``Bedard Dyke outcrops in the open pit``

From the March 15`10 Century NR: ``The Bedard Dyke outcrops in the open pit and will be an important ore source during the startup of the Lamaque Mine.``

Definition of ``outcrop`` (from Rob McEwen`s US Gold website): ``An exposure of rock or mineral deposit that can be seen on surface, that is, not covered by soil or water.``

Picture no. 15 in the Lamaque gallery is what a gold outcrop would look like:

Now, it is not clear if that picture is a recent picture of the Bedard Dyke outcropping into the open pit or if it`s an old picture of gold mineralization in the open pit during the period when the pit was being mined. It really doesn`t matter. The fact of the matter is that they are saying that the Bedard Dyke outcrops in the pit. This means that the mineralization flows all the way up to the pit. It also likely means that the gold is exposed for viewing/access as it outcrops in the pit.

I think we can use this picture to get a visual appreciation of what the outcrop would look like on the pit surface or pit wall. It bodes well for early stage start up mining of the Bedard Dyke.
