Two drillholes were abandoned due to difficult drilling conditions.\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\nHole No.\n\n\nFrom\n \n \n(m)\n\n\nTo\n \n \n(m)\n\n\nInterval\n \n \n(m)\n\n\nEstimated\nTrue\nWidth (m)\n\n\nGrade\n \n \n(%Sn)\n\n\nNewmont Twin Hole Number\n\n\nFrom\n \n \n(m)\n\n\nTo\n \n \n(m)\n\n\nInterval\n \n \n(m)\n\n\nGrade\n \n \n(%Sn)\n\n\n \n\n\nTwin Type\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstimated True Width(m)\n\n\n\n\nTMTADD001\n\n\n51\n\n\n72\n\n\n21\n\n\n14\n\n\n0.11\n\n\nDG372-4\n\n\n52\n\n\n72\n\n\n20\n\n\n0.12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDD twin of Newmont DD Drillhole\n\n\n14\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n113\n\n\n137\n\n\n24\n\n\n15\n\n\n0.40\n\n\n\n\n\n115\n\n\n143\n\n\n28\n\n\n0.12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15\n\n\n\n\nTMTADD002\n\n\n53\n\n\n80\n\n\n27\n\n\n22\n\n\n0.14\n\n\nDG357-2\n\n\n62\n\n\n91\n\n\n29\n\n\...
