BRISTOL = BRECCIA HOLES WHY SHOW THE BRECCIA ZONE DRILL HITS ? First and foremost - mosrt all the GEO reports on the Scad and pit mines
speak of miners mining the breccia formation.
Bristol is the Breccia.
Secondly....not muchattention has been given to the Breccia / Bristol.
The attewntion it has seen - are mostly deep drill zones.
Over the 100m depth...
Now...if we factor in former miners mining the breccia - some was near surface.
I'm not seeing any drills near surface for the Breccia = it was never given a chance
The higher grade dykes were chased - elsewhere outside the Breccia.
Again...many GEO reports speak of the Breccia as the, source for gold.
I'm seeing 1/g to over 3/g gold grades.
I'm seeing up to 10m interecepts.
Thing is....these are all over the 100m meter level .
If the Breccia zone shows this kind of gold at these depths...
Then...what would it be like from 0-100m ? ( zones that were never checked )
Keep in mind - a deill core is less than 3 inches...
Hitting gold with a 3 inch core is rather an amazing feate.
The question becomes - the irons appear to have - higher grades - thinner intercepts
While the breccia seems to have still decent grades ( 1-3/g ) but not much is known
from 0m - 100m - - - only below 100m mark
What if the Breccia was drilled vertically - instead of on an angle.
What if the breccia hosted 2/g more consitently with greater - tonnage ?
BRECCIA GOLD IS SEEN AT DEPTHS 135m
160m
195m
284m
300m
What if the contact zones between Bristol + Monaco
Would BMK find higher grades due to resistivity of irons keeping the gold from
penetrating the irons - would the gold be high grades ?
What's below 300m breccia ?
Could a source gold be revealed - epithermal gold system that erupted and dispersed the gold into thr irons and throught the breccia ?
Are the presnrt dykes outside of breccia zone - - formed by the breccia formation ?
Do, the dykes have same matrix as breccia ?
If they did - then....what would that mean ?
Could it mean the breccia is the gold source ?
Yes... lots of, questions...
But - good questions.

Good project to, study....
What else is there to do when it's over 30 degrees outside with wicked humidity - lol
