You do the hamster math,...(Fishtail creek + Crescent Creek)((2.5 miles5280=)13200 + 8000 feet)/10001 million oz = 21.2 million oz,...now add the SR-Vez reef, the "A" and "B" chromites and the Picket Pin Horizon...and you may double, triple or moreple the outcome. Are you sure I'm too early with IDO.v?? http://www.montanaplatinum.com/JM%20Reef.htm The J-M Reef is the world's highest grade platinum group metal ore body in production and occurs in the banded series of the Stillwater Complex. At the Stillwater Mine, the J-M Reef hosts, 1,000,000 oz. platinum and palladium per 1000 feet of strike length. Based on geologic mapping and geophysical interpretation, the J-M Reef is present in the following areas: The Fishtail Creek area hosts the eastern projection of the J-M Reef covered by glacial deposits. Airborne and ground geophysics indicate 2.5 miles of strike length on IDO claims. Geologic and airborne geophysical evidence indicate an offset of the J-M Reef totaling 8000 ft. of strike length on IDO Claims in the Crescent Creek area. http://www.montanaplatinum.com/SR-VEZ.htm The Stillwater Rose Volatile Enriched Zone (SR-VEZ) was rediscovered during IDO's 2000 exploration efforts. The SR-VEZ (previously called the Janet 50 Zone) was the focus of exploration in the early 1970's by the Johns Manville Corporation and prior to discovery of the J-M Reef, was considered the best PGM target on the complex. Historic records report assays of up to 0.47 opt PGM from this zone. With the discovery of the J-M Reef in 1973 the SR-VEZ was abandoned as an exploration target. Complex wide airborne geophysics conducted by IDO in 2000 clearly define eight occurrences of the SR-VEZ coincident with coarse grained, volatile enriched areas in the ultramafic zone http://www.montanaplatinum.com/AB%20Chromites.htm The "A" & "B" Chromites are located at the base of the Ultramafic Series. Eleven samples in the Chrome Mountain area contained up to 0.87 oz/ton (25.36 g/t) Pt+Rd+Rh and 0.506 oz/ton (15.75 g/t) Au and average 0.26 oz/ton (7.57 g/t) Pt+Pd+Rh. Five samples collected from the Iron Mountain area contained up to 3.080 oz/ton (89.84 g/t) Pt+Pd+Rh and averaged 0.836 oz/ton (24.38 g/t) Pt+Pd+Rh. Sampling in the Crescent Creek, Mountain View, Nye Basin, and Benbow project areas has returned assays of up to 0.63 opt PGM from surface samples and 0.32 opt PGM from drill core. http://www.montanaplatinum.com/picket_pin_horizon.htm The Picket Pin sulphide horizon is hosted in similar rocks to that hosting the J-M Reef and is exposed for a strike length of 12 miles. Historic exploration yielded surface and core samples containing up to 6.0 g/t Pt+Pd and indicate the Picket Pin Horizon is composed of 6 discrete sulphide zones up to 10 meters thick. IDO's exploration has located surface exposures containing 8.0 g/t Pt+Pd+Rh and has generated drill targets
