Question for geologists: How meaningful is an 88% hit rate in early-stage gold exploration?

Looking for some technical perspectives from this community. I’m sharing a short video update from **Patrick Levasseur** of **Beauce Gold Fields**, following a recent press release on drilling at the Grondin Zone in Québec. The update walks through a newly completed 3D geological model (Leapfrog-based) of a Saddle Reef–style antiform structure that appears to tightly control gold mineralization. Some context: * Mineralization outlined over \~600 m laterally * Drilling so far is shallow (\~40 m), system remains open along strike and at depth * 14 of 16 drill holes returned gold anomalies ≥300 ppb (up to 11 g/t) * That equates to an 88% hit rate at an early exploration stage **Questions for those with exploration or structural geology experience:** 1. In your view, how reliable is a high hit rate like this when drilling remains shallow? 2. For Saddle Reef or antiform-hosted systems, how early do you typically see structural control become this clear? 3. At this stage, would you prioritize step-outs along strike or deeper drilling along the fold axis first? 4. Any common pitfalls to watch for when interpreting early 3D models in folded terranes?
