1/ The Unknown Geologist: There are a couple of key aspects of the Goldboro property. The thickness of the stacked units/belts there are great. All belts plunge 25 degrees to the east...
2/ the best example of this is the Boston Richardson Mine itself, which was one belt mined from surface down to 700 feet. It had a 400-foot shaft. We drilled out to the east down to 1250 feet and it's still there. There was one sample that ran a half-ounce over five feet.
3/ That was in the deepest hole ever drilled on the property. The Boston Richardson still has high-grade gold at depth!
4/ If you look at that one Boston Richardson belt in the saddle reef, then there's your basic model for Goldboro. Historic records document two high-grade ore chutes in the Boston Richardson mine.
5/ I did some work at Goldboro for about two or three months, just pencil and paper stuff many years ago before all this high-technology.
6/ I have a structural control theory on why those high-grade ore chutes are there on both limbs in Goldboro, not just one like Forest Hill. When they theory is applied to the model, it lines up nicely.
7/ I've had several discussions with the Anaconda folks about my structural control theories, but I don't think they really realize what they're sitting on at the moment. They will.
8/ Bob Moriarty:I'm looking at their stock. The market doesn’t know, either.
9/ Unknown Geologist:No idea. And that’s just one example. They drilled one hole recently that was 485 grams over 2.6-meter core length.
10/ Bob Moriarty:I saw that.
11/ Unknown Geologist:That is probably a two-meter-wide belt. It was 33 meters deep.
12/ I think they are planning to do a bulk sample and I said, "Take one drill, go 25 meters to the west, and drill a hole up dip -- if you hit it again, then go 25 meters to the east and strip it off," Fifteen and a half ounces per tonne over two meters would be nice.
13/ Even if it's one ounce with dilution – 10,000 tons of that could go on one barge. Send it to the Anaconda mill and they could get most of last year’s production on that one barge! Then, you can finance further infill drilling.
14/ Find the transcript from the first part of the call where #TheUnknownGeologist introduced #BobMoriarty to the Goldboro Project owned by @Anaconda_Mining: ceo.ca/@Newton/the-un…

1/ Shoutout #ESSCO Earth Science Services Corp. earthscienceservices.ca and the Stargate II (SGII) system.
2/ The SGII team always has some interesting things to say on CEO.CA -- see ceo.ca/Stargate2 for more.
3/ The SGII system is used to help guide drilling activity. See this map for an example: cdn.ceo.ca.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1d5kbfe-Fuller… Map that only a geologist could love...

1/ .@BellCopperBCU has a great exploration story at Kabba. See my thoughts on the #copper play in Arizona here: ceo.ca/@Newton/a-loom…
2/ The roots of the porphyry system are exposed at surface approximately 8 kilometers west of their exploration area and the top of the system was split from the roots by a fault.
3/ The deposit of interest is concentrated in the top of the system and it was either moved downwards and preserved under the valley, or moved up and eroded away.

1/ The story of #CoralGold $CLH.V sale of the Robertson project to @BarrickGold is very interesting. CEO David Wolfin describes the details in 2016 interview with Jay Taylor that I found very helpful:
2/ The key consideration for Barrick's business development committee is the IRR against a baseline gold price. When negotiating the sale of the Robertson, Barrick needed the project to meet a 15% IRR at $1,250 gold.
3/ In the 2016 interview with Jay Taylor, Mr. Wolfin describes how he negotiated for the royalty to be set as high as possible at $1,250 gold and then to increase with each $200/ounce increase in the gold price up to a maximum 2.25% NSR.

1/ Coral Gold (TSX.V:CLH) has been active in Nevada for over 30 years, developing a meaningful relationship with Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX) that has already led to one significant asset sale. Coral Gold negotiated a nice royalty with a sliding scale for the NSR and annual payments...
2/ ...due if not the Robertson is not in production by 2025! Coral has several other assets nearby that could have similar success, but CEO Mr. David Wolfin has already described the royalty on the Robertson as a potential company maker.
3/ Bell Copper (TSXV:BCU) has a deal with Kennecott Exploration under Rio Tinto (LSE: RIO, ASX:RIO) for a porphyry project in Arizona that is close to becoming a copper porphyry. Bell Copper is still the majority owner for the project, but their partner is earning in quickly.

1/ Goldboro! Part 1 of #NewtonInterviews The Unknown Geologist on the geological model for this exciting gold project in Nova Scotia, Canada owned by @Anaconda_Mining: ceo.ca/@Newton/findin…
2/ Quotes from the Unknown Geologist to follow... "I know the Boston Richardson model very well."
3/ I remember reviewing a diagram of the Boston Richardson belt that shows the historic mining, and it highlights the top and bottom of an ore shoot on both limbs.

1/ Find out what The Unknown Geologist has to say about the @Anaconda_Mining Goldboro Project in Nova Scotia, Canada: ceo.ca/@Newton/more-f…
2/ Unknown Geologist:I remember Dustin asking me to highlight some key points about Goldboro. Like how many ounces of gold do we think Goldboro will host? I said to him…you've got 850,000 now, when all is said and done, Goldboro will have at least 2,000,000 ounces.
3/ I said, look at it this way, the deepest hole ever drilled in Goldboro was about 400 meters deep. Dolliver Mountain, which once hosted the largest stamp mill in the province, is 1.5 kilometers out to the west of the main ramp area.
