FYI...In order to upgrade all inferred and indicated resources to measured resources in a deposit takes a lot of diamond drill holes. Holes spaced approximately 10m apart in the same quartz belt is sufficient to generate measured resources.
As an example, back in the 1980, I drilled 100 underground holes over 100m at Goldboro. 10 holes per station in a fan pattern from the center of the deposit. The resulting resources were the first measured resources reported at Goldboro.
Given that pits 1 and 2 are 1.5 kms long, you do the math to figure out how many holes are required to report measured resources... A LOT...not to mention there are probably 70+ quartz belts.
The more measured resouce you can report, the better as anyone financing any deposit will look way more favorably on measures resources as opposed to indicated or inferred.
The more measured resources the better the mining plan will be and estimates for numbers of ounces to be produced in the mill...ta gotta drill a LOT of holes to make a mine...look at any other producer...look at New Found Gold and how many hundreds of thousands of meters they drilled thus far and are NOT in production yet...CBX at Valentine in NFLD...lots n lots of holes to make a mine
