YEs the 4.5Moz Au resource eq is a monster that is without the Ag also , mind you there is normally lower recoveries with a stock metal concentrate then having to smelter with more losses , than with your standard gold CIP recovery , therefore the 4.5Moz eq would be about right .
ALso obviously it is inluding a large $ of inferred in that 4.5M oz with the reserve coming in at around 1.4M oz Au eq

@plough you can't just compare lead to gold like this as both the mining and processing is much simpler. I really recommend you take a close look at the economics of mining Abra as they really are amazing.
