Data Sources: Wakefield Report, Teras News Releases. (there are additional veins noted on
Consolidated Goldfields site that are not included here)
A cutoff of 0.08oz/T was used to identify high grade veins. Data displayed in meters. Gold grades in oz/short ton converted to grams/metric tonne. I believe the f/t being reported might be grams/short ton as it is a US lab.
Note re: Widths: These are all considered apparent widths as there is no hole inclination/azimuth and no vein dip/azimuth information available.
Anything >=3meters (10ft) is likely mineable by underground methods, There are a lot of candidates should the individual vein geometries get proven up, establishing tonnes/ounces.
Out of curiosity, I also worked out the average low grade assay using meter weighted grades but excluding the high grade intersections above. It is .75g/tonne, well above Mesquite's cutoffs.
As far as the low grade open pit story goes, most of these veins will end up being sweeteners to increase the background grade of .75g/tonne.
This is clearly a very gold rich system and it has great potential to add further oz. Au IMHO.
