Let's see if I can answer the puzzle. A 4X5 grid @ 25 meters separation of 400 meters each, that's a grid (one less in each horizontal direction) of (425)M(325)M400M = 310^6 M^3. (10^6=1,000,000) One M^3 of water is (10^2)^3=10^6 CM^3 = 10^6/10^3 CM^3/Kilogram =1000 Kilogram. One pound is 454 grams or .454 Kilogram, so 1 M^3 of water is 1000/.454= 2202.6 pounds= 1.1013 tons. With a specific gravity of 2.6, one M^3 of rock is 1.10132.6 = 2.863 Tons So, we have a total ore body of 310^62.863 = 8.59*10^6 Tons. So.... if we have 5 ounces silver/ton, that's about 43 million ounces of silver. The other grid can be estimated just by comparing ore volumes. CD
