Thanks in advance.

The Purdy's trenches are littered with watermelon seed nuggets and Comet Well is possibly littered more so with watermelon seed nuggets as well. They were detected within seconds and produced on demand from any point we chose from the conglomerate layers. Below are a couple of nuggets, detected and removed within minutes whilst we visited. 
These nuggets are ubiquitous from 50 mile, to Comet Well, to Purdy's and beyond. Looking back from Comet Well to Purdy's puts the vastness into context. The conglomerate thickness at Comet Well is astounding and I can see very quickly that a $50B MC for Novo could still be a massive underestimate. Whilst I don't disagree that the continuity will need to be defined, it is quite evident that the whole country side has been fossicked to death: holes absolutely every square inch of dirt. Amazing! The story for me is a done deal. Now it's about who in the junior ranks has the most potential. Novo is at the top of my list now as well as KAI and MZN. If KAI has the goods and can get their sh%t together, production will be theoretically possible straight after defining the zones to target. Defining a JORC may be problematic but the capex/opex will be extremely low for those with gold near surface. Mass bulk sampling is in my opinion the best option for fast tracking. They should probably be booking in their Steinert ore sorters now @STRUTH! Very exciting and will probably play out for many months to come.
