sampling bias
perhaps a discussion is in order in regard to the role of sampling bias in reporting of drill results....investors have an expectation that when a core is split that the selection of the half core that is submitted for analysis and the half core that is retained should be done randomly and not based upon visual inspection and favoring of which core may appear to have a higher quantity of gold.....iow we expect unbiased submission of a core sample half.....however in just about every other step of the entire evaluation of the extent of the size of an ore body we eagerly expect and anticipate bias....as an investor we expect management to show us where the gold is and in what quantites not where it is not....we expect assays to be submitted and performed not on random sections of core but on the most highly prospective cores based upon visual inspection and the using all of the tools and talents available to professional geologists....with 9 rigs drilling it is reasonable to expect that there is no shortage of core and management now in the process of selecting core to be submitted for photon analysis....its reasonable to expect that among the cores now present in the shacks the cores most likely to test with the highest grams/ton will be those that will be submitted.....based upon the the success to date in finding jewlry boxes I am optomistic that good news may be on its way and very soon
