The historical NCM data on the 4 targets Outamind, Prefect, Atlantis and Havieron from 1991 and 95 has put doubts in my mind over what they might find.
Reasons to temper my enthusiasm:-
Outamind and Prefect hit the magnetic source with no obvious mineralisation according to the report. The magnetics at Outamind look weak apart from one spot.
On these 2 targets though the assays showed low levels of alteration minerals.
Also the drills were not deep enough or aimed in the right direction.
Atlantis is different they drilled in right place and in the right direction and found good copper readings 2100ppm but again they didn't drill deep enough.
All 4 targets had assay results very similar in the cover and into the magnetic anomaly i.e. weak alteration values.
When compared to The Scallywag alteration they're nowhere near as good.
Outamind has 480m of cover it caused all sorts of problems for the drills , gravity surveys and downhole logging.
Prefect and Atlantis have about 90m of cover.
Goliath looks different, I've not seen the drill data but the survey models do not look like lithologies.
There looks to be a magnetic intrusion coming up through the gravity anomaly from 1200m up to 200m.
The drilling is targeting this intrusion, it's contour volume indicates about 2.1bn tons so 4 x Havieron.
In 1995 they knew Havieron was there but the technology was not advanced enough to tell them where, so they went looking for shallower stuff and didn't find any.
New survey techniques and vectoring have come to Ggp's assistance.
I'm still hoping enthusiastically that Goliath will be the one but am tempering it a bit and not hopeful for the other 3.
