Joyce and  Olympic Swimming pools

Just to give you some ideas of the value in something everyone can recognise. If the grades (low end) all come out the way the prospectors were indicating in 2010 . . here's the output for a shallow open cut. 

Joyce if she was an Open Cut - Olympic Swimming pool size.  10 lanes, 2 metres deep and 50 metres long.

		Len	Wid	Dep	Cmtrs	SG	Perc	Pure tonnes	$per tonne	Total Value
1	Cobalt	50	10	2	1000	2	0.004	8	49000	$392,000.00
2	Copper	50	10	2	1000	2	0.005	10	6600	$66,000.00
3	Nickle	50	10	2	1000	2	0.002	4	15000	$60,000.00
4	Gold	50	10	2	1000	2	0.00001	0.02	64000000	$1,280,000.00
5										$1,798,000.00

Take the gold out as that blows the number away, but a shallow tiny swimming pool is half a mil in minerals.

And there is much more than an olympic pool in there . .Gets viable fast in a multi metallic dig.
