Yes a definite possibility. Hopefully mineralization starts near surface and is not 100's of meters deep.
Like this one ? Diamond drill hole (DDH) CF398 has intersected 0.70% copper, 0.42 g/t gold, 2.80 g/t silver and 0.04% molybdenum (1.13% copper equivalent) over an interval of 54.3 metres (m) of copper mineralization starting at 7.1 m below surface confirming the potential to outline a higher-grade "starter pit",
(But it didn't stop there...it continued all the way to 537m (because the drill stopped), it was open at depth.)
DDH CF398 intersected a higher grade of mineralization that assayed 0.47% copper, 0.37g/t gold, 3.00 g/t silver and 0.02% molybdenum (0.78% copper equivalent) over a 213.7 m interval from 325 m to the bottom of the hole at a depth of 538.7 m. The copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization is open at depth.
Compare that to CXO....(ah polymetalics)
Or how about another one from the Paramount starting at surface:
- DDH CF399 intersected 0.39% copper, 0.10 g/t gold and 0.05% molybdenum and 2.09 g/t silver (0.67% copper equivalent) from 9.14m to 517.24m a core interval of 508.1m,
- DDH CF399 includes a higher grade interval of 0.45% copper, 0.33 g/t gold and 0.06% molybdenum and 3.01 g/t silver (0.94% copper equivalent) from 462.7m to 517.24m, a core interval of 54.5m at the bottom of the hole,
And here's another from surfcae:
- DDH CF401 intersected 0.43% copper, 0.25g/t gold, 0.04% molybdenum and 2.40 g/t silver (0.75% copper equivalent) from 5.66m to 495.9m a core interval of 489.5m,
- DDH CF401 includes a higher grade interval of 0.66% copper, 0.50g/t gold, 0.04% molybdenum, 3.10 g/t silver (1.17% copper equivalent) from 345.4m to 429.2m, a core interval of 83.8m at the bottom of the hole, and
And before you ask, yes both also open at depth:
''copper and gold grades increase substantially in the lower portions of DDH CF399 and DDH CF401 similar to that seen in DDH CF398 and both holes are open at depth.''
You want another...
- DDH CF403 is located 152m south and 78m west of DDH CF 399. This hole intersected 0.46% copper, 0.29g/t gold, 0.02% molybdenum and 3.31 g/t silver (0.76% copper equivalent) from 38.42m to 89.00m a core interval of 50.58m,
- High grade mineralization has now been intersected over a distance of at least 600m and is open to the north and east, and
And here's another:
DDH CF407-2011 intersected 0.40% copper, 0.24 g/t gold, 0.025% molybdenum and 1.98 g/t silver (0.69% copper equivalent) over a core interval of 519.2m from 5.3m to a depth of 524.47m,
