RE:There is no halt RT and 3.87 RT/VB Compaison2nd "ugly" thing is that this NR that took a whole weekend to release, does not contain a proper
table of results, ask yourself why not?!
But lets compare VB vs. E&L "discovery holes" (difference is there were some previous drill holes on E&L and VB was total greenfields discovery)
VB: *40m @ 0.88%Ni + 0.63% Cu + 0.042%Co from 34.5m depth
*71m @2.23%Ni + 1.47%cu + 0.123% Co from 34m depth
*86m@ 0.87%Ni + 0.62%Cu + 0.045%co from 38m depth
*10m @ 0,74%Ni + 0.45%Cu + 0.088%co from 57m depth
VS.
E&L - EL-17-04 cut 7.2% nickel, 3.4% copper, 0.82 g/t palladium, 0.78 g/t platinum, 0.40 g/t Au, 10 g/t Ag and 0.195% cobalt over 4.8 meters at the bottom of a broader 48.2-meter interval from 108.4 meters grading 1.1% nickel, 0.69% copper, 0.38 g/t palladium, 0.23 g/t platinum, 0.16 g/t Au, 3.1 g/t Ag and 0.032% cobalt;
- EL-17-04 also intersected a second zone of mineralization within a variable-textured gabbro featuring 1.08% nickel and 0.68% copper over 12 meters starting at a depth of 189 meters;
-> Have to corrent myself, they DID drill deeper in EL 17-04 but although the "upper zone from 108m to approx 156m depth did intersect 7%+ Ni and 3%+ Copper in the last 4.8m, this does not continue, but at 189meter depth so approx after an additional 30meter of no/or low grade comes an 12meter of 1,08%Ni and 0.68%Copper
*EL-17-03 - 13.5m @ 1,05% Ni + 1%Cu (+ PGMs?)
*EL-17-02 - 18m @ 0.91%Ni + 0.80%Cu & 24m @ 0.56%Ni + 0.65% Cu - No detailed depth given
*EL-17-01 60.5m @0.54%Ni + 0.53%Cu + PGMs from??, but deeper than 176m depth
I think easy to see - not even close to VB and WHY no proper table with drill maps, they had ENOUGH time over the weekend.
Poor NR imho, not poor in terms of results in generals but the way its presented.
