More Gold?
As of July 6, 22 holes have been drilled for a total of 1200m. That's an average of 55m per hole. Very shallow, but they're getting a handle on dip and width of the quartz veins. 12 holes have been logged and 8 of those holes had visible gold. By now, I would assume that the other 10 holes have been logged. So how many of these other holes have visible gold in them? If they have visible gold on surface, could that mean that 'visible' gold is continuous down dip to the point of intersection of quartz veins in each hole?
Logging of core will also give them an idea of other minerals that are important as an accessory mineral with gold in this area, such as antimony, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite.
These are interesting times!!

Ryan is probably right: "deeper soil samples are far more accurate in determining what lies underneath in the bedrock". Knowing the number of ice directions probably helps too. The bottom layer will be the first to move the gold at the surface. I always liked the MMI soil survey, because of the vertical movement of the metal ions through all the layers of soil.
