Average grades | * | 2.14 | 3.06 | 4.56 | 0.53 | 89 | |
Calculated Copper Economic Equivalents | Copper | Lead | Zinc | Gold | Silver | ||
for copper equivalent, multiply assay by factor ** & add products: |
1 | 0.33 | 0.36 | 0.41 | 0.01 | ||
Copper equivalent (%) | 5.57 |
* Drillhole length is 2.9 metres. True thickness is 2.2 metres
** A polymetallic deposit is best evaluated with a common dollar denominator. The calculated copper equivalent is at a long-term copper price of $2.50/lb, lead $0.90/lb, zinc $1.00/lb, gold $1,000/oz and silver $15/oz as estimated post-2013 by BMO Capital Markets; and assumed mill recoveries of the five metals, in the same order, of 85%, 78%, 77%, 60% and 60%.
Hole 019A opens up a large untested area along strike to the northwest and down dip from the previously delineated mineral resource described in the Company's NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared by SRK Consulting dated September 26, 2008, copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or the Company's website at www.pebcreek.com.
The drill core is NQ3 with 45 mm diameter, extracted from a triple-tube core barrel and sawed lengthwise into two equal parts, one retained and one complete split sent to Shiva Analyticals, Bangalore, India, an ISO 9001 and 17025 certified laboratory. Shiva analysed the base metals by CPOES, gold by lead fire assay with AAS finish, and silver by ICPOES. Shiva also concurrently ran six check assays with standards and duplicates.
