Channel Sampling Vs. Grab Sampling

Several of Puma Exploration's 2011 news releases were focused primarily on grab sample results at their Nicholas-Denys property. All of those releases were exciting to be sure, but their latest NR of Jan. 12, 2012 is unique.

Although the purpose of any sampling technique is to further determine the size of a given resource, the data obtained from a grab sample is based on the geologists' more or less indiscriminate selections from the trench. To this we can attribute the presence of mineralization, which, in Puma's case is very high grade, but we still do not have any average or width values of that mineralization.

On Jan. 12, things became more interesting: "The results and the data obtained along a channel sampling program are similar to drilling a horizontal hole at surface."

Channel sampling provides critical information about resource potential. Not just a grab, but a continuous sample at a constant depth is taken across the length of the chosen area to be explored; a formation, a vein or structure. Results of a channel sample have much more economic significance because they allow us to know the width of the mineral-rich area and the average grade value, not just the nicest bits.

Sampled in this way, then examined, measured and accurately described, the data is of important value to the undecided investor.
