RSC<\/a> Mining and Mineral Exploration Services compiles the best drill intersections around the world and then ranks them based on gold equivalent grams per tonne using ruling metal and mineral prices.<\/p>\n

Year to date Osisko Mining’s Windfall gold project in Quebec’s Abitibi belt is the runaway winner with Global Atomic Corp’s uranium project in Niger coming in second.<\/p>\n

There are caveats. The Windfall grades are spectacular but over just two metres. Number 7 on the list, GGX Gold’s project in southern BC called Gold Drop returned top class grades over 7.3 metres.<\/p>\n

That helps to explain the difference in investor reaction \u2013 GGX shares opened 57% higher on the TSX Venture Exchange the day after the announcement while the effect on Osisko Mining’s stock was a 4.9% drop in value (other market factors also play a role of course).<\/p>\n

RSC also points out that in polymetallic deposits like the ASX-listed winner Adriatic Metals’ Rupice exploration project in Bosnia not all the elements would necessarily be recovered and sold.<\/p>\n

No wonder RSC cautions the companies mentioned not to use these tables in company presentations, websites or social media.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the rankings which are updated each week<\/a>, makes for some interesting comparisons.<\/p>\n

Canadian companies are responsible for eight of the ten most significant drill intersections so far this year. Fair dinkum.<\/p>\n

Nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry.<\/p>\n
