I don't think he is being disingenuous either as he has quite clearly used the word mineralisation however it has caused confusion and thus may be needed a little more explanation.

Whatever it turns out to be they are quite clearly happy to see it.

I understand there is lots of copper in sulphides 😊

Didnt they say a while back that the gold seam in pics of our current mining area was the blue bit and not the yellow.

Edit: just checked the old Twitters and I am wrong,
Zac says "NW end of the Arzu South Pit at Kiziltepe today. High grades (>6g/t Au) being encountered along the vein (lighter colour linear feature) at bottom of pit".

So a light brownish colour, but not glistening gold.

I can't see him being so disingenuous after all this time playing it close to his chest. It's simply not his M.O.

The word "CLEAR" in this context I believe means what it says. Easily visible to the human eye. If it's not gold/silver I don't believe they'd attempt to pass it off as such. I think it is indeed clear (ie. easily visible) evidence of mineralisation (ie. precious metals, not bits of Crunchie). Just my opinion though. If they're 'at it' I'd be very surprised.

Given that the sample is probably 25-30kg (I am assuming it's one of those plastic sacks turned out) then you would be 100s ounces per tonne.

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 12:28

dixi - I find it hard to believe as well. But as soul indcates, if it is gold it would probably run into several ounces per ton and would require a bonanza type RNS once they had confirmation back from the lab imho.

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 12:18

soul - thanks for that and yes, if the picture was intended to deceive very naughty indeed.

[soulsauce] 17/5/2019 12:13

Just spoken to a geology friend and the likelihood of finding nuggets in a drill sample is very small let alone the amount of 'nuggets types' in that picture.
A little bit naughty showing a picture of shiny yellow in my opinion.

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 12:01

soul - if I was Kerim I wouldn't want to cause a stampede at this early stage in drilling. So I'd probably keep the market guessing. The key questions here are 1) what do they mean to imply by 'clear evidence of mineralisation' along with a picture that clearly shows quite significant yellow bits and 2) what is the nature of that yellow mineralisation?

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 11:55

soul - that's the million dollar question innit me dux!

[soulsauce] 17/5/2019 11:54

Lol 8rad. I hope it's gold as much as the next man but if it was in a sample like that it would be off the scale and not something you would make freely available ahead of an RNS.

[8rad] 17/5/2019 11:50

Its like the 49ers here today...definitely something in the air. The power of the picture and all that.

[soulsauce] 17/5/2019 11:43

So Charles then why use the word mineralisation and not 'gold can be clearly seen' if the yellow is indeed gold?

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 11:33

But soul - if they have an XRF spectrometer they should be able to say exactly what the yellow bits are. Why do you think they are not doing that? I don't think Kerim would want to risk showing that picture knowing it could mislead.
p.s. - in other words I think the yellow bits are probably nuggets

RNS 28 June 2018:

JORC Exploration Target* of up to 2.7Moz gold and 16.1Moz silver established in the Salinbas area, excluding current JORC Indicated and Inferred Resources of c.1Moz gold.

Potential for further resource extensions to be delineated within high-grade and steeply plunging breccia pipes akin to Hot Maden, which feed in to the Salinbas Horizon.


That tweet from a few hours ago as posted by someuwin #14063 from first drill results;

Crikey.

[soulsauce] 17/5/2019 11:28

More likely to be sulphides containing various minerals.
Like I say gold in that sort of amount wouldn't be tweeted out.

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 11:24

And the sellers are still there. Unbelievable!

[kirbs4] 17/5/2019 11:22

Stop losses activated :)

[crossfirecssf] 17/5/2019 11:16

Just for clarification, I mean gold/silver when I say mineralisation. Appreciate that there's more to it than that.

[crossfirecssf] 17/5/2019 11:14

Damn this is getting exciting. Who's going to be left at the station? There are nuggets in there. I'd suggest that that little pile appears to show very high, if not bonanza grade mineralisation, but what do I know? All I know is that I'm sure as hell not going to be left standing while the train rolls off into the distance. My seat's booked and taken.

JC2706, absolutely I agree that Salinbas will be the catalyst if not the gold price, but I believe we're going to get both, and that represents the perfect storm.

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 11:10

soul - I agree it would help to know if the yellow bits are in fact gold. I believe they have an XRF hand held spectrometer on site so the question shouldn't be difficult to answer.

[soulsauce] 17/5/2019 11:06

Charles mineralisation is not the same as gold. There is probably a mixture of things in that sample like molybdenum. It would be good to have it clarified I think.

[charles clore] 17/5/2019 11:02

soul - imho it would be disingenuous of the company to tweet 'clear mineralisation' if it wasn't actually gold

[soulsauce] 17/5/2019 10:59

Quite catsick.
