Gold-mineralised rock bulk samples (684.84 tonnes in 25 separate batches) from the Fabian, Ward and Imperial Reefs were selected from 1975 tonnes obtained by trial mining (from April to August 1988), and processed. Two batches from Fabian Reef produced average grades of 29.14 g/t Au and 42.54 g/t Au for a total of 48.66 tonnes. The remaining 23 batches had average grades from 0.32 to 4.33 g/t Au, significantly higher than that indicated by face assaying, but too low to support underground mining, except on a very limited scale.
