2024.06.07 20:34 BasicallyClean The Absolutely Bizarre Scorecards of MMA Judge Dave Tirelli - Part 2.

So picture this:
It's Saturday. I was watching UFC 302 but I missed Lima vs. Raposo live.
I'm coming back home after procuring an alcoholic beverage. I lay my phone down as I'm carrying the beverage, and the phone dings.
One of you ratfucks sends me a message. No context, no photo, I have no idea what's going on.
The message read: "Bah gawd that's Dave Tirelli's music."
See, when I wrote that article about Dave Tirelli four years ago, I didn't really proofread it. I didn't really try to polish it up and make it easy to read. I didn't really put a ton of effort into it.
I used to write and make video and written pieces for the subreddit off and on, but that one I just threw together. I just thought it was so totally comical that somebody could be this incompetent or outwardly corrupt, or both.
I didn't put it in the article, but internally from what I remember, I just sort of hoped "maybe this was the only guy they could get to judge during Covid in May 2020" and sent it out into the Redditverse.
If you haven't read it or missed Part 1 when TheBaltimoron reposted it on Saturday, you can find it here.
I sort of just figured after all that, he'd not get any more major assignments after how terrible his cards were and we'd all forget about it. After all, the UFC was the only sport really going at that time. Surely all the athletic commissions noticed.
No.
The son-of-a-bitch is STILL getting major cards.
And they're just as bizarre as they've ever been.
There's going to be a bunch of tables below. You can skip this section now, and come back up to refer to it if you're not sure what part of a table means:
Media Scores For = Number of Media Members Who Scored the Fight for X Fighter Per MMADecisions.com
Fan Win Percentage = Percentage of Fans Who Scored the Fight for X Fighter per MMADecisions.com. If the numbers do not add up to 100%, some voters ruled a 10-10 draw unless otherwise noted.
Tirelli Score = Tirelli's Final Scorecard
Rounds Tirelli Scored For = Dave, if you're reading this and having trouble figuring out what this means, this box has the rounds you gave that fighter, separated by a comma.
Fans With Same Result = This box represents the amount of fans who had the same result as Dave. Note, they may have scored rounds differently but arrived at the same final score. This metric should not be viewed as the amount of fans who had the same scorecard as that number would almost certainly be something even less.
Caveats:
Some fights won't have striking stats and some won't have great fan data. Some fights may have misleading stats or big moments that changed rounds/fights that aren't reflected in the data. That said, the point is to show a repeated history of being detached from reality, not a myopic view of one specific fight.
While there are many fights where I remember him scoring a round weirdly, I am only going to include fights with decent evidence to support the overall theme.
In short, this is not an exhaustive list of all of his insane scorecards.
But it is a pretty good one.
Let us pick up where we left off from part 1.
1. Bellator 252 - Yaroslav Amosov def. Logan Storley
November 12th, 2020
Tirelli scores it 29-28 for Storley.
Fighter Media Scores For Fan Win Percentage Tirelli Score Rounds Tirelli Scored For Fans With Same Result
Amosov 6 74.7 28 1
Storley 1 21.3 29 2, 3 20.0%
Source
Now, Tirelli turns in a 29-28 for Sorley, which is not his most bizarre card he's ever turned in, but that's not saying a whole lot. The point of deviation from fans and media, was the 2nd round.
Fighter Round Two Fan Percentage For Tirelli Scored For
Amosov 85.3%
Storley 12.0% 😎
This means, that no more than 12% of fans could have possibly had Tirelli's exact card. He's less accurate than a UFC troll. We're off to a rippin' start.
2. Bellator 260 - Bobby King def. Nick Newell
June 11th, 2021
Tirelli scores it 29-28 for Newell.
There were only five fan scorecards submitted on MMADecisions.com, and only one media scorecard. I don't have stats from the fight either. There's just not enough data.

So lets look at the one media scorecard and the other two judges vs Tirelli:

Judge King Newell
Judge Dave Hagen 30 27
Judge Michael Murtha 30 27
SevereMMA's Sean Sheehan 30 27
Judge Dave Tirelli 28 29 😎

BUT BC THATS LIKE SUPER SMOL DATA AND NOT FAIR.
Boys, we are just getting started. Buckle up.
3. UFC 268 - Dustin Jacoby def. John Allan
November 6th, 2021
Tirelli scores the 3rd round for Allan.
Fighter Media Scores For Fan Win Percentage Tirelli Score Rounds Tirelli Scored For Fans With Same Result
Jacoby 14 97.1 29 1,2 8.8%
Allan 1 2.9 28 3

Tirelli scored the fight correctly for Jacoby but with the wrong card because he had a stroke in the 3rd round:
Fighter Round Three Fan Percentage For Significant Strikes Takedowns/Ground Strikes Tirelli Scored For
Jacoby 97.1 48 0
Allan 2.9 27 0 😎

Yeah. No idea.
4. UFC on ESPN 42: Clay Guida def. Scott Holtzman
December 03, 2022
Tirelli scores it 29-28 Holtzman.
Fighter Media Scores For Fan Win Percentage Tirelli Score Rounds Tirelli Scored For Fans With Same Result
Guida 17 80 28 3
Holtzman 0 20 29 1, 2 13.8%

You just never know when he's gonna strike. This time, it was in the 2nd round:
Round Two Fan Percentage For Significant Strikes (Total) Takedowns Control Time Tirelli Scored For
Guida 84.6 17 (29) 2 of 8 2:55
Holtzman 15.4 22 (32) 0 0:01 😎

