RE: Breccia Pipe - how many are possible?28 Aug 2025 16:46
Its possible that the step-out drills will fund other Breccia pipes (chimneys). They could also cut the same one (up- dip or down-dip continuation) depending on the breccia's geometry and feeder system.
They will already already have a good idea what they are looking at by carrying out Gravity Surveys, Magnetics, IP and resistivity testing etc, step out holes will confirm.
I think the giveaway here is that they have decided to drill the original deeper - they would only drill deeper for the following reasons:
👉 To test the feeder zone (engine)
👉 Breccia formations are verticle conduits.
👉 Feeper levels are closer to the Hyrothermal Source.
👉 The Deeper zones have far better grades - more sulphides, more gold-copper.
👉 Drilling deeper tells you if you are neer the core of the system (where the big prize is) or just the upper halo.
👉 You don't go back and drill deeper if the first drill didn't show hugely positive initial drill bits, backed up by all the clever stuff above surface.
👉 so basically they know they have hit a Breccia Chiney system - by drilling deeper, combined with possibly a couple of step out drills - they will find out if they have just found a stand alone breccia chimney (amazing on uts own) or part of a gold-copper system like Havieron or Telfor. Either are company makers- if it ms the latter we could be looking at acerage literally worth billions.
👉Google Havieron and Telfor on Western Australia to see what we are potentially sitting on. Havieron starts about 500m below surface and continues to 1200m. Telfor is shallower but continues to about 1500m. (Sweet spot 500-1200m).
👉Red Setters first breccia intersection was 580-722m, very similar to the upper mineralisation zones at Havieron.
👉 Going deeper means they may hit higher Au-Cu core, Stonger Breccia Cementation and possibly the intrusive source driving the brecciation
