More like one every 2.66 weeks from 3/6/06. <g> I know the zinc is the bread and butter but still would like to see some super rich silver holes. In 1999 they averaged over 700 g/t over 15 meters on a couple. Average 15 meters 767 metalin.com Average 146 (Grams per ton over 80 meters) Average 439 (Grams per ton over 24 meters) <The holes were drilled in the Plaza Rica area on the 3 Level of the San Salvador Mine, located about 170 meters north of the San Salvador shaft and in Polymetallic Manto mineralization. Plaza Rica is about 500 meters west of the La Nortena area of the Encantada mine and the drilling was targeted to test the western projection of the La Nortena polymetallic mineralization that was sampled 1997 through 2000 before work was shifted to the oxide zinc mineralization. The 500 meters between these locations has been selectively mined for high grade silver ore that was direct shipped to smelters by the Mineros Nortenos Cooperativa and other earlier miners.>>>> metalin.com Appears to me that we have at least 500 meters across this area. Lot of drill holes if averaged over 15-25 meters is 400-700 g/t with the rich stuff still in the middle. We obviously have depth of at least 25 meteres of this stuff along with a potential 500 X 500 meter section so far. I am not aware of drill hole maps but will look. So 25 meters deep by 500 X 500 meters is 6,250,000 cubic meters but being just a goofy Yank I do not know what that amounts to in tonnage at let's say 500 g/t silver but maybe a ton and a half per cubic yard.So 9 million tons + times 500g/t. I am figuring 150,000,000 ounces of silver. Now that is a lot of wishing and hoping and guesstimating but so far holes show grade and size. Actually my bet is there is moe silver there than that. <<Sierra Mojada has had only the high-grade, direct shipping, portions of the ore bodies exploited, mill grade ore extends beyond the high grade ore bodies. Results from mapping, sampling, drilling and inspection of existing workings indicates that ore grade mineralization can be developed within and adjacent to the existing workings and in stratigraphic units outside of and below the existing mine workings. The district is unusual in the size of the mineral systems and the high-grade polymetallic mineralization that contains silver, copper, zinc, lead, cobalt and germanium>> metalin.com MMGG gets no respect for the silver and this thing is well big. Rebuttals welcome. All my numbers are pure spec. Do your own DD.