This inspired comments from da bois:
How can anyone give that to Holtzman?
-lopez_motors
Split??? pretty clear 2-1 Guida
-Sleepyness86
Surprised that one of the judges gave Holtzman the 3rd round for a split decision but glad Guida won that after the continued sequence-altering fence grabs.
-kmp92
5. UFC on ESPN+ 89: Marc Diakiese def. Kaue Fernandes
November 4th, 2023
Tirelli scores it 29-28 Fernandes.
Fighter Media Scores For Fan Win Percentage Tirelli Score Rounds Tirelli Scored For Fans With Same Result
Fernandes 1 17.4% 29 1, 2
Diakiese 12 82.6% 28 3 17.4%
Source
Round one was a swing round. Tirelli deviates on the 2nd round:
Fighter Round Two Fan Percentage For Significant Strikes (Total) Takedowns Control Time Tirelli Scored For
Fernandes 21.7% 10 (20) 0 0 😎
Diakiese 78.3% 4 (16) 1 of 4 2:50
Source
Source 2
One thing to remember is that ground strikes not rated as often as significant strikes compared to strikes landed at distance. As a result they are more often counted as "total" but not "significant".
As a result, the stats are a little misleading here - Diakiese dominated this round and the fan voting and other judges show it. But I did want to provide the statistics for full transparency, even if they are misleading.
Here's what the ratfucks thought:
The judge making this a split decision just hooked me for the rest of the night.
-Nuclearfrog
Yeah I was half paying attention thinking diakese had this easy. Where the fuck did split come from
-thatinsuranceguy
man that was boring also how the fuck was that a split decision????
-southpawsouthpaw
6. UFC 302: Andre Lima def. Mitch Raposo
June 01, 2024
Tirelli scores it 29-28 Raposo.
Fighter Media Scores For Fan Win Percentage Tirelli Score Rounds Tirelli Scored For Fans With Same Result
Raposo 0 2.7% 29 1, 2
Lima 14 97.3% 28 3 1.3%
Source
One of his worst stinkers so far. Not only did he give Round 1 to Raposo:
Round One Fan Percentage For Significant Strikes (Total) Takedowns Control Time Tirelli Scored For
Raposo 2.6% 7 (7) 0 0 😎
Lima 97.3% 17 (17) 0 0

He also gave him Round 2:

Lima 82.7% 13 (13) 0 0

But if one absolutely dogshit card isn't enough, Dave's your man. The man can go all night.
The man can go TWICE in one night.
7. UFC 302: Sean Strickland def. Paulo Costa
June 01, 2024
Tirelli scores it 49-46 Costa.
Fighter Media Scores For Fan Win Percentage Tirelli Score Rounds Tirelli Scored For Fans With Same Result
Costa 0 4.7% 49 1, 2, 3, 4 Unknown
Strickland 24 94.9% 46 5
Source
That's right - this scorecard is so bizarre, we can't actually tell if any fans at all ended with 49-46 Costa, because it's not listed in the top five as a possibility in the data on MMADecisions.
I'm tired of making these fucking charts. You guys get it. It was insane and we all saw it.
You guys had many, many thoughts:
What in the fuck was that 4-1 Costa scorecard!?
-PhenoManan
Worst scorecards ever tonight, the judge who scored it 49-46 Costa needs to be fired.
-dealerofbananas
Legit one of the worst scorecards I’ve ever seen
-GoldenLlamaDog
He needs to be investigated and prosecuted for bet rigging, cancelled for incompetence is the bare minimum.
-Heroe-D
No incompetence can explain this. I suspect malice.
-Real-Human-Bean-
49-46 Costa might be the single most heinous card I've ever seen
-DesertRL
He thought Costa was Strickland 😂
-ivo09
Enough of this shit.
How is it, that a rando on Reddit spotted this four years ago, and you guys can't figure it out?
Athletic commissions, your job is to protect fighters. Do your fucking job. It's already bad enough that fighters have "win bonuses" anyway. Your lack of doing your job could cost these guys their livelihoods.
I've reviewed this in depth if you can't tell. I have a question for the athletic commissions.
Don't you guys at the respective commissions all find it strange that he can go months to a year with totally normal cards, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it's like he's never seen the sport before? And be completely normal in the next fight, making really good decisions on razor thin rounds?
In the 6 fights where Tirelli went split decision in this article and I have media data, he was 2 for 76 against the media. Meaning, out of 76 media votes, they may have had a different card, but agreed with his winner twice out of seventy-six attempts.
Is it that Dave Tirelli is the only person on planet Earth sporatically capable of understanding who won a fight, OR is it just that if you graded him vs. the media over these 6 fights, he would be DEAD LAST in accuracy?
Whats Occam's razor have to say about this?
Since the commissions don't appear to watch to actually watch MMA, maybe they watch baseball. So, lets present the numbers in a different way.
Expressed as a batting average, arguably the hardest thing to do in pro sports, Tirelli is hitting .026 in his controversial decisions listed just here in part 2.
That makes him over SIX TIMES WORSE than the worst hitting performance over one season in Major League Baseball history. He's six times worse than the worst guy of all time, at the hardest feat in sports. Please, tell me more about how "hard" this job is.
So here you go. Here's your evidence, over two articles now, that shows, unequivocally, that he is either grossly incompetent or completely corrupt.
And Dana White was wrong.
He doesn't need to judge lower shows. He does not need a license. Not now, not ever. I've already done the hard work for you. Fighters don't deserve this. Fans don't deserve this. Promotions don't deserve this. Bettors don't deserve this. Coaches don't deserve this. Advertisers don't deserve it. The networks investing in the product of MMA don't deserve this.
None of them deserve Tirelli's incompetence.
But you know whose incompetence they really don't deserve? Yours - athletic commissions. Because you're asleep at the wheel with absolutely no signs of consciousness.
Pull his damn license.
Or do I need to do that for you too?

Following yet another offseason of cryptic tweets and drama, Stefon Diggs showed up from the onset of the 2023 season as red hot as the lasers he was catching off the arm of Josh Allen - making it clear he came to play and leave everything out on the field. However, 2023 was a tale of two Diggs’ - and that's not a reference to Stefon's brother, Trevon, who unfortunately was out for the season prior to their two teams facing off in week 15.
Through the first 6 games of the year, Stefon Diggs was averaging 8 catches, 104 Yards, and nearly a touchdown per game. During that time, the Bills passing offense funneled the ball through Diggs and relied on his ability to make plays all over the field to remain productive. Diggs answered the call and delivered the type of results we've come to expect of him, however just like the team itself, Diggs’ season would fall off pretty harshly following the team's week 6 match up against the Giants. In the 11 remaining games of the season, he failed to produce a single 100-yard outing and would only catch 3 more total touchdowns on the year. It's important to acknowledge that the Bills as a whole struggled offensively between weeks 5 and 10, directly leading to Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey's firing after Buffalo’s week 10, 24-22, loss to Denver - a game in which Diggs only caught 3 passes for a total of 34 yards.
Once Joe Brady stepped in as Interim Coordinator, the Bills offense began healing as a result of changes made to their strategy, changes which resulted in a more balanced attack that trusted the run game and prioritized spreading passes around to a wider selection of targets in the air. This shift meant Diggs was on the field less, in addition to receiving less targets when he was out there running routes. The impact of this change is most plainly obvious when comparing Diggs’ stats from weeks 1-8 to 9-16. While this adjustment ultimately worked out in Buffalo's favor (they would close out the last 7 games of the year with a 6-1 record), it did drive an unfortunate statistical drop for Diggs. Diggs would still flash his elite hands and skills often enough to finish the season respectively though, earning a spot in the pro-bowl as well as finishing #13 in total receiving yards and #7 in total receptions. Tragically, what he will probably be remembered most for this past year (at least in the minds of Bills Mafia) will be the ugly, game-altering drop he had late in the Divisional round matchup against Kansas City.
Throughout 2023 there were all manner of rumors on whether Diggs was playing through an undisclosed injury or experiencing a falling out with the organization, true or not, it would be foolish to claim that Diggs isn't still a premier pass catcher in the NFL. Now a Houston Texan, Stefon Diggs will serve as another weapon for C.J. Stroud to take advantage of in 2024. Assuming he doesn't destroy the culture in Houston by manifesting into some sort of target-hoovering diva-demon like all the tired sports media personalities predict, expect the former Bills Captain to be a key contributor for the Texans next year.

