Hi Bamps :))
This is for you from the Commentary
“ All drillhole samples were composited to 2 metre intervals downhole and honouring the domain boundary. Ordinary Kriging (OK) of gold, copper, , bismuth, arsenic, lead, zinc and nickel were undertaken into 10 m x 10 m x 10 m blocks in a single pass run using a discretisation of 4 x 4 x 4. Sulphur, iron and cobalt were estimated by Co-Kriging (CK).The minimum and maximum number of informing composites were 10 and 20 to 24 respectively, depending on the domain and variable being estimated. Due to highly skewed nature of the grade distribution, a grade capping strategy has been applied for all variables including Au, Cu, S, Fe, Co, Bi, As, Pb, Zn and Ni. Caps are typically around the value at a 99th percentile of distributions. Restricted projection was also used in some domain / variable combinations to further reduce over projection of outlier grades. The model grades were estimated in Isatis software. Gold and copper were the only revenue generating elements, no recovery of by-products has been assumed. Variables were estimated independently. The block size was chosen on the basis of estimation quality and likely scale of mining.”
They use a Kriging method to put boundaries between minerals and they have been too variable to achieve so cut offs for these other minerals apart from Gold and copper have not passed the cut off grades.
It doesn’t mean that there not there only sample testing the ore will confirm this.
Note there is no silver
