[QUOTE="Village, post: 52329, member: 1900"] Well Goldtruck Me, not personally but I do know of two that have. The first was about almost ten years ago, Hill End Gold decided that they want to utilise an old drive to save money to get to any area they had tested drilled with good results, but the drive was 18 inches to narrow on three faces to get the gear down, so they using small charges they were we going to expand it, after detonation, what they found was a complex series of gold veins on the north east wall for almost the entire length. The old timers missed it by what would have been anything from 3" inches onwards. The other one is the Morning Star mine, they are currently sinking down adjunct to the old mine, currently the overburden is yielding 10gn Au ton. Food for thought [/QUOTE]
