BBM has all the Markings of a Tier 1 discoveryThe reasons.
1...part of a 8 km long of auriferous gold in soil and termitaria 2...
Drilling completed to date has consistently confirmed strong grade continuity within the distinct silica-biotite alteration system.
3...The fold model suggests the potential for parallel higher-grade shoots within a core zone of robust mineralization that now exceeds 600m in length with an open vertical depth of 330m, true widths of the mineralized envelope are up to 50m.
4..Mineralization also remains open outside the BBM discovery zone, with potential for other plunging shoots within the initial 2 km discovery as well as satellite discoveries along strike.
So let's see how much gold May already have been defined in the current drill defined zone which measures 600 m by 330 m by 50 m wide.
SG is 2.8 tons per cu m.
So, we have 600 X 330 m X 50 X 2.8 = 26 million tons
Average grade is 3 grams per ton = 78 million grams
With 1 ounce = 31 grams, discovered ounces in just this small drill defined zone today is in the 2.5 million ounce range.
This zone is just 600 meters along a 8 km long auriferous zone of gold in soil that has identified and drill confirmed the existence of deep continous gold mineralization that remains open at depth.
In short, with more assays to come, we could have a rapid run up the charts should drilling continue to confirm that gold in soil is an excellent marker for high grade gold lodes beneath that soil.
