Between 2 and 3% nickel is outstanding and I'd be very happy with that kind of grade and a good sized ore body. Given the number of holes they've poked into DE2 (with good hit ration) it's not likely to be a small deposit.

Guessing at grade from a visual inspection I'd think to be next to impoossible. Just too many variables and assay could indeed, imho, be higher than 2/3%. Not counting on it but not counting it out either. Depending upon a lot of other factors there's no saying 1% or less wouldn't be economic.

As other forum members have said previoiusly, 'it's like waiting for Christmas'. May we have a lot of them this year.
