FillToSpill,
The 2022 holes didn't drill above Red Setter Dome, they drilled to the north east of it targeting a different feature at that time, yes they got some reasonable results for a 1st drilling campaign there, but it had nothing to do with Red Setter Dome.
If you wanted to highlight something from the RNS's then you should have highlighted this .....
From 11th August 7am RNS most likely written on the 8th of August!
"Observed changes in bedding of the host rock, quartz-carbonate veining and sulphides of chalcopyrite and pyrite within zones down the hole, are very positive indicators. Overall, these suggest we are peripheral to the main hinge target, and a new hole will now be collared to the south-west of the current hole to focus on what is now thought to be the centre of the domal structure. This will be some 50-75 metres from the current drill hole.
Drilling is planned to test the current hole further to a depth of around 630 metres before shifting to the new hole.
Ed Mead, Wishbone Gold WA director, commented; "Seeing the quartz-carbonate veining and sulphides at the expected target depth is highly encouraging at this early stage of the drill program. Progress has been a little slower than originally expected due to the drill rig only drilling on day shift, however, processing of core on site and geological and structural logging is giving us real time information on the domal structural we are successfully targeting. This means that we are seeing the significant changes in the bedding of the host rock as we approached the 550m target depth, indicating folds associated with a dome. The zones of significant quartz-carbonate veining seen indicates the presence of hydrothermal fluids often associated with mineralisation. Chalcopyrite (copper sulphide), as blebs in the veining and within fractures, and some bleaching/alteration within the drill core is also seen as highly encouraging. Drilling continues."
They had just got as deep as the Breccia Pipe at @ 570M but didn't even know it was a confirmed Breccia Pipe at that stage, yet knew they need to drill a brand new hole because the geology in the cores was already telling them that !!!
