I did not say ..." How does drilling HQ core mean that the zones would be 3 times longer if they used NQ drill core? " The point I did make was that extrapolating QWN7 from , say , a 50 mm dia core to a 89 mm dia core used in QWN7 under estimates the volume of rock sampled sampled per meter in QWN7. The assumption is equivalency..

It absolutely does not under estimate the volume? Every sampled is weighed prior to any assay method. It's irrelevant if you're drilling AQ-BQ-NQ or HQ. There's a minimum sample weight that needs to be met in order to do assays and that's it.

Not grade but sampling rate. A 40 mm drill samples less volume than a 60 mm drill core

Why do I have the feeling that you do not understand the whole concept. You state that a larger diameter core does not give a more representative sample. Of course it does, not necessarily different,, but definitely more representative. Why not just explain what they mean by true width. Do you even know? I really question your explogeo, as if it means something.

Explogeo is clueless. Ignore..

Stop wasting our time with your flawed unresearched statements. I own KRR with a market cap of $1.15 Billion and just 3.2 million ounces in its M & I gold resources. Want more examples ? explogeo said.. " You can't have a 700-800 million MC without have a minimum of 5 million ECONOMICAL ounces of high grade gold "

You cannot compare market caps of a producer like KRR and an explorer like NFG. They're 2 vastly different things at the end of the day, one makes money, the other one burns money.

One has a depleting asset (the producer) and one has a growing asset ( the exploration company)

explogeo You say that you've had 10 years experience as a geologist, Eric sprott has world class geologists at his disposal with combined 100s years experience, as an accountant he has a different perspective to geologists, listen to what he has to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZQ58B_ygcU

Thank you. very inspiring , a confirmation of just how profitable those 7 or so near surface high grade deposits will be when placed into production. Let there be no doubt . Uncle Eric wants mining monetization , not a cheap sale

You are correct. Drillng angles are both for search efficiency and quite often in shallow depths . This is standard operating common sense. At least NFG attaches such a statement to its drill results, unlike most.
