As far as what today's announcement/results mean for RGLD...
They stated in the nr that they drilled two holes 575 m NW of BR Zone, and that the geology is complex and unlike elsewhere on the property and will need further drilling to evaluate the area. It's worth noting that Whirlwind Jack is approximately 10 km NW of the BR Zone, so lots of work to be done, interpretation, etc. See below.
"Two drill holes were completed 575 metres to the northwest of the Bear-Rimini Discovery area. While the gold mineralized system clearly continues into this area, the main target marker unit was not intersected. Alternating mafic and felsic units were intersected in this area in an arrangement not seen in other locations drilled along the LP fault. The units may be complexly infolded, or the LP fault may contain tectonic delaminations of the surrounding units, including the hanging wall mafic lithologies.
More drilling is required in order to locate the key marker unit and further evaluate the gold potential of the area.
Follow-up drilling will be undertaken both between this section and the Bear-Rimini Discovery area and farther to the northwest along the LP fault as the drill program proceeds."
