Just briefly scrolled through that report. Check out these snippets below in regards to the 'Blackhawk' program. Can you imagine if GNH were able to release these results today?!! Straight up - best deposit in the world.
Bulk sampling was undertaken. Records indicate that they collected a total of 39 tonnes of material, and all of it was taken along strike, within the vein systems. There were 6 lots in total which went out for processing, and the grades reported were: 18.95, 21.59, 29.04, 11.14, 4.39, and 28.48 grams/tonne Au. The weighted average bulk sample grade reported then was 17.92 g/tonne. James Tilsley (head geologist of the Golden Hope team, and their Qualified Person) had discovered some errors in the historic grade calculations, and he has restated the assayed grades as: 18.95, 15.71, 15.12, 5.28, 2.26, and 9.19 g/tonne Au (respectively), with a weighted average grade at 11.09 g/tonne.)
AND
In 1968, grab samples from the Blackhawk 1 vein were reported to have assayed at better than 90 ounces/ton Au (somewhat above 3080 g/tonne Au), with a bulk sample of 434 lbs. (197 kg) grading at 3.39 opt (about 116 g/tonne), but once again, no further work was done on the claims.
I'm starting to remember why I was so bloody excited about this stock several months ago...
