just to clarify.. in my earlier post i stated that they would need at least 3 holes in order to get an idea of tonnage .. but i did not intend to sound like Jean or any ceo can make these estimates... they can't and it's not their job to do that... that is for the professioals to do.
But i was only trying to point out that on order for give some volume estimate (as Jean did)... he would need to have at least 3 holes to provide a measured base area and height in order to calculate a volume estimate. Jean had none of this and said the hole is open in all directions so why he said it would provide an additional 2000 tons i cannot comprehend and i know that he is not supposed to make those type of announcements without providing justifiable volume calculations.
So please i hope i was not misunderstood.. it was not intended to do anything other than draw into question the reasoning behind Jean's statement.
In my mind i like to think that this hole represents the possibility of a much larger resource and maybe it does... only more drilling can find that out for certain.
So i hope much success to all here and would love to see GER become a profitable mining operation with a good long term supply for years to come.
