In addition, Hole LDH-16 was drilled to a depth of 150 metres to test for buried mineralized min·er·al·ize v. min·er·al·ized, min·er·al·iz·ing, min·er·al·iz·es v.tr. 1.

Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. . This hole was collared 150 metres north of the mineralized surface outcrops and drilled away from the Lindero deposit. No significant intervals were returned.

Ore grade Ore grade is a measure that describes the concentration of a valuable natural material (such as metals or minerals) in its surrounding ore. Ore grade is used to assess the economic feasibility of a mining operation: the cost of extracting a natural material from its ore is directly mineralization in the main zone is hosted in an intense magnetite magnetite (măg`nətīt), lustrous black, magnetic mineral, Fe3O4. It occurs in crystals of the cubic system, in masses, and as a loose sand. and quartz-magnetite stockwork which correlates with strong potassic alteration. Aggressive follow-up drilling will commence as soon as is practical with the objective of further delineation and definition of the Lindero deposit. In conjunction with drilling, the Company will undertake large diameter column leach testing and geotechnical studies with a view to completing a pre-feasibility study on a timely basis. This information will provide the basis for the Company's consultants to calculate a revised resource figure using a series of appropriate cut-off grades.

Security - Chain of Custody The movement and location of physical evidence from the time it is obtained until the time it is presented in court. Judges in bench trials and jurors in jury trials are obligated to decide cases on the evidence that is presented to them in court. and Quality Control Two metre lengths of HQ core samples were halved with a diamond saw and bagged at the field facility. The bags were tied with plastic color-coded security ties. Sample bags were then placed in shipping boxes and couriered by company vehicle to the Acme Analytical Laboratories S.A. prep lab in Mendoza, Argentina. The prepped samples were then shipped by Acme to their lab in Santiago, Chile where they were fire assayed for gold. The Company employs a Quality Control program consisting of re-assaying randomly selected coarse reject samples, insertion of coarse standard samples and blanks. About Mansfield Minerals Inc.
