Copper Rand gold production – the “disappeared” drill results

I also found this in my research:

 

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1995_Nov_14/ai_17636312

 

This is an article from 1995.  It says:

 

“To date, nine (9) holes have been completed, and they have covered over 1,200 feet laterally a zone that could possibly extend over 3,000 feet…. So far, every hole has hit gold/copper mineralization and 48 intersections have been recorded. On average, assay results of these intersections have returned 0.138 oz/t Au and 1.49 percent Cu over a width of 11.2 feet. “

 

But strange… I don’t remember seeing these kinds of gold grades reported in any company document anytime in the last 3 years.  The Copper Rand gold grades I have always seen mentioned have been in the 0.06 oz/t - 0.10 oz/t range.

 

These drill holes would have grades almost double that. 

 

My calculation says that 0.138 oz/t is about 3.9 grams per ton. 

 

That answer would vary depending on whether you use short tons or long (metric) tons.  I think that Campbell used short tons in estimating the size of their ore resources (in their reports), but gold grades are probably based on metric tons.

 

3.9 grams per ton gold, as FREE BYPRODUCT, is phenomenal!
