Love it !
That's funny, I'm sending this lot off for an assay tomorrow.
The ore looks surprisingly familiar? Hmmm are you jumping my claim striker?

4.5kgs should do it hey?

My favourite stuff, gold bearing ore from mother natures belly.

now sorry to confuse everyone me n ryan are mining soon togeather but if anyone was interested i found this old mine and ritch reef in 2011 by accedent when exploreing the old gold mines

 

[Hunting the yellow]

But we are geting excited if the assay results come back rich

 

[Heatho]

Great pics, hope the results are promising for you guys, you fellas earn every bit of that Gold and deserve it. Well done, be careful!

 

[PaulFritz]

It looks like you have a good gram/t ratio there Ryan

 

[Jaros]

What is it mate.

My favourite stuff, gold bearing ore from mother natures belly.

On blowing the pic up i can see lottsa littel specks---congratulations and good luck Ryan.

 

[Hunting the yellow]

Yeah its full of those species shod be good but see what the results come back

 

[Tathradj]

It would be jaw dropping at times with what the old timers would have left behind as "Not worth the trouble"

 

[Ryan27]

On a visual inspection the reef seems to be sensational. However before we get ahead of ourselves I am going to send them to a lab to give us a better assessment of what is in the wall. This particular mine needs some serious upfront investment to get it right for any production. So before I throw money down the hole, I wouldn't mind finding out if the upside is worth the risk.
My instinct says that this reef is rich ! I feel we are not talking grams to the ton, rather ounces to the ton.
Some mines in this area recorded 500 plus ounces to the ton. So the possibilities are very high considering the reef runs East to West and the ore is somewhat different to other systems in the area. HYT has certainly discovered an anomaly.

 

[dwt]

Good luck to you fella's, fingers crossed for you both that the main ore body is but a drill steel away, airleg not jumbo :lol:

 

[Hunting the yellow]

latest results from assay tests its going half a once to a ton pretty poor prob not worth the time and effort to get it out

 

[Jaros]

Bad luck mate, at least you didn't bust your guts going any further.

 

[Hunting the yellow]

yeah true
