Going Deep, Deeper, Deepest

Going Deep, Deeper, Deepest1) They don't teach resource estimates in Canadian public schools, either elementary, junior or senior high. You need specialized training. Although given the drill data, you could plug the numbers into software.

2) It was very impressive that you were able to calculate in advance that the indicated resource would increase by 50% AT THE 3% CUTOFF. Please explain how you were able to do that, since there are no contours provided for the 3% cutoff in any news release or recent study. There are 1% and 2% composite grade contours. But these are not cutoffs either. A 3% cutoff separates the wheat from the chaff for a high grade mine.That's what is envisioned in the 12 Mtpa PEA. Furthermore, these drill holes go right up to the end of 2017, and were not even available in any form before today, as data or contours. The recent January PEA does not include Kakula West.

Maybe you don't think these results are any big deal. I don't agree. We could have easily ended up with a significantly expanded lower grade resource. That didn't happen. High grades continue to expand along strike.
