On August 15, 2017 Jay Taylor published an interview with Quinton Hennigh of Novo Resources Corp which was conducted a few days earlier right after Quinton and I finished dinner following a day in the field in the Karratha region of Australia. The 25 minute interview covers a lot of ground and is an excellent way for newcomers to the Wits 2.0 story to get up to date. Jay asks questions which enable Quinton to describe the scale and nature of Wits 1.0 and how it compares to the Pilbara region (similar but different in terms of an immature, coarser conglomerate host), what is happening locally in the Comet Well-Purdy's Reward area, his raisin cake metaphor for the nuggetty host rock and the sampling problem this poses, the very interesting grade of the "fine" gold in the "tailings" of the recent half tonne bulk sample, the potential of something like the Steinert sorting machine as a future recovery mechanism for the coarse gold in the conglomerate bed, details about the 2,200 m stratigraphic hole CRA drilled 50 km to the southeast through the entire Hamersley Basin into the basement rocks, the remarkable tectonically undisturbed nature of the Pilbara craton, the exploration strategy with regard to outlining a deposit at Comet Well-Purdy's Reward and demonstrating the Wits 2.0 scenario, ongoing acquisitions in the region, and feasibility demonstration work at Beatons Creek.
