Well that is theoretical. Nobody knows the richest moly vein in the world in fact, except a second-tier geological angel who was kicked out of a Brazilian geology school in the 19th century for cheating on his claim salting exam and subsequently run over by a busload of Yankee tourists when he stumbled out of an organic juicing bar. (see Innocents Abroad, M. Twain). He had always mumbled about a fabled far off valley of pure moly, when he was in the school cafeteria and this was picked up by the secret police who were paid by the evil governor to attend all mining and geology schools ostensibly to ferret out opium dens, but actually to get something on the prospectors and stake all the gold and silver in the kingdom. He was thought to be a hoax until it was discovered that in his village the people made pencils from molybdenum because they did not have graphite and this stuff was laying around everywhere in a certain grotto in a certain valley. So it is said. He had written the exam he failed in script created by one of these moly pencils. Despite torturing the natives for weeks, and installing a free liquor co-operative not a single one would give up the secret of the molybdenum cave. His spirit may be invoked by a complex prayer in a non indo-european language with real 20 year aged rose-wood prayer beads (some say walnut works too if properly stained) and a sterling silver spanish crucifix. You must drink red wine to symbolize the blood spilled in the bus "accident". There are many high grade veins in Quebec in the Renfrew area, some in the Kenora area, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury-Timmins camp. The very narrow structures often run 2-3% for several tens of feet, up to a 100 or more, discontinuously. A few hold up not bad under drilling. More often the spectacular pegmatite and porphyry related veins cannot be adequately established in grade. They look hellishly rich by eye, but the great big whackin' chunks* are no guide to grade unless you are a Chinese miner and have hand mucked about 35,000 tons of the stuff and have slept with the assayer's mistress for the past ten years. * porphyritic blebs of MoS2 larger than say one of Dick Cheney's quail eggs. High grade is high grade. It is all relative to experience. It never holds for very far. EC:<-}