#99 - Lavonte David - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Off-Ball Linebacker

After flirting with retirement and leaving Tampa Bay last offseason, Lavonte David stuck around for another year as a Buccaneer - year 12 (and soon to be year 13). And it paid off, yet again, as David stayed the impactful, complete LB he has been for over a decade.
Playing 956 (98%) defensive snaps, David was impactful across the board, recording 99 tackles (134 combined per pfr) with a 5.7% missed tackle rate, 4.5 sacks with 19 total pressures on only 76 pass rush opportunities, 5 forced incompletions and 1.1 yards per cover snap, and a ridiculous 61 run stops and 17 TFLs. His coverage stats took a bit of a dip from the past, but he was still solid while being incredibly impactful against the run. He's smart - see here how he diagnoses quickly, and beats the blocker to the spot before sticking the TE for a loss. He's exceptional at slithering through OLs - see here and here how he uses his speed and awareness to split through holes in the line and finish the play before it can start. Despite being 33, he's still really fast - if you're late on rotating in pass protection, he's already past you and sacking the QB. And he's always had a nose for the football.
David has been one of my favorite players of the 2010s and it will be sad to see him go. Few LBs are as complete as Lavonte has been for his career - he can do everything you want from an offball LB. Given that he's likely to retire pretty soon, this might be the last time he appears on this list, so I'm gonna break the rules a bit. Lavonte has always stood out statistically in two ways, by forcing fumbles and TFLs. As for FFs, the only LB with more is Cornelius Bennett, who was somewhat of a hybrid rushbacke4-3 OLB. Which means that among true off ball LBs, nobody has forced more fumbles than Lavonte David (tbf only tracked reliably since 1993). Similarly, I've never seen a player as adept at slicing through blockers to make a TFL. He has 160 career TFLs, 9th all time. No other offball LB is in the top 20, and only 4 other LBs have even 100. We might as well start giving out the "Lavonte David award" to whoever leads LBs in TFLs.
Put him in the HOF, cowards.

One word has followed Chubb throughout his career: Dynamic. Coming into his second year in a Dolphins jersey off a five-year, $110 million contract extension (recently restructured in the wake of injury)—Chubb managed to arguably elevate to higher levels of said dynamic play than even in previous seasons that saw him earn Pro Bowl recognition.
In 16 games this season, Chubb managed to thrive in a defense that utilized its front 7 in unconventional manners. Of the 837 snaps Chubb played: 36% of snaps against the rush, 57% against the pass, and 7% in pass coverage (top 20 in EDGE coverage snaps…over a dozen in the slot). Amongst his position, Chubb posted a top 10 pass rush win rate per ESPN along with top 15 pass rush and top 5 coverage grades per PFF respectively. This showed with 11 sacks, 73 total tackles, 44 hurries, and 6 forced fumbles (t-1st in NFL) over the season.
Chubb has an uphill battle going into the next season with a torn ACL acquired in Week 17 against the Ravens. Still in the prime of his career and a leader within the locker room, Chubb certainly seeks to return to this level of form as soon as possible. There's a lot of money on the table for him.

Offensive tackles have always been highly sought after for one important reason; to keep their franchise quarterback healthy. Miller had a slightly different objective; keep Jimmy Garoppolo handsome, it's fine if he misses the season since he was far from a franchise quarterback; but Miller excelled, allowing the least pressures (only 16 pressures per PFF, compared to 18 for Tyron Smith and Trent Williams) out of any premier tackle. While he missed a few games due to a shoulder injury, Miller put in enough work to prove he's a top 100 player in the league.
Always one of the more underappreciated OTs in the league, Miller's impact was best felt by his absence; in the first missed game of his career, Jets defenders got to Aidan O'Connell several times, and the rest of the offensive line just looked flimsy.
Combining agile, quick footwork with enough armpower to seal off some of the biggest men in the NFL, Miller quietly dominated opposing pass rushers, and #74 could even scale multiple levels on the run to help his team generate big plays. Even when it didn't seem like there was much worth fighting for, Miller never gave up hope.

#96 - Dion Dawkins - Buffalo Bills - Offensive Tackle

The shnowman cracks the top 100 this year after a dominating performance in the trenches all season long. While offensive line play can be hard to parse and judge, Dawkins ranked 4th in the league among OTs in pass rush win rate at 93% and only allowed 1 sack. The 30-year-old from New Jersey (famously the home of the Giants and Jets) also provided numerous rare O-line highlights, such as the absolute shnowplow of a block he delivered against the Cowboys’ Damone Clark. His arguably career-best season also saw him named to the Pro Bowl for the third straight year.
The Bills shook up their skill positions on offense this off-season, but the core of the offensive line remains largely the same, and Dawkins will certainly be a leader of the unit. This off-season he signed a 3-year, $60.5 million extension, making him one of the highest-paid offensive linemen in the league. He has played in at least 15 games each season of his career so far, and Buffalo is clearly banking on his production to continue as the rest of the offense takes a new shape.
This year, Dawkins was also Buffalo's nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, due in large part to his foundation Dion's Dreamers, which provides mentoring services to troubled youth. Dawkins has become highly involved in the Buffalo community since being drafted in the 2nd round in 2017.

