There are now a couple of photos on CEO showing hole 05 from 254-257 m and hole 21 from 295-298 m.  From the map both holes are going through the Hercules rhyolite.  The sections are at a similar depth and look a lot alike.  There does appear to be Biotite in hole 21 but I'm not prepared to call anything a potassic zone without further evidence.

There's without a doubt shreddy biotite in the core. It's classic potassic alteration.

All of that veining might have introduced potassium (Biotite/Phlogopite) into the rock prior to the main mineralizing event.  I'm not rushing to judgement.  Chalcopyrite and Bornite were the supergene minerals of hole 05.  This is rare but not unheard of. The odds of them hitting a potassic core with a blind hole is low.  I'm guessing that they are still in the

These holes are too high up in the system. Need to wait for Hole 8 results before buying more..

It's not too high if you are in bornite and potassic alteration. Also the system has post mineral tilting.

I'm not rushing to judgement based on one incomplete drill hole and ten feet of visual observations of another drill hole.  This story will unfold one drill hole at a time.

Agreed, as much as I want to indulge in the excitement I'm not going to bet the house on 3 meters of core. Will have to wait for the assay results before I get excited (or not). My last purchase was filled at 1.11 CAD. I have no intention of investing further until at least 2 more borehole assay results are released.
