RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Outlier

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:OutlierYes Carbide, we do agree more than we disagree. I think the average interval will exceed 4 meters, because most of the ore is dominated by green in figure 4. This corresponds to 4 to 6 meters. At no place is it less than 3 meters, and within the highest grades it exceeds 12 meters. I understand you would prefer as an investor to err on the side of caution, and then be pleasantly surprised. 6 to 7 km sq area is also reasonable, once again favouring caution.

Soecific gravity is trickier. SG at Kakula has been slightly higher than Kamoa. According to the March 2018 resource update, SG varies between 1.5 and 4. I didn’t feel sufficiently motivated to tear through earlier reports, and pulled 2.5 out of a hat. It’s consistent with copper ore in general. But since you have a particular lithology in mind, 2.8 might be more accurate.

6.4 billion lbs Cu is still a nice little outlier. Thanks for explaining your model.
