Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1,466 g/t gold considered high-grade?+
Yes, significantly so. Any intercept above 5 g/t is classified as high-grade; 1,466 g/t is exceptional and well above typical economic thresholds for underground mining.
What does 'deepest west-to-east drill holes' mean for Rising Sun?+
It indicates SXGC has extended exploration drilling deeper and across the deposit's strike length to map the three-dimensional extent of mineralization at depth, potentially adding to the resource estimate.
Why does the use of a wedge hole (SDDSC230W1) matter?+
Wedge holes allow operators to test new directions from an existing collar cost-effectively, enabling faster, targeted exploration of adjacent or deeper zones without sinking new drill pads.
What is the significance of 100% ownership at Sunday Creek?+
Full ownership means SXGC retains all economic benefits and development control, eliminating royalties or joint venture dilution that would reduce shareholder value.
