Thanks for that history Rawk. Great post. I am one of those that, being from the old school, has a little problem converting from oz (troy) to grams in my head. It is always more effort than I want to exert. So, for the newbies and lazy oldies like me, here is your history in grams as well.
- Dec 2005 1.36 opt= 42.30 grams / tonne
- Jan 2006 1.56 opt=48.56 g/t
- Aug 2006 .88 opt=27.37 g/t
- Sept 2006 3.73 opt=116.01 1.48opt=46.03 2.75opt=85.53
- Jan 2007 .76opt=23.63 g/t
- Mar 2007 2.08 opt=64.69 g/t .97 opt=30.17 gpt
- April 2007 17.24 opt=536.22 gpt
- July 2007 .93 opt=28.93 gpt
- Jan 2009 11.22 opt=348.98 gpt .79 opt=24.57 g/t .99 opt=30.79 gpt
- .34opt=10.57 gpt
- Feb 2009 .94 opt=29.23 gpt
- Sept 2009 .92 opt=28.61 gpt
- Nov 2009 5.84 opt=181 gpt
- Dec 2009 2.02opt=62.83 gpt
- Feb 2010 3.74opt=116.33 gpt
You will note that I hi-lited the highs, and the lowest I underlined as well.
My point is this----when the calculations were done by Bow, he purpously went low low low to keep it realistic, and went with 1 gram per tonne for the calculation. Just look what the real grams per tonne are on our mined samples. Even our lowest sample is 10.57 grams per tonne.
We sometimes lose our perspective by having to do the calculations and conversions, and thanks to Rawkstar and our hub leaders for their DD, we can put a realistic spin on just what we do have. AND as Rawkstar pointed out, this is only on the first 5000 acre parcel. We still have 12,000 additional acres to do this analysis on. Hope this helps some of the newcomers as well as some of the oldies that hate calculating. Long SLI.
