kil, i was just throwing out an example and hoping someone else would do the leg work (i'm good at that) so dont use my numbers.

the actual surface area of drilling is probably much much larger than 500M X 500M, also, i was only looking at about 75M depth, the actual average was 75-100M. this will undoubtely grow as they have already shown some good mineralization up to 400M. i'd like to know how deep this years holes will be? by the looks of the new drill maps they might be going all the way (1000M?).

as far as specific gravity goes you're talking to the wrong guy. i was under the assumption that a cubic meter was approx 1 ton?

in any case, if they can just pull off 25Mil tons at 2gr/t we'll be looking at a over 1.5mil oz.. i still think 30-40mil tons is possible within a year. that would be nice...
