Note: The samples are taken on 5 metre intervals across the full width of the underground stope. The samples are for estimated mining grade purposes only. The actual grade of the material will be determined during mill processing. In the table, within the "Sample ID #" column, "S3" refers to Stope 3; "L(i)" refers to the Lift number and "-(i)" refers to the chip sample location.
All samples were delivered by truck to Acme Analytical Laboratories' facility in Vancouver, BC, where the sample was crushed, split and pulverized to -200 mesh. A 0.5 gram portion of the pulp was then digested in hot aqua regia and analyzed for 31 elements by ICP MS method. Over limits for Ag were by fire assay with gravimetric finish, and for Pb, Zn and Mn by multi-acid digestion and ICP ES finish.
