Good and the bad with the drill results. Good is obvious
great width and grade (for an open pit) on the three holdes 40/46/48. The bad news is the pay zones are very deep. starting at 271, 341, and 361 meters below surface. Also of note, their were several holds between holes 040 and 046 that didn't have the wide zones of pay. So it seems the zone isn't continues between 40 and 46 which might eliminate an open pit senerior, as you are talking about moving hundreds of meters of overburden. So, would it be amenable to an underground block cave operation?
In short, if it was near surface and if it was contnous from holes 046 to 040 it would have been stellar, but given the depth and the lack of a continuous wide payzone fro 046 to 040, I am not as enthused, as I was on the headline results.
Any intelligent replys welcome.

Not enough drill holes yet to draw to many conclusion other than these results indicate there will be more to be found deeper and laterally. You do not these good a result without there being more.
