RE:RE:RE:Chrysos assay result todayMegaC - I suspect that they have been setting the stage for a "this is normal" report by releasing the last few sets of assays as whole core assays -- where they release Side A and Side B at the same time for a combined assay of X.
By doing this, they are demonstrating in real time that nuggety deposits have variability in the assays depending upon where the nuggets lie in the core. This should be obvious and self-explanatory to anyone investing in mineral exploration but perhaps there are some that have never owned mining stock before & are easily swayed by hyperbole and rhetoric.
We know that assays in general are meant to be "representative" of the ore body and not a commitment cast in concrete that the ore grade is X. This is clearly exhibited when one side comes out at 80g/t and the other side at 150g/t. A drill core is only 4 inches wide -- without X-ray vision to assist the process when the core is cut in half you don't know what's left hidden inside either half.
IMO - this bias issue is a total crock - not only frustrating, time consuming and expensive but we will be no further ahead when it's finished OTHER THAN the company proving that it's normal so everyone can calm down and get back to business.
Now -- if sometime in the future we choose to do a bulk mining sample -- that WILL give an indication of overall grade but suh a decision is months if not years away from this stage of exploration.
We have a tiger by the tail and may already have the additional jewelery boxes you have been looking for --- we just don't know it because of the lassay logjam -- not because of this bias BS.
