New Discovery Resulting in a 20KM Mineralized Gold Belt
Okay.
So you're saying we might have 10M ounces in an area that is just 1000mx600m?
And you're saying it's within a 17km belt.
Hmmm, how wide is that belt?
This is a measurement that is not often referenced here, and judging by the claims map on the website it looks like the average width of this belt is 4km conservatively.
So, area in which this 10M ounces resides is 1000mx600m = 600,000 m2
That works out to be 16.67 ounces of gold per m2.
The entire belt represents 17km x 4km.
Total area of this belt is 17000mx4000m = 68,000,000 m2
Factor the entire belt of 68,000,000 m2 and 16.67 ounces of gold per m2 and it looks like we could have up to...yep..inconceivable.
68,000,000 x 16.67 = 1,113,560,000 ounces of gold?
Help me. What am I doing wrong here please? I'm being serious.
