Gold tonnage

posted on Dec 02, 2009 05:00PM

The central section of the GM is in my estimate about 600 m long, possibly 200 m deep, with an average width of 1 meter. Assuming a rock density of 3 tonnes per cubic meter, we get 360,000 tonnes of ore. If we use an average grade of 8 grams per tonne we get about 93,000 ounces of gold. I have a tough time finding any more; if they are doing a 43-101 of that central section only(which is enough work by itself) it would be very hard to come up with 100,000+ ounces. I am surely off here and there, but this is clearly not yet a million ounce deposit.