#95 - James Cook - Buffalo Bills - Running Back

Previous Ranks

Written by: u/packmanwiscy
Being a running back in Josh Allen’s offense is a bit tricky. Allen is virtually a one-man offense, willing to not only sling the rock deep but also bruise out some yards on the ground for himself. For most of Allen’s tenure in Buffalo, Bills running backs haven’t been the most productive, failing to produce a single season with more than 1,100 scrimmage yards. When Buffalo selected James Cook in the 2nd round of the draft last year, they sought to give Allen a workhorse back that could efficiently eat touches and take the load off of Allen just a bit. After a timeshare in the first year, the Bills let Devin Singletary walk and gave Cook the lead back role, and he did not disappoint.
James Cook is a true modern running back. His lightning quick acceleration allows him to hit holes hard and bounce outside if they’re plugged. He’s not the biggest or strongest back, but he can still shrug off arm tackles and churn for extra yards. Pass catching out of the backfield is a key part of his game as well, for a running back he’s very proficient at route running, catching the ball in stride, and running after the catch. He does everything you want out of a running back in the 2020’s NFL, and he rewarded the Bills with the 6th most scrimmage yards in the league. He’ll have to do quite a bit to pass his brother in career stats, but this season was a great start.

#94 - Elgton Jenkins - Green Bay Packers - Offensive Guard

Key Stat:
Written by: u/Letsgomountaineers5
One of the most powerful and positionally versatile offensive linemen in the NFL, Elgton Jenkins’ value to, and dominance on, the Packers OL has more than earned him his place on this list. Elgton is the engine that makes the Packers' run game go. Whether it be trapping, wrapping, or pulling to lead, Elgton is the Packers’ most-pulled lineman and their best (and one of THE best in the league) elevator to the second level on inside zone and duo run plays. Finally able to hunker down and stay, more or less, in the same position for a full season, Elgton was the driving influence on the Packers finishing top 10 in yards per attempt and top half in overall rushing offense, even while being near the bottom of the NFL in called run plays. It has yet to be mentioned how great he was in pass protection this year, as well. With a younger QB who at times held the ball a bit too long, Elgton allowed 0 sacks and had one of the lowest pressure rates allowed in football.
As mentioned before, Elgton is a dominant player in the run game because of the power he executes his blocks. His main weakness throughout his career has been his feet and ability to play in space, but this year he was tasked with reaching, trapping, and pulling to lead more than ever before. And as demonstrated here, he excelled in that role. The Packers were at their best when Jenkins was tasked with doubling and elevating or climbing to the second level immediately. Here, he displaces the LOS, comes off the 3T, and gets to the backer to create a lane for the back to follow into the endzone. In this example, the player engaged with the LT does not cross the LT’s face, so he quickly climbs to backer and creates a cut back lane for the back to gain 6-7 yards. As you can see, much of what the Packers did in the run game centered around 74, and he delivered time and time again.
In the pass game, Elgton used his strong anchor and well-timed striking to shut down every interior defensive lineman he faced. 0 sacks allowed, an absurdly low 4.4% pressure rate allowed, and the sheer dominance he displayed on tape has led many experts to call him a top 3 pass protecting guard in all of football. This is probably his biggest area of growth once making it to the NFL, as he always had the power in his lower half, but has improved his base and hand placement to truly stonewall any bull rushes he faces. And if you try and get cute by swimming or, god forbid, knowing your beat and jumping to swat the ball. Well, you will probably end up on your ass. He rose to the highest levels of competition, repeatedly shutting down (three examples there) the likes of Aaron Donald on a game-by-game basis.
Overall, Elgton Jenkins continues to push the established elite at the guard position, and with continued technical improvement, he looks to rise even higher on this list next season.

#93 - Will Anderson Jr - Houston Texans - EDGE Rusher

Will Anderson. What a full grown manderson. Only a rookie, but already the most electric pass rusher we've had since JJ Watt. His early season stats didn't quite show it, but since week 1 he's performed at a high rate already producing one of the top pressure rates in the league and opening up opportunities for the rest of the banderson. In four months, people went from criticizing Demeco and Caserio for trading a supposedly massive draft haul to Arizona for Anderson to realizing the incredible positive impact that the trade had. All according to planderson.
In his first season, Anderson showcased great pass rush ability, always working his way into the pocket, stuffed the run effectively, and even blocked a field goal; WAJ Swat, amirite? In fact, Lil Jon is rumored to be working on a song called "Turn Down for Wanderson", Daniels music video and all. JJ Watt is one of the all-time greats, but are the Terminator-Megawatt comparisons valid? Can Area 51 stand on the same ground as the Milkman?
(Yes, those are all real nicknames.)
Anderson's rookie year compares nicely with JJ’s , both on stat sheets and the eye test, and both got even better as the year went on; WAJ also walked away with the DROY award (though he didn't have to compete with Von Miller and... Aldon Smith?) Will he follow the same trajectory as JJ? In fact, he doesn't need to. It's fine if he doesn't. We don't need the greatest defensive end of the century, because Will Anderson is already damn good, does his job, and is certain to improve even further. Maybe he'll end with a gold jacket in Canton, maybe he won't, but we don't need that. What expectations we do have of him, he's easily exceeding, and on his current trajectory -- whether JJ-like or not -- he'll continue to exceed them for a long, long, time.

#92 - Deebo Samuel - San Francisco 49ers - Wide Receiver

Deebo Samuel's 2023 season saw him compile 1117 total yards and 12 total touchdowns in 15 games (though that 15 includes a weird injured decoy game with 0 targets, a game with 9 snaps, and a quarter in a meaningless week 18). The best metric to summarize the impact that he has on the team: the 49ers were 11-1 when Deebo played more than 33% of snaps in a game and 1-4 when he did not.
8.8 yards after the catch per reception ranked first among receivers, making this the fourth consecutive season that Deebo holds that distinction (and he was 2nd as a rookie). The ascension of Brandon Aiyuk and full season from offensive player of the year Christian McCaffrey shrunk the role of one of the league's most exciting players, but he made the most of the opportunities he got, ranking 8th in yards per target among players with 1000 yards.
The most memorable game of the year for him is undeniably his hat trick against the Eagles amidst a tense race for the 1 seed, capped off by a 46 yard all-YAC touchdown. Contrary to popular belief, this is actually not how he gets all of his touches. His longest touchdown of the season, a 54 yarder against Seattle, and one of his back shoulder TDs (a new feature off the offense this year!) put the wide in wide back to remind fans (and a couple loud players) that Deebo is more than capable of killing you on traditional routes.
This was the final season for #19 in the Bay Area (because he's changing his jersey number to 1) and he once again left it all out there, putting together enough production to clinch a spot on this list despite a diminished role.

