Gary:

Your Specific Gravity (S.G.) at 2.8 is too low for this type of mineralization because it is just above that of quartz and plagioclase. The country rocks will contain a substantial proportion of mafic minerals such as olivine, augite etc. that have a S.G. of >3.2 and should result in a S.G. for the country rocks of 3.0. Taking into account that the massive sulfides have an even higher S.G. of ~4.6 and assuming that there is on average 10% sulfide in the rock, a more appropriate S.G. might be 3.2.

I point this +15% difference out because its implictions will increase as the total drill indicated tonnage increases.
