Welcome to ST KiwiGeologist, I cannot answer your question because I don't know what the two types are yet .. but the press release implies they'll do some more low-cost trenching and think hard about a drilling programme.
Data collected from a survey of Otago had identified shear zones similar to the Hyde-Macraes shear zone.
On-ground exploration had led to the discovery, which Glass Earth said was characterised by a network of quartz veins from which systematic soil and bedrock trench samples had returned grades ranging up to 16.1 g/t Au.
The zone of interest is 900 metres in strike length and 300m wide.
Glass Earth said it would finalise additional fieldwork to plan and recommend a drill programme.
It's a big zone of interest, that's for sure.
