Average value (g/t) 13.3 11.2 (cm.g/t) 1,047 1,293 * Carbon Leader:
The lower value experienced is due to the development of lower
grade carbon leader reef at 5 shaft on the 48-19 raise and on the
east side of the 'O' line, and at 1 shaft with lower values on the
40-19 line and in 36-24 line where the reef is not fully exposed
because of the width of reef band. ** VCR: The lower value
experienced is the combined effect of anticipated lower grade VCR
exposed and sampled in the synclinal axis area of 5 shaft, and
minimal high grade development in the 4 shaft pillar where focus
switched to waste cutting to overcome geological disturbances.
