This is a typical trench (not to be confused with channel) of a typical area with a large amount of overburden. Where overburden is shallow often a single bulldozer swath is cut through an area two meters or less deep. Our PR said the samples were taken 500m away from the nearest trench. The sample rocks may have been chipped off of an exposed rock but probably came from crumpled narrow vein quartz since quartz veining seems to be the normal for this area. (they however gave no detail) which sadly is their norm for a PR. Unless there were old workings or an old mine to enter, all sampling is considered surface even if the sample is from the bottom of a trench. Ron
