EC here is one for you to play with, Corner Bay vs Mettalline. I am not sure yet on numbers as we do not have a resource estimate for MMGG and we may not have a drill hole map and indication of hole spacing. This is all back of the envelope but interesting IMO. I took this off of the PAAS website: <With proven and probable reserves of 11.6 million tonnes of ore grading 118 g/tonne silver and 0.33 g/tonne gold, plus measured and indicated resources of 3.1 million tonnes grading 74 g/tonne silver and .28 g/tonne gold, the mine is expected to have a life of 8 years.> panamericansilver.com If memory serves me right most of the holes on Corner bay averaged about 80 g/t. I may be wrong here so please chime in. Last drill results from MMGG: new.stockwatch.com I calculated that the entire length of all the holes with reported mineralization was 184 meters so the average hole was 23 meters. The average grams per ton of only the silver with no zinc credits was 219/t. If Corner bay was at 80 g/t to give us an equivalent grade per length for MMGG take 219 g/t divided by 80 times 23 = 63 meters per hole of 80 g/t. If we knew the distance between holes we could calculate some tonnage. From the MMGG website: metalin.com MMGG reported some other holes in 1999. Some of the holes were reported in two sections so I counted them as two holes. They averaged 6.28 meters per hole. The average hole had have 455 g/t silver. So once again to get to 80 g/t equivalent you would have an average hole of 35 meters in length. Wish I knew anything. LOL. Just trying to figue out if MMGG keeps hitting similar holes how much does it take to have an economic ore body and a wild guestimate on potential tonnage. Guess it will take alot more drilling BWDIK?

WAVES: an interesting story regarding 100 foot waves and shipwreaks.. All the mathematical models showed that a 100 foot ocean wave should only happen every 10,000 years. But there have always been reports and shipwreaks that say that 100 foot waves actually happen quite often. But the math was rock solid and 100 years old. Ships have been constructed accordingly for 100 years or so. 25 tons per sq meter or something like that. Yet they often saw ships with much more damamge. For a while they thought maybe when two currents clash, like along the African coast that, that may be the cause and then they could just steer around them without having to build stronger ships. But they found the ships wreaked where currents were not colliding. Well, too make a long story short, satellite imaging showed many 100 foot waves happening all the time. The answer lay in a quantum wave manifestation where one wave borrows energy from another. A shrodinger equation I beleive? I think-lol. So the quantum world keeps telling us the universe is a bit differetnt than we think-lol. And quantum wave action will be the most important concept going forward in understanding the universe.
