RE: "Wishbone Gold intersected a significant MINERALISED breccia pipe."-A.T.11 Sep 2025 22:39
YES, aware some know but some dont, so just to let folks have a think before RNS it out.
To answer some question/s:
[1] The Expert Geophysics modelling did show to 1,000m although SP Angel said 2,000m from recall. However, the usual is to 1,200m area in many cases.
[2] Hole Red Setter's initial target was to 550m [hole deepening from 300m]. It is usual practice to overshoot the 500m and then do END OF HOLE analysis.
[3] Wishbone not only continued from 550m but deepened to 630m. Why? END of Hole data did NOT end is the theory. So, they decided to go to 750m and again, they overshot to look at end of hole analysis.
[4] Drilling is normally not done at the SWEET SPOT or CENTER of the project. Why? That is the practice to drill the edge and move in to the center.
[5] Why did WSBN move to HOLE 2? There is NO point going back immediately to Hole 1 to deepen further from 777m due to having tested the modelling. They will do so at a later date per the RNS.
[6] Why start on Hole 2? To test the model etc.
[7] How many more holes to be drilled. Depending on the SPACING , it is normal to show C O N T I N U I T Y to some 350m. So, IF, the spacing is 50m , that means 7 HOLES. In the case of Greatland, the 1st phase of drilling was 5 HOLES with the best hole at Hole 5 and from recall they did another 4 more holes. NO MORE HOLES WERE DRILLED as CONTINUITY was proved of 350m. Then, silence at Greatland with many saying its not good enough even though industry rang Gervaise Heddle, the CEO. NEXT THING, ONE MORNING, NEWCREST JV'ed with just 9 HOLES drilled. Articles at the time said that RIO was also interested including others.
So, just a HISTORICAL recall of that time. DYOR. Thurs, 11 Sep 2025.
MY VIEW: I already stated that I did the research of the grades BEFORE the results at Havieron came out using the TELFER benchmark and it proved correct although Havieron was slightly better than Telfer for underground grades. Similarly, I have done the HISTORICAL GRADES again of TELFER, HAVIERON AND ANTIPA'S MINYARI DOME, all in the Paterson, Western Australia as well to give HISTORICAL RANGE. It is on this site at WSBN.PL
Hope that clarifies.
