RE: Tertiary Minerals OFFICIALLY REPLIES on Twitter & Re-tweets Q & A for all investors to see what was on this forum dated 30.4.24.2 May 2024 20:13
Two people on Twitter have already asked TYM whether they use BOX SCAN to do XRF on the cores. Newcrest's rig is state of art and it can do continuous reading of core grades etc as it goes down. It was in the Newcrest financials. As for Box Scan, I am not familiar with it. However, I will provide a link to RINCON of Australia on Twitter and how they utilise Box Scan. The link is: https://twitter.com/RinconResources/status/1775366013833638332 3.4.24 . If you look at the pic of the core shed, they are using Boxscan & lithogeochem on the cores in trays. One will NOTE that some of the cores are BROKEN in half and they are ARRANGED such that they stand up partially. TO SCAN using XRF, the core MUST BE BROKEN in half or in parts as seen - theory 101. For this reason, I magnified the 24.4.24 TYM pic of Mr Cheetham kneeling down with partners over 3 Konkola West DRILL CORES. If one looks at the pic of Mr Cheetham in the core shed with staff of 25.4.24, one can see some of the CORES are broken per theory 101. One can only do XRF on copper but GOLD must be assayed per the rule. So, Kinkola West is NOT a gold project. As for the drill, I recall that it is a NEW RIG from Korea so I dont think it is state of art to do XRF continuously. I dont think that asking a 2nd time will elicit a reply because it is norm that Kobold the operator is not ready to give out those details yet. But it is good of TYM to give us an update on Konkola West today with the SIGNIFICANCE that 300m has been reached today , hence the LOWER ROAN formation has been hit.
If one see the Stratigraphic Drill of the Lower & Upper Roan, it appears that 133-150m is the 1st section and then 150-300m. The chart that one see one has to gauge the depth so that is the rough depth. Then, it goes from the 300m to 1,000m and usually, they overshoot to see if mineralisation etc for END OF HOLE results. Exciting yes and maybe too exciting for me. Another person has asked TYM to see more pics and I think everyone has covered all the ground to ask. But Mr Cheetham in particular is very good in that where a general question is asked, he will answer knowing that KOBOLD has done "interpretation of GEOPHYSICS" but here on this forum, it was INCORRECT that none were done and that we are all wishful dreamers kinda of thing. So, TYM is officially setting FACTS right. Also, if drilling is going to 1800-2000m 1st hole, we could be waiting for ever kind of thing. Here's hoping for the best given what TYM RNS ,2.5.24 stated about "TRANSFORMATION" potential reference to results at Kinkola. In today's TYM RNS, Zambia licences were described as "EXCITING" and licences are in plural. So, NOT a 1 horse race. Mr Colin Bird, at AFP put out a new RNS and he is looking for MORE ZAMBIAN LICENCES due to the HOT exploration ground in Zambia and P.Cheetham in his presentations said co's "SCRAMBLING" for licences. Nice. Just came back to post some good news from TYM via Twitter.
