Zone 1 is from samples taken from the base of the sampled stockpile. The zones are assumed to be approximate to how the soil may have been stockpiled. To have this extremely low variability in the Lift B soil stockpile makes it very hard to believe that the increase in soil ECe is due to the application of mine pit water. If mine pit water was responsible for the increase in soil ECe one would expect an extremely high variability in the soil ECe sample data due to the inability to uniformly apply the mine pit water with large watering 9 {00136879.1 }
