"technically" still the first time it's been drilledFIRST:
... Because in reality, this is the Phase II drill Program, of the first ever Drilling Program - even if it has taken 4 years to get to it (cue the Kozmo - will we get a "facepalm", a "I can't tell whether you're joking", or a ROFLH??
... So, in reality, it is the Phase 2 of the First Ever Drill Program
I know, I know.... I find it a bit of a stretch as well ....just call it the Phase 2 drill program
Or perhaps it needs to be quantified as:
The First Time the McCarthy and Mexican Veins Will Be Drilled, as the Second Phase of our Previously Planned and Press Released Inagural Drill Program , with Updated Targets Based on Our Fabulous and Recently Updated 3D Modelling
(How's that for a mouthfull ) :) ;) :) ;)
Which is technically accurate, and given they were only mined to 100' is actually really exciting in the grand scheme of things
As a refresher, the following are the mines.
<<Providence, Fairplay, McCarthy, Mexican, Consuelo, Goodenough, and Bonita historic high-grade mines.>>
And the following is "one" of the press releases of Phase I and 2 drill programs (I'm not making it up) Update on Phase I Drill Program
June 27, 2019
SECOND from the above press release:
Recently, a brief examination of the historical stockpile a sample bearing visible gold was discovered. The Company intends to conduct a comprehensive testing program of the stockpile using an excavator. A set of exploration pits will be excavated and representative samples will be collected for gold analysis and measuring specific gravity. At this time, the potential quantity of the stockpile material is conceptual in nature but an accurate determination of the location, volume and tonnage of the stockpile will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
I found the above highlighted area to be particularly interesting.... Nothwithstanding the disagreement 'The Kozmo' and I have in our calculations of the stockpile gold values, and how much is nugget effect , what the recovery values are etc. etc. ....the bulk sample has been done, and assays completed, the recovery values determined - even if we don't have all the details ourselves to accurately use that information (as there was more than a bit not press released leaving us to argue about assumptions)....yes....'The Kozmo' and I argue about assumptions alot,
LETS MINERAL RESOURCE THE STOCKPILE RON
You said right here it ..."will result"...we have much more than conceptual. we have perimiter, we've drilled to determine depth, we've bulk assayed giving us volume / tonnage ratio, and the recovery expectations....
Not may
Not likely
But "will result"
So Ron - EXECUTE on what you say you are going to do (maybe the financing will be easier)
Cheers folks
