RE:aema conference I had a couple of friends at the conference, who looked at the core, photographed it, listened to the talk. Apparently the new assays may take a month to arrive. The mineralization looks like it crosscuts skarn (baked caprocks), with good quartz veining haloed by chalcopyrite and other sulfides (CuxxSxx). The presence of rhodochrosite (MnxCOx) means that it is a high manganese system, which is a stroke against it, and may mean that it is of Jurassic age. If one looks at Porphyry Rating Systems (eg of RIO), being Jurassic is a big strike against Hercules, but who knows, this may be a good one. The large scale of the property is a plus. The adjoining private company, Scout, may hold the best ground; dunno; time will tell. At any rate, please be cautious with this one.
