Do you mean "below 100 feet".... and how can you conclude this is a given fact?

Perhaps it isn't, but seems to me that if successful recoveries are made in the first grid to 100 feet then the body would extend downward and outward to some limit. I'd expect that since this is a placer deposit (albeit old and dried out) then the gold would by nature seek the lowest level possible and the lower limit would be bed rock.

Maybe I'm too optimistic but I'd be suprised if the gold didn't extend downward. If it is there then it should be economical if the rest of the top material is economical because the overburden is almost all ore and you're being paid to remove it.

Am I incorrect or missing something here?
