How to read a drill intercept
A result such as 1.8 g/t gold over 162 meters means the rock across that 162 meter length of drill hole averaged 1.8 grams of gold per metric tonne. Intervals that begin at surface are especially relevant for potential open pit designs, because there is little or no waste rock to remove first.
Long, steady intervals often matter more than a single short high grade spike, since a resource depends on volume as well as grade.
