600 m X 100 m X 2.3 m = 140,000 sq.m X 2.7 t/sq.m = 370,000 tons.
It is very early in the drill program, but the one zone appears small and uneconomic.

8% Ni = 160 pounds Ni/ton X $2/lb = $320/ton nickel
$320 X 370,000 tons = $120 million (U.S.) gross nickel metal value

Factors which could change this estimate:
The zone's width could increase down plunge to the east.
The zone could be well over 1 km long instead of 800 m.
There could be a series of further zones of similar grade.

But the results to date indicate the zone will turn out to be high-grade but relatively small and uneconomic.
