2012 PEA 14,000,000 - million tonnes ( m + i )
446,649,000 - million tonnes ( inferred )
55,000 m - total - 702 holes
516
boreholes -
underground (
east - ug mine )
3 boreholes - underground ( west - ug mine )
80 surface holes (
east )
70 surface holes ( west )
Not all 55,000 meters were ug
would need stats breakdown - easiest referral = 2015 ug meters
assuming all 2012 ug bore holes were carried over into 2015 ug meterage.
2015 PEA 329, 000,000 million tonnes ( indicated )
846,000,000 million tonnes ( inferred )
547 holes - 30,593 m
underground 229 holes - 38,304 m
surface ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on press / pea readings
2011 - 2015 crews wanted to tie in east to west
drilling out central Though 2.5 km was drill tested... East to Central ( 1250m ) became a focal with ug mine
- 2012 - Not all 55,000 meters were underground
- 2015 - Provides insight to underground meters + # of holes
- 2015 - stats are important since ( 329 m t + 846 mt inferred ) were categorized
THERORY 2011 - 2015
One has to assume the original 2012 - 446,649,000 - million tonnes ( inferred )
would be targeted first - easiest to bump up to, indicated.
Twinned holes underground / etc
Reassaying
Downhole geophysics
Contraire side ? 2012 - 446,649,000 - million tonnes ( inferred )
stayed inferred ( assaying, twinning, geophysics ) made compliant
2015 - 547 holes - 30,593 m
underground = 446,649,000 - million tonnes inferred
2015 - Leaving - 229 surface holes - 38,304 m - to achieve
329,000,000 m ( indicated )
400,000,000 m ( inferred ) East to Central to West
Issue ?
how can 329 mt produce 400 mt inferred ?
top end to short on meterage
there is only one to produce greater inferred tonnage using same holes
= stepout holes away from core indicated deposit
=
johnson's 756 m hole stepout would do it wonderfully freudian image slip ? johnson's hole placed outside pitshell - lol ( what was on they're mind )
It's then one could pair...
329 mt indicated holes
with 329 mt inferred =
same surface holes = 38,304 m
2012 - 446,649,000 - million tonnes ( inferred ) underground
2015 - 329,000,000 - million tonnes ( inferred ) surface
What's missing to achieve 846 million tonnes inferred ?
= 70,351,000 m
Two 600m intercept holes stepped out 200m away from core inferred
Two holes 200m apart allows a bookend
200m L x 200m W x 600m D x 2.7
= 64,800,000 mt ( pretty close ) Let's ask the question...
how much meterage does johnson's hole tap into benieth - ug mine ) ?
my overlay image has it at - 365m extra meters deep - below rinky d pea pitshell.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53597567652_fc61536a22_z.jpg can see the grid scale ^ ^
365m below small pit x 200m east headed west x 500m width j hole to mine x 2.7
=
98,550,000 mt ( interesting )
Thought i'd share a few thoughts.
Why ?
If ever there were larger interests... more tonnage = better for shareholders.
Corrections
- Galactics 16k+ meters are accounted for if one combines All North's
- Former post 2012's - 55,000 m is not all underground ) revised with in this post.
Cheers... Images that show twinng of deep holes ? Expand images to see drill lines nearly touching = twinned.
