Advance Gold - some drill results!!!

Drill results are like buses, you wait for ages, then 2 come along.....(link and link)

I was getting scared, maybe Mexico has become the Bermuda triangle of drill-results, with gangs of chihuahuas running around eating them up...

However, I want to direct this post to ABL and Julio Pinto Linares, PGeol. Wow, what a load of howlers you've made, let's go through them:
  • You couldn't quite manage to add up the sample thicknesses from hole AGT-01
    • Original - 3m @ 9.4 g/t Au
    • Updated - 1.7m @ 9.46 g/t Au (link)
  •  You didn't manage to send all of the vein for assaying (link)
 
  • If you are going to release all the assays from you drill program, a good pro-tip is - try to include the over-limit assay results, unless you want to maintain the audience's suspense (is it 101 g/t Ag or 10000000000000000001 g/t Ag?!?!?!?!?!)


but the good news is, you're using a certified, internationally recognized assay lab, I tip my hat to you...

Hey, what's multiple cock-ups between friends....

Fortunately, the great man himself, on CEO.ca gave us this gem...

 

Grade isn't important in the oxide zone for these veins? So those old-timers were just moving rusty rock around Central Mexico for fun? Well, it kept them out of the bean fields....

    1. Yeah I think less than 35 million fully diluted. We all know there's lots of hi grade gold around Red Lake. GBR could be a runner with these shallow grades. Picked up a couple of thousand today around $1.20

    2. I'm looking at the data, it looks like a good new discovery and they've been pulling out reasonable numbers this year. It will be interesting to see if Goldcorp jump in (or maybe when), or with the Cochenour debacle, will they be a bit shy and wait for more results?

    3. Great Bear halted pending news.

  3. It would be useful to see all of the previous drill results and the stats for the new stuff. Just looking at the reported assays for 2017/18 I don't see very much that would be economic.

    3. I meant the historical drilling.

    4. I agree, some of the new holes go deeper and appear to be 'better', but a lot of drilling will be needed to fully understand the mineralization. The good news is, they are going to be well funded to do so.
