In Junior Mining, Not All Grade Data Carries Equal Weight
In mineral exploration, the difference between a successful junior and a perpetual cycle of financings often comes down to the quality of the evidence supporting the geological thesis. Not all grade data carries equal weight. Surface samples can be misleading, particularly in mineralized systems where supergene enrichment or selective sampling may create inflated impressions of what exists at depth. Drill intercepts provide stronger evidence, but they remain statistical snapshots of much larger systems.Sometimes, the most compelling evidence is not produced by modern exploration at all. It ...