#91 - Justin Simmons - Denver Broncos - Safety

Winners are remembered. The glory of sports comes from hoisting a trophy at the end, and everyone who touches it becomes immortal. To those who never touch it, they can still create a legacy through winning in other ways: big regular season games to get into the playoffs, and perhaps even winning a couple games in the tournament.
In this lens — losers have no space. Those who come up short get nothing. Sports are zero-sum. There are always winners and losers. Every immortality comes with a death.
Justin Simmons played 118 games with the Denver Broncos since 2016. In his rookie year, the team went 9-7 but missed the playoffs. In every subsequent season, the Broncos had a losing record. Despite his All-Pro play, Simmons never played in a meaningful football game in late December or January. In a team with a history of winning — Justin Simmons was a loser.
A ball on a memorial in 2021. Spending a weekend at charity events in the city months after getting cut. Maybe the problem is the binary. Pursuit of immortality driving everyone mad to the point of blindness. There is the trophy and that matters, but there are more things in life too. There are the connections. There are the emotions.
Justin Simmons never won a big game in Denver. He never played in one. But in 2023 — as he had done throughout his career — he proved himself worthy of immortality in the Ring high above.

2024.06.07 20:03 payalnegi7505 Navigating Academia: Your Roadmap to Effective Assignment Help Solutions

In the vast landscape of academia, students often find themselves navigating through a myriad of assignments, essays, and projects, each demanding their time, effort, and intellectual prowess. In this journey, one essential tool that students often seek is "assessment help." Whether it's deciphering complex instructions, understanding grading criteria, or simply needing guidance on where to begin, effective assignment help solutions can be the compass that guides students through their academic endeavors.
Understanding the Assignment:
The first step in navigating academia effectively is to understand the assignment thoroughly. This involves dissecting the instructions provided by the professor or instructor. Many students stumble at this stage, either misinterpreting the requirements or overlooking crucial details. Seeking assessment help allows students to clarify any ambiguities and gain a clear understanding of what is expected of them.
Research and Resources:
Once the assignment is understood, the next challenge lies in gathering relevant resources and conducting research. Here, assessment help comes into play by providing students with access to a wealth of academic resources, databases, and libraries. Additionally, expert guidance can assist students in narrowing down their focus, selecting credible sources, and structuring their research effectively.
Writing and Formatting:
With research in hand, the task of writing and formatting the assignment can seem daunting. From crafting a compelling thesis statement to ensuring proper citation and formatting styles, there are numerous pitfalls that students may encounter. Assessment help services offer invaluable support in this regard, providing assistance with writing, editing, and formatting to ensure that the final product meets academic standards and expectations.
Critical Analysis and Review:
Beyond the writing process, effective assignment help solutions also facilitate critical analysis and review. Experienced tutors and mentors can provide feedback on draft submissions, offering insights into areas of improvement and suggesting revisions to enhance the quality of the assignment. This iterative process of review and refinement is essential for academic success and is made more accessible through assessment help services.
Time Management and Deadlines:
In the fast-paced world of academia, time management is crucial. Students often juggle multiple assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities, leading to stress and burnout. Assessment help solutions not only provide assistance with individual assignments but also help students manage their time effectively. By setting realistic goals, creating personalized study plans, and adhering to deadlines, students can navigate through their academic responsibilities with greater ease and efficiency.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, navigating academia can be a challenging yet rewarding journey for students. Effective assignment help solutions, centered around the keyword "assessment help," serve as invaluable resources in this endeavor. From understanding the assignment to conducting research, writing, formatting, and receiving feedback, these services offer comprehensive support at every stage of the academic process. By leveraging assessment help solutions, students can overcome obstacles, enhance their learning experience, and achieve academic success.

2024.06.07 19:10 mike_kim1 Chinese story

Okay, I read it in 6th grade... And it was about a poor Chinese farmer, and his family. There was a foot binding, and when the father died, his kids sold the land off and used it for opium and i think they sold their sister off at the end of the book...
I don't think it is spring moon. I think it had something like land in the title.
Edit: it is the good earth, thank you!

2024.06.07 19:03 taylorzversion13 Goodbye I guess?

I dont really know what I'm going to do but I'm set on doing it. My whole life I've refused to make plans for my future because "ill be gone by then." I'm tired of people saying it'll be better once I'm on my own, because it won't. It's not like I hit high-school and decided it was too hard, I've been suicidal since the 2nd grade and my first attempt was in 4th. I am just built this way. I'm not going to get better so I might aswell just get it over with. 16 or 30, it doesn't really matter when I do it I guess and I'd rather not live my life waiting to die.
I'm doing great in school, im on track to graduate in three years instead of the five that I was told after I failed freshman year (in residential and behavioral unit most of the year.) I've just found a happy relationship, I have a stable job finally, and I'm about to get my license. I feel like it seems absurd that I would choose now of all points but I have to do it now before I sabotage it like I always do. As much of an oxymoron as it sounds im 200 lbs and anorexic. I developed bulimia in 6th grade and no one questioned me then because no one saw it as a real problem. They sent me to rehab and them pretended it never happened. But I'm a fucking joke now, and I cant stand it. My girlfriend thinks I'm fat and my ed is pathetic and my family doesn't care or just doesn't notice.
I honestly just think it'll be for the best. If anyone has any methods please let me know, I've tried overdosing mainly but I'm really open to anything. Death scares me more than im willing to admit but its really my only option now. Who knows, maybe I'll chicken out but God I hope not.
I'm so sorry to anybody who's reading this, please take care <3

I've noticed that there's a lot of buzzing on the B string, even when the action is high, while the other strings are fine. i took a look at the nut, I found that the slot for the 6th string is much lower than the others. As a 17-year-old with limited financial resources, I'm seeking affordable solutions to fix this issue. Could you suggest any practical remedies?

2024.06.07 18:52 ThrowRA_049 Dumbest in my school, what do I do?

