TO ALL:
The specific gravity of the Diablillos rock is around 2.5, as it has erosion voids etc. (Typical SG of rock in Timmins is 2.7, and it is a more competent harder rock, with less voids.) A cubic meter would then weigh 2.5 tonnes(2.5 metric tonnes of 1000 kilograms[2200 Lbs])
In pounds a cubic foot of water is 62.4 lbs, and so 2.5= 156 Lbs cubic foot. and also 12.82 cubic feet per ton(short of 2000 lbs)
1 troy oz/ton = 34.29 grams/tonne
1PPM(part per million) = 1gram/tonne
1PPB(part per billion) = .001 gram/tonne
With this data you can calculate values of sections etc. It is easier in Metric.
