RE:Geo3987 continues his challenge on NFG Re QWN outstandung grades which exceed those of Fosterville,Geo states that " grades mean nothing if they are inconsistently spaced therefore making it uneconomical ".
So, 75% of the worlds gold is produced by orogenic gold mines who by their very nature, their gold distribution is vein and stock works.
Yes of course, and excellent geological model is needed, bolstered by other Geo spatial data along plenty of high density drilling, followed by good grade control practises .
But, orogenics are eminently producable and at verg high margins, as the Good Lord when doling out gold deposits made sure that the small gold concentration index of orogenics were compensated by higher grades.
That is exactly the case with QWN.....exceptionally high grade gold is concentrated in just 4% of the volumes drilled.
But, highly detectable .
