Drilling this round was an absolute pain, with constant plugged or stuck steels as a result of the breccia and clay we were drilling through. At least it blasted well!
Our internal cost is in the $300/foot range. No gold in this particular shot, but we're advancing towards a vein that should yield about a quarter ounce of gold and several ounces of silver per ton based on exploration drilling. The vein we discovered in this episode is likely to run copper, lead, and zinc instead.
