Both the trenching data and the holes posted here seem to suggest that there are only narrow veins showing gold. If the poor intervals in the boreholes are due to cutting across strike, that seems to confirm it.

So basically, this isn't a massive disseminated deposit: rather it's a series of veinlets. Again, they'd have to be mined underground. The grades aren't particularly dreamy for underground mining. And cherry-picking 1 or 2 good-showing intervals doesn't make it so.

BTW, you can easily mine a 0.4g/t (I've even seen 0.3 taken seriously) deposit if it's a massive deposit and can be mined open-pit. GNH can't be mined open-pit if it's all narrow veins like this.

Again, where's the "tonnage"?
