The GGP RNS of 1 Oct 2018 forms the LAST definitive info on Haverion.
Then, all of a sudden, out of the blue, an unexpected RNS relating to the appointment of Clive Latcham who is such a heavy hitter as "Ex-Copper Chief of Rio [Mining Journal]" .
So, the preceeding RNS will be definitive in that the results of HAD1 & HAD5 are pointed out in the GGP RNS.
Therefore, those drilling results as quoted by GGP form the definitive.
In themselves it has no meaning. However, prior to the said RNS, it has been benchmarked against Rio*s rumoured copper and gold find in Paterson + all the other Aussie junior explorers at Paterson. This includes Telfer mine historic indicative early results.
One has to logically summise that Clive Latcham would have had seen the GGP RNS, especially that of 1 Oct 2018.
Relating to the GGP drilling results of HAD5 which was double of HAD1, one has to look at other BENCHMARKS of "massive chalcopyrite" to see the INTERSECTIONS LENGTHS, MINERALS & GRADES.
Ideally, 3 examples need to be looked at to get a balance.
In addition, an academic paper would also help to lend to the 3.
Otherwise, when the results come out, one is not sure what one is looking at ie an idea.
Hence, the data is given as they are from my research notes.
I have another example but I have not posted due to lack of time last night.
Not editing this posting with eyestrain.

Comment:
When the GGP 1 Oct 2018 RNS came out, investors did not under what is "VISUAL mineralisation." I have already posted re: Rio-Paterson Province {140m of visual mineralisation} which is the same term used.
Investors may also not be familar with the word "M A S S I V E pyrite, CHALCOPYRITE, PYRRHOTITE and vein quart.." from the same said RNS.
So, one can see from OLYMPIC DAM {GGP website on Paterson www.greatlandgold.com/paterson/ mentions Olympic Dam] & VOISEY BAY, they use the geo word "MASSIVE" and in the case of Voisey Bay "SEMI MASSIVE TO MASSIVE" in the said description.
Please note that until CONFIRMED by assay results expected 6 wks from 1 Oct 2018, one is unable to determine grades etc.
However, just to illustrate the term "Massive" which was also used in the academic paper on Voisey Bay. I have other examples but may post when I have more time.
Thur, 18 Oct 2018. Please check. DYOR. IMHO. Just a discussion and general info.

Part 2 [In conjunction with Part 1-Click Reply and one can refer as it is within this thread].
***VOISEY BAY*****
"The tale of one of the most LEGENDARY DISCOVERIES in junior mineral exploration"
-The 2 prospectors sampled throughout the summer of 1993 without much luck but they did Chip some SAMPLES of C H A L C O P Y R I T E, a COPPER bearing mineral from an outcrop."
"The samples came back with -------2% COPPER------"
"At this time, Diamond Fields was a FLEDGING Co. In Aug 1994, the prospectors received more DETAILED ASSAYS from the samples they collected - assays that CONFIRMED a Multi-Element deposit with cobaltite, COPPER, magnetite and EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH amounts of NICKEL." [My Comment: Posted about Olympic Dam:107m at 2%Copper-Govt of South Australia. Just thought I would remind about 2% copper grade]
"On drill HOLE NO 2 they HIT...the drill core was YELLOW. Not from gold but from high grade MASSIVE sulphides."
[See picture shown]
"After the SECOND drill hole at Voisey Bay -----HIT 33 METRES -----of MASSIVE SULPHIDES, it was clear Diamond Fields was onto something."
--Part II-The Auction--
"At this point,Robert Friedland reigned in control of the co with one mission : to AUCTION OFF THE DISCOVERY for the HIGHEST PRICE."
"The Assays for -----33METRES MASSIVE Sulphide hit came in:
---2.23% N I C K E L
---1.47% C O P P E R
---0.123% CO B A L T
"UP TO HOLE 6: N O T H I N G."
"RESULTS FOR HOLE 7 & 8 RELEASED:
Hole 7 returned--------104METRES of M A S S I V E sulphide and FOUND the Ovoid.
- 3.9% N I C K E L
-2.8% C O P P E R
-0.14% COBALT
Hole 8:-------111METRES in ovoid
-3.79% N I C K E L
-2.78% C O P P E R
-0.13% COBALT
"More nickel from Ovoid came in EVERY MONTH and the stock price continued to rise. At this point, Diamond Fields could NO longer fly under the radar. MAJOR MINING co*s could NO longer stand to watch as ONE of the greatest base metal deposits blossomed OUTSIDE their influence."
"THE BIDDING- INCO $31 per share at $3.5 BILLION, FALCONBRIDGE $36 at $4 BILLION. Finally INCO announced a TAKEOVER BID of $43.50 or $174 PRE-SPLIT."
"Today, the project is owned by Vale and it is ONE of the LARGEST NICKEL MINES in the world."
CHART: "Diamond Fields Nov 1994 share price was $4.65."

Well done news... keep it up
Facts and dates help us make good choices when investing!
re: Haverion and Clive Latcham NED - Ex-Rio Copper Chief respectively.
TIMELINES from above:
1) Haverion Hole 5 initial result.
Assays sent to the lab: Expected up to 6 weeks = 14 Nov 2018 or thereabouts?
2)Haverion Hole 6 started.
2nd phasing drilling 10 Holes but deeper at 800m?
BENCHMARK
I happen to notice on Twit the very recent results of an Irish co drill results as follows:
26 Feb 2018-1st drill hole result
------------------------------------------
30 Apr 2018 -FURTHER 3 holes and results. [2 mths later]h
18 June 2018-Further Intercepts
11 July 2018 -High grade discovery.
Comment:
Current discussion relating to news. From just one benchmark example, it would appear some co*s do NOT report every hole as investors may like. Others can check other co*s. However, of importance will be the forthcoming assays of Hole 5.
Please check. Just a discussion. IMHO.
