 La Cabeza Drilling | Exeter Resource
The discovery of significant new gold mineralisation adjacent to the existing Luna prospect was a combination of a RAB drilling discovery to the south of Luna and a re-appraisal of outcrops west and southwest of Luna.
The presence of gold mineralization under sand cover in the previously-unexplored area south of the Luna prospect was first recognized by shallow RAB drilling, in an area approximately 200 meters southeast of the initial discovery that intersected similar quartz veining, with a maximum assay of 8.2 g/t gold.
Structurally, the new area of the Luna Zone is interpreted as consisting of two northwest striking veins that dip 45-50 degrees to the southwest.

It carried two spheres (7.5 and 12 cm in diameter) filled with liquid and an explosive charge, designed to burst apart on impact and scatter pentagonal pennants.

Luna-23 probably had similar pennants, it performed experiments but its drill and return module were damaged.

It is said that Luna County Commissioners have declared WAR on the poor the working class, people who are disabled veterans, other disabled people, the elderly, those on SSI and many more who reside in Luna County.
The Commissioners have mandated a minimum lot size of 2 acres (from the usual 1/2 acre), thereby making thousands of lots in the county worthless: in effect, stealing millions of dollars from our fellow citizens.
