Drill fences
Perhaps someone could advise that a Drill Fence is?

It is drilling a few holes usually from one location at different angles and bearings . Picture some shooting an arrow from one spot at different targets . Ie : left, right , up and down .

I think we will see one more two drills added very soon and continued drilling on the hinge zone . They have traced that zone for 500 m . Vein swarms hosting very high grade gold . Drill deep boys that’s where the honey is.

I believe in this case you have 14 holes in a row , think the top rung of a horizontal fence . And then under those you have another row, may be 100 meters below the top rung , but maybe it's 200 meters or 300 meters and on and on. It's a grid

They normally are used to delineate a block for a resource compilation but the distance needs to be less than 50 to 40 m to be compliant or more accurate, please corrected me if I am wrong. It’s a good way to cover a lot of ground and if they hit a high grade area they can zoom in on it with infill drilling. I am looking forwards to the results to be honest. GLA

The sept 30 nr talks about 14 drill fences and in fig 1 of that nr it shows the location of the drill fences. 1-3 drill holes per fence. Some are from the same set up and some step back to intersect deeper. Different bearings as well .

Everyone was right in one way or another. The fence they describe is basically an array of holes to target the zone from different set ups ( some holes from the same set up) . Not really a fence at all just a boat load of holes lol

Thanks a lot. We have a ton of money so I'm not concerned and I really believe it's only a matter of time that we tag into something that's quite extraordinary. Hope you all enjoy your day.

Instead of Newmont selling red lake could they not just buy the bear-Rimini deposit if it reaches surface and it is big enough, they have all the infrastructure to mill it as an open pit. It would be a lot cheaper than the underground operation they have there at the moment. It would give us a ton of cash to play with.
