RE:What does 400 meters down plunge mean ?These are two of the three dimensions of the ore zone. If the true width is 10 m, the cell will be:
300 m strike x 400 m deep x 10 m width = 1,200,000 cubic meters
If specific gravity is 2.8, then it will be approximately 3,360,000 tonnes.
If the grade is 10 g/t, then it will be approx 33,600,000 grams gold
At 31.1 g/oz = 1,080,385 oz gold. (based on 10 m width & 10g/t)
The width of SC1 is projected to be between 10m & 15m. The likely grade is between 9 g/t and 15 g/t. So the example above should be the minimum. It could be 50% wider, and 50% higher grade, giving up to 2.5 million oz Au. Drilling could either lessen or increase the expected dimensions and grades.
