volume of the stockpile
just baseing my predictions off of the stockpile picture and shooting short on everything, i think we could be looking at 56000cubic meters of stockpile. in theory this stockpile said to be located in a revine so this is my formula (Volume triangular prisum=.5BHL)(V=.5 x 50m x 15m x 150m) gives you 56250m3. i undershot the weight of a cubic meter of gravel (1.68tonnes/cubic meter)
(56250 x 1.68=94500tonnes) now i think we average at least 1g per tonne giving you 94500g of gold. that gives you 3048ounces(94500/31=3048). this is just my predictions, and know i shot short on all my numbers. i believe there is more than what my numbers come out to, im just trying to give a reasonable answer.

Estimate 3000ozs at $2000/oz = US$6M minus cost of production. Lets hope it is close to 30g/ton and phd makes 30 times which is viable. What is level 11/12 holding, not in laser 3D yet??

Actually - I think I had higher grade - thinking lower tonnage - meet in the middle - $$ 1.25 M tailings ?? However as I noted in an earlier post - I'm agreeing with Ron -at the 600, - I think they lost the seam - 1/4 mile of high pay there - and if they are right - paydirt goes down at at 30 easterly - big numbers - even starting at the 600 !

Twigler12 I think we are in the same low-ball ballpark - the surface dimensions vs a narrowing ravine - tough to figure tonnage - however I'm thinking richer than you - lowballimg at 1 OZ / ton = 33 g/ton! Hard turning cubes into tons - so - just guessing - 1200 to 1500 tons - still a million !

Yeah I just went the average weight of a cubic meter of gravel. Usually weight would go by yards on a dump truck but meters was easier to stick with. I like to think rich too but in this case if I'm accurate then I'm credible, plus if it exceeds my expectations then it's just that much more of a surprise..... And I like surprises $$$

You're thinking metres now - Canuk ??

Yeah. I usually deal with imperial system but gotta know the metric system too. In this case whatever their terms are is what I go with.

Looked over your numbers again -.hope you are correct - be a 2 M tailings dump!
