The Eye Of The Needle

~ Some perspectives on the target and target zone ~


To NuLegacy Shareholders/Stakeholders:

Good day folks, hope you are all well; just drawing your attention to today’s news release and some thoughts on perspective.

Back in the fall of 2019, when NuLegacy had about C$ 1.5 million in the bank (C$ 16 million today) and gold was trading around US$ 1,400 per ounce, we were faced with the prospect of spending US$ 500,000 just to get the (then) newly ‘prospective’ Rift Anticline permitted for drilling…our new crew of geos having, after ten long years of wandering in the desert of the Iceberg, Serena and North zones, ‘finally figured it out’…the gold is in ‘them thar western hills’…of the basalt covered Rift Anticline!

So, I asked our resident ‘wizard behind the curtain’ Charles Weakly how many holes is it going to take to ‘fill or kill’ that area/volume.  He went away and thought about it and came back with the notion of 16 holes. Well who was I to question the wizard…okay…you got it – $½ million to permit…a million to keep the company whole while we permit…16 holes…$1/4 to 1/2 million each…we’ll raise the money and go to town…

Fast forward to the fall of 2020 and we drilled four holes that gave us good information and, as just reported, an encouraging taste of gold…so we have 12 holes left (perhaps 13 as that’s my lucky number)…and what is the target size…and within what target zone/volume?

Target/target zone size-volume: The target is not quite as small as the proverbial ‘needle in a haystack’…its more like the hole in the needle…with the Rift Anticline itself having been the ‘needle in the haystack’ of our 108 sq. km Red Hill property.

The target size-volume we are looking for, within the 6+ sq. km area of the Rift Anticline, using the Goldrush’s 10 million high-grade ounces deposit as an analogue1,2, would be contained within a ‘coffin’ averaging about 250 meters wide, 75 meters thick, and 5 km long… a ‘discontinuous ribbon of very high-grade gold-bearing material’ with a volume of about 100 million cubic meters, which equals 0.1 cubic kilometers.

The target zone size (the Rift Anticline) is about 1,200 meters wide, 300 meters thick and 5,000+ meters long…for a volume of 1.8 cubic kilometers.

Thus the targeted deposit (the eye of the needle) is ~0.1 cubic kilometers within a needle (the Rift Anticline’s volume) of 1.8 cubic km…or about 1/18th the size of the Rift Anticline…a difficult but not impossible task…with twelve holes…and NuLegacy’s remarkable geo-team ☺.

The Art & Science of Vectoring to the target will be the basis of our next CEO’s Chat when the geo-team has finished compiling and analysing the mass of data from these first four holes including the gold assays and Televiewer, geo-chemical and spectral surveys that have just been completed.

Cheers,

Albert J. Matter

1 As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports, the Goldrush resource contains 8,557,000 indicated ounces of gold within 25.78 million tonnes grading ~10.57 g/t and 1,650,000 inferred ounces within 5.6 million tonnes grading ~9.0 g/t.
