Yeah you are right. I will take that ten grams over 1 cm off your hands to save you trouble. It is not indicatif at all. Sorry. What is meant by a showing in the book of cu-zn-pb showings in Ontario (there is such a livre) is a deposit, either drilled or trenched that has some width, indicated length and grade of +-Cu+-Ni+-Pb+-Zn+-Ag+-Au. I would put the minimum at 1.5 feet wide, 100 feet long, and 50 feet deep. Many of the "showings" are longer wider and much deeper having been drilled or had a shaft put on them. Most of these are in andesite however some of the Pb-Zn are in sediments, or intrusives. Some of the CuNi veins are in so-called intrusives. If however you were in the vicinity of a rhyolite, and had some sort of copper, not spectacular, the feeling is following it up could be worth while. On the you never know principle. If you include all the copper nickel veins in the base metal showings then your averages get much better, as there are at least 50 nickel copper mines in Ontario. So out of 5,000 showings you can say there are 100 mines. So it gets to 50 to one on blind luck. Of course they are not all large mines. The criteria for inclusion in the word showing is whatever gets into the book. If you take a company that could hold 4 showings then the average gets even better. It is down to 12.5 to one. If you hold 12.5 of the best companies out there, you are sure to find one mine. The trouble is who is best. I say you and me, but people might argue. EC<:-}
