RE: to be noted in last release...Good Info, Player 15. Whilst I agree that "channel sampling is an effective method of evaluation of the mineralization" and would go further and state that it is also usually the most cost effective method in the exploration arsenal of the company, I take issue with the inference that all sample intervals be reported as true widths. This would only be true if the dip of the ore body is vertical. For sub-vertical ore zones the width of the cut would be longer than true width.
More important than this is the statement that the channel sampling "involves taking a consistent cut across the rock exposure without favour to advantageous-looking rock". This will depend on the integrity and competence of the saw operator and the supervision of the operator. I believe HLM is fortunate in having competent, professional and ethical leadership on site in the person of Graham Anthony.
Remember also that proper channel sampling will only give information in 2 dimensions. We need drilling to give us the info in the third dimension. I am sure Graham has/is already formulating plans for a proper drilling program and the adequate financing of the program.
