LOTM, appreciate the research - I'm a minerals novice, so asked GPT to translate it for me to ley speak.... This is what it said
Drilling a new hole southwest (SW) of previous holes helps to better understand the shape and position of underground rock features called the “hinge” and “breccia pipe” (important for finding valuable minerals).
New Hole Path: The new hole starts 20 meters SW of earlier holes and moves gradually further away as it goes deeper—reaching about 75 meters SW at 550 meters deep.
What This Tells Us: Where the new hole hits the hinge compared to previous holes will show whether the hinge gets shallower or deeper toward the SW. This helps map the structure and decide where to drill next.
If the hinge is hit sooner, it rises SW; if later, it dips SW.
Breccia Pipe: Moving the hole SW should get closer to the center of the breccia pipe (where more valuable minerals may be found).
Expect to find breccia (broken rock with mineralization) earlier and for a longer interval, with more copper minerals and stronger geophysical signals.
Action Points: Carefully note depths where key features are encountered. This data will help refine the 3D model and guide future drilling for best results.
In short, this new hole is a strategic step to target richer parts of the mineral deposit more accurately.
