This isn't meaningful, in my opinion.  Surface sampling almost always yields far higher grades than does drilling.  In fact, in an area of known mineralization, a sampling program can be designed to create the highest numbers possible, and sometimes just for promotional purposes. 

To my understanding, this work was not performed with the intent to create a gold story but merely to adhere to annual assessment work to keep the underlying claim active.  These grades - and where is mention of the lower ones? - certainly do not contribute to the copper story. 

Yes, I earlier supported a shift to gold exploration, but that was at a suspected Carlin-type mineralization location.  That is not the case here. 

Use your own judgment, but I see nothing here to be excited about.  This provides no substantive change to the company's viability.  What's the next step, channel sampling?  Where will the money come from?  You are not going to find a partner based on one round of chips in an abbreviated report.
