RE:Expansion to the Northwest...looking at tudors pdf for the maps one can calculate that hole 116 was drilled to a distance of about 1600 feet horizontally under the mountain. The scale is there and the location of the glacier edge is there to measure off from ....
If you go back to the first map you can also see the contours for the mountain.... 116 at its furthest is very close to ending under the contours that indicate the mountain top. Not quite but almost there...
Way back before ken konkin took over tudor drilled into the copper belle flank of the goldstorm mountain looking to get under what i assume was the massive anomaly that was sitting in the area of the mountain top... ken reversed the drills and went in the other direction...the rest is history..
but 116 and 113 may well indicate that he has reversed his drills and is drilling underneath the mountain... His target may be rock that would be beneath the massive mountain top anomaly..
look at the first drill map again and you'll see in big bold lettering
mineralization open....
with an arrow pointing directly inderneath the mountain... and that is the way 116 and 113 were heading...
finally i don't have time to go back and get the drill hole number but you can see it on the first map... It runs almost directly under hole 113 and much further under the mountain.... At its very end and bottom they had a section of significant grded mineralization....
So if you then look at hole 119 the A 300 zone and the other one directly underneath it are nowhere to be found..... Only the DS5 deep stock work 5 is there... so the A 300 zones looks like it has veered off and is headed underneath the mountains....
you know if there was a placement of drill holes completed and drill holes in process on the map... we could get a picture which is light years ahead of where I'm at in trying to understand the shaping of the deposit....
so rockport was right... the 116 hole is a jaw breaker...But the eureka finding and ken konkin's connection of it to the DS5 zone is equally spectacular.... ken didn't call the fault sulpherets.. And the DS5 zone is connected to that eureka fault....
“In addition, we confirmed that a significant gold system exists at the Eureka Zone with mineralization occurring near surface, which terminates in a regional thrust fault at depth. -ken konkin
