Bates Hunter Core Samples
​
Following the completion of the re-logging of over 12,000 ft of BH core, additional areas of the core that were previously unsampled were split for analysis. This core is all from surface drilling and varies between 1.5 - 3 inches in diameter.
Samples were taken from multiple holes and depths. Description of samples follow the data table.
​
Samples were sent to Hazen Research, Inc. in Golden, Colorado who performed fire assay analysis with gravimetric finish. Results presented in Table 1.0 are from Analytical Report 19M03197.

Tools used to obtain these cut samples include diamond blade saw and appropriate personal protective equipment. These samples are the twelfth set of samples taken by the current operator of the Bates-Hunter mine, BH Mining Company.
