During your fieldwork, you discovered a shear zone (SZ) with a general attitude of 0°/90°, approximately 1 km long and 2 m wide, which occurs over very weathered rocks with a schist appearance and contains quartz veins and veinlets with boxworks showing Fe oxides (see figure). The chemical analyses of the samples you collected gave interesting values of 6 to 14 ppm of Au. Your boss, very free, asked you to prepare a quote for the execution of an exploratory drilling hole for two different orientation conditions (60° and 70°) in order to investigate: the continuity of the mineralization at depth, what the host is and whether there is also mineralization on both sides. For this, your boss will tell you that the hole should intercept a ZC 100 meters below the surface, where the rock will certainly be fresh, and that the entire hole should be chemically applied.…arrow_forward
