.2 g/cubic meter is economic cutoff
for alluvial projects according to Harp Sangha during the ill-fated conference call surrounding the initial assay results.
My spreadsheet analysis of the early Feb results estimated an overall grade from the 141 samples of .19 g/cubic meter, so I'm pretty pleased with the grade.
I'm also pleased they were able to come up with some kind of inferred resource.
I think its pretty positive.
From a blue sky perspective, we are talking 200 (assuming the same gold across the entire property) * 20K oz = 4 million oz of gold. At $50 / oz, what I've seen Jrs sell for lately, that is $200 million dollars. Our market cap is around 70M *.4$=28M$. That's a 7-bagger, assuming there is gold all over the place at the same grade. Of course, if they can actually mine it with a reasonable cash cost (say $300/oz) then it could be a 70 bagger (not counting dilution).
Still a lot more speculative than my usual holdings, but I'm not planning on selling my shares any time soon.

Monty, you and I are on the same page. As long as the results were higher than .2 g/cubic meter I was happy.Its economical.. lets get mining..

let's just do with the whole area this way: 430 sq km = 430 million sq meter.with the depth of 30 meter, the volume becomes 430 x 30 million cubic meter.with 0.3g/cubic meter, total gold is 0.3 x 430 x 30 million gram.1 troy ounce is about 31 grams.so, it is about 0.3 x 430 x 30 / 31 million ounces.moriarty's wild guess was 92 million ounces.my calculation is close to that.

"1 Sq Km is 1000 m * 1000 m = 1,000,000m. Jr high school geometry. You underestimated by a factor of 1000. Also, gold is troy oz which is more like 31 g, not 28. "OK- thanks for correcting- I knew 1km = 1,000m but forgot to square x 1000.btw, my hs geometry is a distant memory- clouded by ounces of 'gold' that were 28g at the time. ;-)

so, 120 million ounces of gold according to my rough calculationa mother loadlol
