That is a lot of contrast . Patience will be rewarded and yes this should have moved the needle along with much higher volume.

The 2,000 tonnes are expected to be a high-grade sample with low waste. Voyageur's goal is to extract 1,000 to 1,200 tonnes of high purity barium sulfate from this sample, to be used in barium contrast manufacturing. To put the number in perspective, 1,000 tonnes of pharmaceutical grade barium sulfate, can create:

Approximately 111,111,000 bottles of SmoothX smoothie contrast media, or

Approximately 3,000,000 bottles of HDX powdered contrast media

If they know the spot where 1000 tonnes of barite can be extracted from 2000 tonnes of earth (50%) why even do any more mining after that?
