Ann: Bulk Sampling of 47K Patch Conglomerate Gold Approved, page-63

Only a small point but this patch does not appear to be hard rock conglomerate. If you look at the ann you will read that the area " has potential for conglomerate gold" which seems to reinforce the observation that it is weathered material containing nuggets.

Given that this material has weathered and some of the host rock is likelyvto have been washed away and the gold concentrated, it will be no help in assessing the value of Purdys. It may be difficult to tell if the original host rock had similar layers as those found at Purdys.

Given this is weathered stuff i would imagine that it would be not as hard on the small plant as raw conglomerate rock, although when i previously asked Black Cat if this was the case he expressed the opinion that it still would be hard on the gear.

Lets hope for some transparency from ARV management on details of this bulk sampling program. If details are lacking then that could be a clue that games are afoot.

At present it does look like ARV has something outside Purdys worth pursuing. Lets hope it works out....with CSIRO on site at least we know that there is some expertise present, and thats a change from the usual in ARV projects.
