If I do a weighted avg grade which is more accurate it cracks 7Moz.

More data will help but you can see where this is headed.

There's a good chance that it's mineralised from the Tabocal workings (3km East) to the Daniel workings in the west - that's 5km of strike, then there's the additional 5km NNE above the dog-leg with gold in the soils. The dolerite is minimum 600m wide and the holes are mineralised to EOH. How deep do you think a dolerite 10km long and 1km wide extends vertically? Then add in Ema which is up to 2km wide and 20km long.

I posted some very, very large numbers with lots of zeros a year ago. Back then I used a ore:waste factor of 2-10% to stop the zeros from filling up the page. Looking at the drilling results I'd say that I was being way too conservative. Right now that ore:waste factor is looking like it's a lot closer to 100% than 10%.

This is a fun way to put it: This drilling has tested 0.0062% of a given volume of dolerite 1km wide x 30km long x 1km deep, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves....

For the dolerite between Daniel and Tabocal workings (5km x 600m) to a depth of 200m (1.8Bt), drilling results from the 4 holes has tested 0.3% of the volume. Now solve for 100% of the volume, i.e. divide 7Moz by 0.3%. I do love playing with numbers when they are measuring ounces of gold!

Thanks Midnight
Thats way too much for my brain to comprehend. Lets try not get too far ahead of ourselves or ill explode.
Its just one foot in front of the other at the moment.
