Additional mineral potential!

This is old news but the upside for ounces is huge.

This is from the May 12th release on Sedars:

"The infill drill spacing was tight enough so that

the majority of the deep resource expansion at Masato could be categorized as indicated

resources. As a result, OJVG has successfully outlined 721,460 ounces of indicated gold

resources below 2010 Feasibility Study open pit at a grade of 2.1 g/t gold."

That is a lot of gold at a really good grade for that amount.  Notice that they mention INDICATED GOLD RESORCES.

Also from Sedars in the same release:


"At the OJVG’s three largest deposits, the current 0.3 g/t gold grade shell solids extend to an

average depth of only 350 metres below surface. To date, the Golouma (Golouma West and

Golouma South), Kerekounda and Masato deposits have now been successfully intersected at

depths of 900 metres, 560 metres, 490 metres and 565 metres respectively, and all remain open

to depth. (See attached representation of the Golouma Deposit-South deep drilling results to

date). Although insufficient drilling has been conducted to allow classification of this mineral

potential as a resource, the OJVG has targeted these contiguous extensions to the known deposits

with their current drill program and estimated the potential quantity of gold mineralization

beneath the current resource estimates. These deeper potential zones of mineralization have been

defined by extending the known dimensions of the 1.0 g/t gold resource grade shell solids down

dip to a minimum of 675 metres and a maximum of 1000 metres below surface. It should be

recognized that the zones listed have been intersected by multiple drill holes, are areas where

current knowledge of mineralization is sufficient to indicate that these zones are economically

viable, and only represent the down dip potential of the listed deposits. The table below lists the

potential of each of these zones. There are numerous additional targets within the OJVG Gold

Project, including the recent discoveries, that are not included in the list below."

ditional Mineral Potential at Golouma, Kerekounda and Masato.

Deposit                Tonnage Range (Kt)      Grade Range Au (g/t)

Golouma               12,000 to 24,000                  3 to 5

Kerekounda            2,000 to 3,500                    5 to 6

Masato                 10,000 to 20,000                 1 to 1.5

Most of  the juniors have been getting drilled (pun intended) lately.  I guess I am just trying to come up with some positive numbers here, but.....as it says up there.   

"It should be recognized that the zones listed have been intersected by multiple drill holes, are areas where

current knowledge of mineralization is sufficient to indicate that these zones are economically

viable, and only represent the down dip potential of the listed deposits."

EVEN HALF OF THAT WOULD BE HUGE!!

As I said a couple of weeks ago, this is going to be a long drawn out process of more drilling and more waiting because I do not think that Chet has been offered anything close to what he believes this concession is worth. 

We are just about due for some of our monthly seemingly irrelevant drill results.  Sorry about the rambling but I just wanted to vent and hope you guys have some comments!

Thanks,  Tony

Tony-----Bottom Line is there is in excess of NINE MILLION OUNCES in this concession even though not yet 43-101 compliant....Chet will not let this concession go at todays ridiculous  low share prices bid even if he has to finance another ten to fifteen million shares at $1 to keep him going until August or Nov 2012 to help demonstrate....I have been continually ...more
