No. The paint line fault is productive, but vein continuity is limited. You may get 700 feet in length of productive vein as they did at the Pan Empire and Sand River but that is about it. If they get plentiful folding an repetition there is a slim chance for some such structures. BUT, the longest continuously gold mineralized vein in the world is 5280 feet at the Croinor Pershing PQ., so you are asking for quite a lot aren't you? The putative 700 foot long vein is actually a series of short folds that all in all still plunges at 38 degrees in general. This would mean that its vertical height to the hinge line is maxium 546 feet. That is what you mine. If you mine to 2000 feet in depth the maximum tons for such a vein at 8 foot width is (3248 X 546 X )/12 or 1,182,468 tons. That is more or less what the Mcleod Mosher was. All the mines there were one prolific hinge line or fold nose plunging to hell. I know one which they abandoned because of synclinal out burst ground problems that ran 0.60 ounces per ton. Today it could be mined by top slicing and overhand fill mechanized. Freezing might help too. Dentists do it. :) mailto:echarter@vianet.on.ca The Canadian Mining Newsletter EC<:-}
