Message: Another way to look at lens a b and c

Sorry guys and girls, I made a mistake on that post.

The diameter of the pencil of lens b would be 84 meters (y is for radius, not diameter)

The diameter of the pencil of lens c would be 92 meters.

Glorieux

Here is the original post for reference:

Let's assume the worse here and say we have hit 2 pencil deposits (cylindrical) and our interval lengths are our z dimension. In this scenario, we have x=y. Let's also say that lens b and c have the same volume as lens a.

Volume of a cylinder=piex (y squared) xz

991 237=3.14 x (y squared) x 178

y=46.03 for lens B

y=42.11 for lens C

So Hoov, I know we do not know but for me, the odds of drilling to 950 meters or so and managing to hit the whole length of 2 pencil deposits that would be aligned and only had 46 m in dia and 42 m in dia seems statistically almost impossible.

The other theory that I have that I am looking forward to having proved or disproved is that these lenses are actually connected. We drilled this hole 49 along the foot/hanging wall and hit those 2 fabulous intervals going in and out of the granodiorite 5 times If we could move that drill 20 meters from that wall, would this be all one long deposit?? I agree we cannot say fat deposit as we have no idea on girth but you have to admit the length is impressive and it will not take much width to triple our current 43-101.
