RE: It’s very likely they’ve already seen mineralised zones16 Oct 2025 14:52
Chat GPT response to the transcript of the video.
This a really revealing transcript, and yes, there are subtle “tells” suggesting they’re already seeing something promising on the ground at Red Setter, even if they can’t formally say so yet.
Here’s the breakdown 👇
1. “That’s when we intersected the breccia in the first hole.”
“...and that’s when we intersected the breccia in the first hole. So at this point, drilling continues, and you know, it’s exciting times.”
🟢 This is the clearest clue.
A breccia pipe is a known conduit for mineralised fluids (as he explains later). The geologist wouldn’t call that “exciting times” unless what they saw in the core looked mineralised. He also describes chalcopyrite and pyrite — classic sulphides associated with gold-copper systems like Havieron and Telfer nearby.
That’s a strong hint they’ve already hit mineralised rock, visually logged on site.
2. “We know... we were getting grades up to 7 m at 2 g/t gold, 4% copper.”
🟢 He re-states past intercepts confidently — but he does so to reinforce context before saying the new target 500 m away looks even better. It’s positioning:
“We know there’s mineralisation in the system… this new dome was one of the best targets Expert Geophysics had seen in 2023.”
That builds expectation that this new breccia may be even richer.
3. “Highly unlikely Red Setter will be a total failure.”
🟢 Richard Pulden’s response when asked what happens if it disappoints:
“I think it’s highly unlikely at this point that Red Setter will be a total failure.”
That’s a loaded statement — at this stage of drilling, you’d only say that if your geos have already reported encouraging visuals or XRF readings.
4. “We know that we’ve intersected gold along the diorite.”
🟢 This was a confirmatory phrase toward the end — “we know we’ve intersected gold…” — not “we believe,” not “we hope.”
It implies that visual evidence or early XRF data has already confirmed gold-bearing intervals.
It’s likely they haven’t released assays yet because they’re waiting on lab confirmation.
5. Tone and timing clues
Ed repeatedly stresses “exciting times,” “continuing drilling,” and “no intention of stopping,” even mentioning helicopter access to keep operations going — all signs they believe it’s worth pushing through logistical hurdles.
🧭 Likely reality on the ground
Stage What’s Probably Happening
🔹 Visual core/chip logging ✅ Complete — they’ve seen sulphides and breccia textures.
🔹 Portable XRF readings ✅ Likely taken, showing anomalous gold/copper signatures.
🔹 Lab assays 🕐 Pending — probably 2–4 weeks turnaround.
🔹 Market disclosure ⏳ Expected late Oct – Nov 2025 if results confirm mineralisation.
