I am confident EVG will head toward and into the Antelope Basin. They've still the remaining hole data to include in the modeling, but as assays aren't the only criteria and cores afford visual inspection of not only rock type and composition but structure as well, EVG could be already well up on developing targets in the basin. Too, they know of previous relatively long interval of gold mineralized drilled by ACNC in the Basin and that coupled with gold mineralization found by EVG already at the far end of the graben ought to be enough inspire progress in that direction.
Questions I have is do the two stock combine at depth as posed in EVG's model and then how deep does the mineralization go? MDW.s Spring Valley deposit gold porphyry is over 1400 deep so far. Can imagine Rattlesnake mineralization continuing to be found much lower. After phase two and more information, perhaps, EVG will put in a long hole or two, perhaps, targeting the bifucation of the intrustive. It is not uncommon for very rich rock to be found surrounding bifurcation points of intrustives.
To the question of depth; Barrick asked MDW to drill deep holes in Spring Valley which were suggessful and now Barrick has taken over that project. The Rattlesnake deposit while not of similar rock type and chemistry, is similar in stucture and maybe in depositional gradient.
Lastly, as nothing more than a fun item, the Rattlesanke similar Cripple Creek deposit had a room sized vug which ran 4,000 oz gold to the ton. Promising coarse gold and visable gold is seen the the Rattlensnake cores already.
The tulips are begin to poke up, spring can't be that far away, can it?
