The Truth about Gram Meters, Part two Further clarification on why the GGG prefers to report drill results in gram meters.
The latest news release from NFG on April 4, serves as the perfect example to clarify this issue. Here is the headlines form NFG’s news release that day.
“ New Found Intercepts 35.6 g/t Au Over 10.65m, 13.1 g/t Au Over 13.9m, 6.9 g/t Au Over 20.4m, 12.6 g/t Au Over 7.6m, & 10.5 g/t Au Over 6.65m at Iceberg”
This headline indicates that NFG discovered five high grade intervals in the two holes that were released. A closer look at NFGC 1128 indicates that there were two additional high grade intervals near the lower end of the hole. At the 130 meter depth, there was an interval of 2.15 m of 7.14 Au (g/t) and at 140.5 meters, there was an interval of 2.4 meters of 8.12 Au (g/t).
For the purpose of showing a more accurate picture of the significance of each hole, the GGG adds up all of the different intervals of gold and converts them to aggregate gram meters. NFGC 1128 ended up with an impressive aggregate total of 312.69 gram meters. When NFGC 1128 is mined, the GGg doesn’t think they will ignore those lower intervals of high grade gold.