Throwaway because I know I'm gonna get ridiculed for this. (Also posted this on 6thForm but it's awaiting approval).
I tried really really hard in my GCSEs to get grades I was happy with (I got 6s, 7s and even two 8s). I was so proud that I got two 8s because I was predicted mostly 6s. I was even more happy when I managed able to get into a grammar school with these grades. But here, it turns out that everyone else found GCSEs really easy and my hard work was lackluster because I could have pushed for a 9.
Now, I'm in Year 12 doing mocks. In the last mocks I got UDC, I studied harder for the U subject and later got a D. Embarrassing. I can already hear you laughing. I am aware my grades are bad. I am doing mocks right now and I am not going to get good grades, I can just tell. I'm doing better than last time because I am using different studying techniques, but it doesn't matter because everyone else is doing better than last time too. After every exam, everyone cheers and talks about how EASY it was whereas I feel like a dumbass because I found it hard.
I am accepting that some people are just smart and some people are just idiots and I am an idiot but that's okay. I don't want to be a rich millionaire, I don't want to own a business, I don't want to be a doctor nor a lawyer or a scientist. I am okay doing a 9-5 in retail or an office if that means that I can drop the stress. But obviously, I want to do well for myself so that I can open doors to more opportunities. I'll be happy getting CCCs and I'd be extremely happy if I can get BBBs. But what's the point in aiming for Bs if by the time I reach uni, everyone will be getting A*s and I'll be the dumbest once again?
I am so far from the goal. I don't like being in a grammar school anymore, everyone is too smart and posh and I'm always expected to be the dumbest. I'm not going to be too detailed because I don't want someone from my school to see this. But, we got the results from our previous practice paper and as we were leaving class, someone said to their friend (paraphrasing) "You couldn't have done that bad, unless you got worse than [Me]." It was just embarrassing. What's the point in trying hard if I will always be stupid? Even if I improve it will never be seen as good enough unless it's an A or a B. I don't fit in here. I am not posh. I am not gifted. I am not motivated and academically driven. I don't like the subjects I do. Oxbridge to me is a synonym of Eton College; unattainable and not at all within my reach. I didn't even think it was possible to get into Oxbridge until I came to this school and it's the only thing everyone talks about. What do I do?

2024.06.07 18:49 DropMinimum1991 I'm not normal

M 19, This is my deepest secret I never told anyone around me about it. I think I've been addicted to porn since I was a child, like 4-6 years old. I watched many soft core porn videos on YouTube (there were so much of that stuff back then) on my mom's phone. AND I GOT BONER, but I don't know anything about why it got better. I even asked my mom why my PP sometimes gets harder, and she said with an angry tone "Are you watching or thinking about women?" I'm scared of my mom, so I just lie about it. One time I got caught, and it showed up in her phone's YouTube history. She then asked me if it was me who watched it or not, and again, I just lied. After that, my mom rarely gives me her device anymore.
Skip to when I was in 6th or 7th grade, my parents gave me a phone. At that time, I knew about porn, but it's really disgusting for me to see someone dick for the first time . I just loved to see naked woman video porn at that time. When I was alone, I watched it for hours, but not fapping. One of my friends told me if I "shake" my PP, it would feel really good, so I did it, but I couldn't grab my dick with my hand because it was so small and not grown yet. I just used my thumb and index finger to jerk off. It was my first ejaculation, but I think it was not sperm because it was so clear and watery, but it was still slippery. After that, this addiction started...
When I was in 8th grade, this addiction was so bad. At this time, I have a sleeping problem. I'm always thinking about sex or naughty things before sleep to get me sleep. If I don't do it I can't sleep. Because of this, I have a really dirty mind. I literally fap and watch porn once a day every week, and it always comes out with clear, watery, slippery content. There is a time when I don't fap, but it usually lasts 1 week. This habit continued in high school but in high schools the actual sperm are come out when i ejaculate not clear watery anymore, I got a new fetish like **SM, and I started looking at women as property or objects.
Now that I'm finished high school and have a full-time offline job, my habit still continues today, and I sometimes fantasize about naughty things to woman coworkers around me.I'm still fantasizing about naughty things before sleep. When I'm in my room alone, I always have an urge to fap and I do it. I watch porn for hours sometimes if I have a I have a day off and I don't have anything to do. I literally watch porn and fap all day. I do edging so it lasts really longer.But now I can't get enough of just one cum. I do like at least two cum at this time, sometimes five times in a single session, and after waking up, my hand always gets hurt.More things that I'm concerned about are when I feel sleepy and urge at the same time to just fap even when I'm feeling really sleepy. That things disrupts my sleep cycle. I always feel sleepy when I go to the office in the morning, and so many times I think I will die because I feel very sleepy while riding a motorcycle (the distance between my house and office is 40 minutes).
There is a time when my PP hurts after I cum, but the next day, I'm still doing it.
There are so many times I'm trying to stop, but it never works.I'm deleting all of my prn collection, but when I feel the urge, I'm trying to find all of them again. On my phone, I think 70% of them were porn :( Sometimes because feeling so hory i buy OF content with price that is enough to feed me for one whole week :( . After i c*m im regrets doing that. This cycle always repeating for me :(
Note: I just moved to another town to work and study, so I don't really have any friends, and I'm scared to make one because I think I have low self-esteem and am an am an introvert. Maybe after I go to college this August, I will have a few of them.
I never really go out much because dont have any friends, i only go out when going to work. All of my coworkers are 26+ years old, so I feel like I can't get along with them.
Thanks for reading my life story. Sorry if there is a mistake in my English.
Do you guys have any advice for my situation right now?
Is it normal to get boner when seeing women when still a kid?

2024.06.07 18:29 Coach55_dualsport Resource Math Classroom Curriculum for Middle School Students

Hi!
I teach in a high needs title 1 school as a special education math teacher. I am the only math class that my 6th-8th graders have. What curriculum does a wonderful job of hitting the basics, that our lower babies are missing, but also giving them exposure to grade level appropriate things? County currently uses Engage NY and it's not feasible for them. My students need many repetitions, hands on equipment, and lots and lots of practice. Thanks for your insight!

i’m currently in gr 10 and i recently had a chem test that i absolutely failed. i have a good grade in science and done well in other units but for some reason chem really got to me even though everyone else did fine. i’m lowkey scared because next year i’m taking gr 11 and i heard it’s pretty difficult.

Hello! I just got a call today for an interview at middle school here in Texas next Monday for 6th grade
I am absolutely terrified lol. I would be a first year teacher and have only interviewed for a kindergarten and 2nd grade position so far. My main problems are that I have no idea what to expect question wise nor do I have the traditional experience as I am coming from an ACP program.
Any tips/advice and interview questions you guys have come across would be really helpful and appreciated! Everyone I’ve spoken to has just said “idk I don’t like middle school” yikes

