<<it appears that the size of the orebody could approach 160,000,000 Tons.>>

That target size qill not yield 160,000,000 tons... even if it was a compact block perfectly continuous containing only ore and no waist. You would need a gravity of 5.0 to get that kind of tonnage. Also being a vein system...you are likely to have a lot of waiste.

The previous grades were indeed excellent... but the widths do not support at all 160M tons.... at least not for now.

It is way to early to put a value on this deposit.

But it is no doubt a play to watch.
