0.9 m of 4440 g/t gold is a bonanza grade assay.
I did not expect a bonanza grade assay this time, but at least a good assay, as he shouted out of the woods.
The above interview was dated 18th May, like a month before the consolidation news release.
I dont't trust the words of this CEO anymore.