2024.06.07 18:14 gemmadaniel My best friends mean the absolute whole world to me

My (19f) closest friends (19f, 19f, 19nb) have been with me for a long time. I’ve known one since kindergarten and the other two since 6th grade. We’ve all remained pretty close and have taken some hard hits together.
In middle school, each year we had different ‘friends’ that caused problems, mainly the impacts of their mental health affecting us. Then the other person who was in our group moved halfway across the country and then after a year or so, they stopped talking to us.
In high school, we had a normal first semester of freshman year, then the pandemic hit. We went back sophomore year with all the masks, bleaching desks after each class, plexiglass dividers at lunch tables, you know the works.
But on November 11th, I became paralyzed by a benign spinal tumor. The back pain I had leading up to it was excruciating, evidently it was a little tumor the size of the tip of my pinky finger destroying my spine from within. It completely destroyed my T2 vertebra, resulting in a full corpectomy, damaging T1-T4. I am a T4 incomplete paraplegic. This means I have no voluntary movement but some sensation. I can feel pressure and pain, but not temperature.
I spent 2 months in the hospital (complications) and 2 months in rehab, all during the pandemic. This included turning 16 in quarantine as a staff member tested positive for covid. As a birthday gift, my friends got me a build a bear raccoon named Raccoon Reacts, an inside joke.
Before the paralysis, I had a group of friends i’ve been referring to as ‘the guys’ since I was the only girl (no romantic feelings, they were like brothers to me.) I met them freshman year through shared classes and we’d discord call almost daily. Those calls helped me get through the hospital and rehab. My first outing after paralysis was a movie with them. I’d invite them over to hang out.
I went back to school that fall, junior year. My counselor was able to make my lunch time the same as theirs so i’d have friends to sit with. After lunch, they’d come with me in the elevator, even if their class wasn’t upstairs.
Throughout junior year, I started to notice that I stopped getting invited to things. I don’t know if they thought it would hurt more to be invited but not able to go due to inaccessibility of people’s houses, but I would’ve preferred being invited anyway, that would mean they wanted me there, even if I couldn’t be. Speaking to a mutual, he said he noticed it too but didn’t say anything since we weren’t that close.
Senior year, they stopped responding to messages. I would see them in the halls and would wave or smile at them and some would do the same. One of them kept his eyes forward. I’m not hard to miss and he was tall.
I still have all of their birthdays on my calendar.
I lost my ex best friend and ex boyfriend the same month, ending friendship after a fight and getting dumped.
I felt so alone for so long. But my best friends helped pick up the pieces, offering support and love. We hadn’t been talking a ton when the problems w the guys happened, but one day I reached out, missing them, and it was like we never lost contact.
It was back to sending memes to each other, talking about our day, etc.
They’ve been so supportive when things have gone wrong for me, and I’ve been supportive the same.
Now that we’re on summer break for some (I graduated with a one year diploma in pharmacy technician at a community college), it’s just working around work schedules to hang out.
We’ve gone to the zoo, saw movies, now we’re planning a puppy play date with our dogs.
They’ve been with me since day one and I don’t know what I would do without them. They’ve shown me true friendship, unlike the guys.

2024.06.07 17:46 Neat-Grapefruit2596 AN HONEST REVIEW OF TKS (The knowledge society)

This year, I was a part of the 2023–2024 TKS Virtual Innovate program and I was a sophomore in high school. It was a ride, but I’m here to tell you the actual things I got out of it. And the things that I wasted my time on.
Welcome to my real, unfiltered review of TKS. The pros, cons, and takeaways are listed at the end of each section.
Note, I’m not continuing with Activate, TKS’s second year program.

Interest in TKS:

Before TKS, I wasn’t really doing anything in the science/tech space. Sure, I was interested in the brain and curing cancer, but I didn’t really know where to start. I started seeing TKS ads on Instagram, like a lot. As I clicked around a bit more, I was like “hey, this looks cool!”
As I look back now, TKS is a sort of middleman. It was super helpful in my case, because I had no idea what I was interested in or what I wanted to do. It gives you that structure so that you can start building. But if you already know, and you’re already building some things, it’s useless. TKS really only gives you that community and then expects YOU to do the rest. They’re not going to give you the internship, they’re not going to connect you with the person that’s hiring at NASA. It’s up to you to “hustle” but you have their structure to help get you there.
***** YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. *****

Sessions + Focus:

Once a week, you get on a 3 hr “session,” which is basically a meeting with all of the people in your cohort to come together to talk about “X topic.” Some of our session topics this year were AI, BCI’s, learning about the bottom billion in the world, and food tech. The structure of the session GENERALLY goes as follows:
45 min presentation from your director to learn about it, followed up by some sort of research sprint (this goes ~10:30–11). And then you have discussion rooms and you talk about mindsets. You’re expected to go through material before the session, and sometimes that ranges from articles to read, videos to watch, or papers to go through.
The resources that they’re giving you can be found on the internet. If you have the drive to go do it yourself, then TKS kinda loses its purpose. But the thing is that most people don’t have this drive.
You also complete a focus, which is basically like a specialized set of projects you do throughout the year. First, you write an article (Learn), then you copy an already existing project (Replicate 1), then you copy another already existing project, but generally these are harder (Replicate 2), and finally you come up with a new idea (Create). Most people do 1 focus, I only knew 1 person in our year that did 2. It’s really helpful for building out your portfolio but again, it’s all self-guided. If you don’t work on your Rep 2 for 3 months, sure, the directors will reach out once, twice, but they’re not going to be hounding you, and since there are no grades, it’s really up to you to get it done.
For me, the structure of doing this was super helpful; I could do things when I was expected to do them so I liked that.

People + Directors:

There’s not much to say about the people, they were all pretty nice and open to talking. I think the only thing is people in TKS don’t share what they’re doing because they think that people are going to steal the opps from them. It’s kinda crazy now that I’m thinking about it, but people worked heads-down for the majority of the time.
These were real parts of reflections:
ex) start up pcb squishmallow, got pln on airchat, finished baller presentation → not sure what any of that just meant, I didn’t even know that pln was an abbreviation.
ex) got invited by [bob] to meetup, got interview for [zg] (yes it was two random letters), got [tina] to make me a custom set.
ex) invited to yale xrp, gotta book tix → i’m not going to steal your tickets if you tell me what the yale xrp is.
As for the directors, again, it really depends on which ones you get. Some of them are more technical, some more reflective, I think mine was a mix of both. The important thing to know here is that they give coaching, not opportunities. In coaching, we talk about mindsets like being an activator, done>perfect, and how to get stuff done quicker. They also encourage you to make and share opportunity sheets with them to keep you on track.
Takeaway: Directors are awesome, but you need to treat them like mentors, not teachers. Share what you’re doing with them, they’ll give you advice, and then take it. It’s pretty good advice.

The questionable bits of TKS, imo:

TKS was great and all this year, but towards the end, I started seeing why some people call it a scam. And even though I didn’t really feel this way, I wanted to share some of my thoughts/opinions.
  1. TKS markets itself to make you a better person, and the Nathoos specifically say that TKS is not just to get into a good uni. They’ve even said a couple of times in voice notes that it’s okay to not study for tests if you’re building projects. Their focus is on building and bettering yourself to become a unicorn person. So how does this add up? **the image doesnt shot but its basically a ss of a marketer from tks convincing you to enroll bc its a good opp for uni.
  2. They’re still marketing people from 2017.
I don’t know why this raises such a red flag in my head but it does. It’s 2024. So why are the only people on their website people from 2021, latest?? I knew no one from Innovate that got a speaking opportunity this year or even a very prestigious internship (there was one person who secured it @ Nasa, but again, I wouldn’t know since no one shares…) so, that’s just my two senses in that.

