Global, there is one major difference

31.56 g/t gold

 

Swan is the highest grade mineralized zone defined at Fosterville to date and contributes 588,915 ounces of gold at an average grade of 31.56 g/t gold (580,374 tonnes) to the updated December 31, 2022 mineral reserve estimate making up 35% of the total Fosterville mineral reserves.

The average grade at NFG will likely mean they have to mine multiple millions of ounces to achieve the same income.  IMHO.  No 2 ore bodies are the same.

You've got no clues about high-grade Eagle and ultra-high-grade Swan at Forsterville mine in the Australian State of Victoria, they are both dilations deep underground after Newmarket, the previous owner of Forsterville, had been mining underground for more than 2 decades. NFG has not found high-grade or ultra-high-grade gold dilations as yet. When and if we are going to find them, they could

SSwan. Fosterville 26 Aug 2020 — The mine poured 1Moz of gold by 2016 and achieved a total production of 1.77 million ounces (Moz) in 2018 and 619,366oz in 2019. In 2020, the operation produced a record 640,467 ounces of gold, Mineral Reserves as at December 31, 2020 totalled 1,970,000 ounces Fosterville: Production targeted at 400,000 - 425,000 ounces in 2021 and 325,000 - 400,000 ounces in both

The upper drill results were not what was suppose to be or remarkable, I can't now seem to be able retrieve them.

this is what I meant to insert. TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --   •  Infill drilling at Swan Zone (“Swan”) continues to return intercepts with extremely high grades, substantial widths and visible gold      -  Key intercepts: 289 g/t Au over 7.45 m (ETW 6.0

In terms of gram meters, these Swan Zone intercepts are about the same as those early top 11 intercepts provided for QWN . Confirmation that QWN is in the elite league with respect to its drilling success. Except, that these QWN high grade intercepts are found over a much much wider drilling area than the modest Swan Zone.

[alwil106]

Nozz if your calculations are correct of 14 million ounces for all the Keats and Iceberg zones, even if the area is about 3-4x greater than the Eagle and Swan zone the mineralisation footprint should be about the same.

[nozzpack]

Correct. Folks forget ..but which you have pointed out..that at December 31 of 2015...just before the Swan Zone was discovered underground , Fosterville had 2.8 m ounces in its MII categories at an average grade just above 4 grams per ton. This was fairly late in FV history of drilling and mining. QWN is just a few years into its gold district delineation , has only just penetrated its deeps

[alwil106]

I don't recall going back further than 2016 or anything about Fosterville had 2.8 m ounces in its MII categories at an average grade just above 4 grams per ton.

After coming across more ultra-high-grade drill results at the Swan zone over the weekend which I previously didn't realise was there, I have to concede that the Swan zone did have more ultra-higher-grade ounces than I first realised, that being said NFG with 440 holes with between 35g and 3761 g/m  over a far greater strike length could have a lot more ounces all be it at a lower grade

[alwil106]

Evenkeel123 You are massivley wrong. The Swan Zone is the highest-grade area of the Fosterville Mine, with a recently released mineral reserve including 532,000 ounces at an average grade of 58.8 g/t gold. https://resourceworld.com/kirkland-lake-gold-hits-australian-high-grade/

Everyone is nitpicking when it comes to comparing Appleton North to Fosterville.  They are both the same kind of orogenic deposits with the same potentials for very high grade gold.  The rest is a matter of drilling and development.  In those categories Fosterville is way ahead of Appleton North. NFG isn't receiving any love in this market, few juniors are.  The gold is

As the article says, it was 7 years ago. All that has been mined out. They are now mining 6 to 10 gas. Still very good
