Mothership Feeder Zone At FDP
These shallow dipping thick feeder zones could contain millions of ounces on their own.
It is mentioned in the FDP discovery that such a rich feeder zone would be occluded by the rock overburden , hence would be another blind discovery as was FDP.
It has occurred to me that the regular spaced drilling program currently underway at FDP might not be exclusively for resource estimation but could contain also as another objective, a search for the feeder zone.
This is pure speculation on my part but such mothership lodes can add millions of ounces to gold reserves within , say, a 100 meter area of very thick very high grade gold.
It need not be restated that we are very early in the discovery stage at Lavras, and that new unexpected discoveries always crop up such as the Swan Zone of
Fosterville which at 1 ounce per ton, was worth many billions when produced.

Is the 150 m Extension you're talking about close the gap between FDP and Butia? I only remember approximately 65 m of extension on Butia. Unfortunately, I don't even know if that is extended between Butia and FDP? I suspect you are correct for additional allowances coming from FDP

It's 150 meters .. Fazenda do Posto is 150 metres west of the Buti Gold Deposit, which has an NI 43-101 gold resource of approximately 500,000 ounces.