So let’s recap key takeaways (and if there’s only one section of the article that you read, read this).

  1. TKS is the right fit if you don’t know what to do, if you want structure, or if you want that extra push to do more. If you’re already doing stuff and have a general idea that a) you need to build projects, b) you need to talk to people, then it’s not for you.
  2. You get what you put in. If you do one outreach message every two weeks and don’t build through your focus, why are you even here? TKS will NOT say: “Hey! There are 10 AI internships being given out to innovates at Tesla! Apply here!” TKS itself won’t help you get into uni, it’s the projects you build and what comes out of them which will.
  3. Directors and people in TKS are resources, should you decide to do the program. Talk to your directors, make friends, and you’ll have a good time. Have a plan for what you want to get out of it.
  4. It’s REALLLY expensive, and you have to have a good reason for financial aid otherwise they give you like $200 off…..if you’re not ready to fully commit and prioritize TKS over school, I would not recommend it. The work I did with TKS, between meetings, projects, articles, and outreach took 3hrs of my day. Luckily, I barely had any homework, so that wasn’t a huge deal in my case.

The final verdict?

TKS is worth it if you need a push to do something. Every single resource available to students in TKS is also available to you on the internet, but TKS pushes you a bit harder to build because you’re surrounded by a community that is also hustling. Hope that helps.

Gold on Fire: Consider This Junior with Near-Term Production Plans (CSE:ELEM, OTC:ELMGF)
Goldman Sachs recently announced a very positive forecast for the gold market. With prices at an all-time high and already surpassing Goldman Sachs previous forecast of $2300/troy ounce, the bank revised its year-end price target up to $2700/troy ounce. The report characterized gold as being in an ‘unshakeable bull market.’
One way to capitalize on the trend is to buy stock in publicly traded gold mining companies. These can generally be categorized in three tiers: the majors, mid-level producers, and junior miners. The majors are the Barricks, Newmonts, and Kinrosses of the world, producing millions of ounces/year and looking for acquisitions to bolster capacity. The mid-level producers are smaller companies usually focused on one or two projects, and are often acquired by majors. The stock price of producers is generally tied to the price of gold, give or take some variables, so investors can usually have a pretty good idea of the upside potential.
For those investors looking to take a chance on higher upside with greater risk, junior miners would be the place to investigate. They are in some ways the lifeblood of the industry, planting stakes and making claims and constantly looking for the next big deposit. There are many, many companies operating on this level, and not many of them will strike it rich. Occasionally though, an exploration company comes along with a lower risk profile and a potentially higher chance of success.

Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) (OTC:ELMGF) (FSE:7YS) looks like one such company. Element79 owns a gold and silver mine in Peru, the Lucero Property, that was officially in production as recently as 2005. The Shila Mine, Lucero’s former name, was one of the highest-grade underground mines in Peru’s history at grades averaging 19.0g/t Au Equivalent (“Au Eq”) (14.0 g/t gold and 373 g/t silver). In its past 5 years of production ending in 2005, it produced on average 40,000oz+/yr.
Element79 CEO James Tworek discusses the history of the Lucero Property and the company’s plans to get the site back into production in the very near future.
Current Status of the Lucero Property
The Lucero Property is currently permitted to generate 350 tonnes of ore per day. Element79 is in the midst of extensive exploration work on the property, to confirm and prove the resource in the ground and accurately map the extent of the existing underground work. Since the mine was shut down in 2005 due to economic considerations, local artisanal miners have been (and are currently) working the property. Element79 acquired the mine in 2022, and has since undertaken a community outreach program to create a positive working relationship with the town of Chachas and the local miners.
The company would rather bring current production under the umbrella of its legal mining rights by hiring the workers, as opposed to getting into a legal battle with the community that would necessarily be providing the labor base as Element79 develops the project further. It’s the tail end of the rainy season, and the company is in negotiations to formalize an agreement with the local miners so that the current 70-100 tonnes/week of ore being produced on site can be legalized under Element79’s mineral leases.
Element79 has an LOI with a local mill site to process ore from Lucero once production gets going again. The initial Pilot Program outlines the milling of 200 tons/day on average, which is kind of a baseline production level the company plans to reach this year.
Where Lucero is Headed
Element79 has been processing and announcing positive results from its 2023 exploration program. Through extensive mapping and channel sampling, the company is getting a more complete understanding of the property’s existing workings and the potential to expand exploration far beyond the current area.
With the rainy season ending, Element79 is planning an extensive drill program that utilizes the information gathered to-date. The goal of the drilling will be to update the resource on the property to current NI 43-101 standards. The Shila/Lucero mine has never been explored with modern techniques. It remains to be seen what the results will be, but the area offers plenty of potential.
“Lucero offers a rare opportunity to explore for not only an underground high-grade low sulphidation system but potentially an open pit-able high sulphidation system as well,” stated Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P.Geo, Director of Element79 Gold at the time of the acquisition. “This project has never experienced modern exploration techniques and I am very confident that significant gold-silver resources are to be found.”
In preparation for the anticipated re-opening and expansion of the Lucero Property, Element79 has assembled a team of executives and advisors with extensive experience creating, developing, and operating actual mines. Many junior miners are understandably staffed by exploration experts, and while Element79 employs those types of people the Lucero Property requires a different skillset.
Here, Element79 CEO James Tworek highlights some team members with operational expertise.
The Big Picture
Rare for a junior miner, Element79 is on track to create revenue via mineral production in the very near future. Profits from even the initial limited operations planned in the next few months can go a long way toward funding further exploration and development of a much larger operation should the resource prove out.
Element79 is also expecting to receive CAD$4.4 million from the sale of its Maverick Springs Project in Nevada, along with CAD$3.5 million worth of shares resulting from the deal. The sale is expected to close on or before July 21, 2024. By flipping the Maverick Springs Project, acquired in 2021, Element79 is creating additional revenue to fund expansion of the Lucero Property.
Junior miners represent the highest upside potential in the mining sector, combined with the highest risk. With its permitted and past-producing Lucero Property in current informal production mode and promising assay results pointing toward confirmation of a significant resource, Element79 Gold Corp.may have found a way to significantly de-risk its investment. Stay tuned for more news as the company kicks developments into high gear.
