Paydirt TV VideoIn the video QH stated that novo has a 3 pronged approach to exploration at the moment. Core drilling, large diameter drilling, and "probably most importantly trenching".
Can anyone with knowledge of WA mining regulations answer these questions:
What kind of hoops would Novo have to jump through in order get a crusher and Steinert sorting machine up and running at Purdys? How long would it take?
I'm assuming that Novo could run all of the conglomerate trench material through the Steinert and separate all the nuggety gold. Novo could still take bulk samples from the trench wall and have them assayed for fine gold.
This procedure would provide a much better estimate of grade than simply relying on trench samples. I'm wondering if this is not being done due to red tape.
