High grade conduit feeder plunging to the west at Valley I also think (see comment from ceo forum below) that the higher conduit feeding the gold into the intrusion is plunging off to the west under the hornsfels (rocks that were baked from metamorphosis). The reason I say that is because holes 1 and 2 intersected large widths of hornsfels greater than 100 meters think at around 1 g/t. And they both ended in decent gold grades at the end of the holes. So they had not drilled into the actual intrusion but into the hornsfels that were the rocks that were very near the conduit feeding the intrusion.

Figure 1 - Gold assay results (yellow) for V-21-002plotted against lithologies for holes V-21-001 & V-21-002. Both holes crossed large zones of hornfels associated with the emplacement of the Valley stock, with intense silicification often obscuring original lithologies.
So beneath holes 1 and 2 on the western edge of the intrusion we could be in for a pleasant surprise next summer. My gut feeling is the high grade core of this deposit goes much deeper and is much larger than anyone thinks and it indeed goes out under the hornsfels rocks encountered in holes 1 and 2.
And just wait until they find the intrusion at Gracie. The footprint of that target at surface makes the Valley discovery look small. Snowline really needs to get more drills in there next summer and hit the Valley and Gracie targets with as much fire power as they can muster up. The best is yet to come for Snowline shareholders.
@Tminus1blkSwan Just watched the weekly Friday Crescat show, recommend everyone do as well. Interesting theory QH proposes about the conduit for the high grade plunging to the west, from underneath the hornfels drilled in 2021. Starts at the 1hr-48min mark https://youtu.be/GNmBUpweQp4
