It depends on who is mining it. If there is 1.5 feet of 1.5 ounces, it translates to 4 feet of .5625 ounces per ton. That is mineable. Generally if you find high grade even over miniscule widths it may be mineable as it is very easy to follow, and block out. Determining actual mine grade is a matter of mining it.

The magic number in narrow vein mining in gold is .30. If you can average .3 ounces per ton, you have a mine for sure. That is 10.28 grams per tonne.
