This is why I'm looking forward to the drilling. From their previous results:
"During late Q4-2022 and H1-2023, the Company completed 1:15,000 scale mapping (lithology and regolith) and rock-chip sampling over a c.48km2 area at Mbe to help constrain the source of the gold anomalism. A total of 76 rock-chip samples (including QAQC) were taken over selective outcrops, predominantly quartz veins, within a 3km-long geological zone that is up to 700m-wide. The zone is underlain by a northeast to north-northeast trending, shear-related porphyritic unit (provisionally recorded as quartz-feldspar-porphyry (‘QFP’)) that is highly altered along its central core and is silicified and gold-mineralised. Results of up to 134.10 g/t Au were returned from sulphide-rich and locally brecciated quartz veins that occur within or at the contact of pervasively altered (albite, silica and carbonate) and sulphide-rich QFP.
In December 2023, BCM completed a three-week long site visit to Mbe and collected a further 639 samples over the 3km-long zone, each weighing 2-5 kilograms. Of these, 542 samples were collected from pits (5-10 metres deep and exclusively dug by artisanal miners) and 97 samples were collected from outcropping rocks. All of the pit samples were collected from in-situ (weathered saprolite or saprock) material, with composite channel-chip sampling being applied over the exposed pit wall (and perpendicular to the dominant vein set, where apparent) to ensure sample representivity. Results returned 155 samples grading ≥1 g/t Au, 13 of which have graded ≥10 g/t Au. Of these higher-grading samples, best results include 256.74 g/t, 133.44 g/t, 75.09 g/t, 33.66 g/t and 22.89 g/t Au from outcrop sampling, and 25.16 g/t, 23.97 g/t, 9.98 g/t, and 8.75 g/t Au from pit sampling. A further 232 samples graded between 0.20 and 0.99 g/t Au."
Let this point sink in. Bonanza grades in the rocks at surface with a colossal area to explore. The potential is bat5hit bonkers!
