True Width of the Blackbird One deposit

posted on Jul 31, 2008 10:21AM

If the dip of the Blackbird One deposit is similar to Blackbird Two (65 degrees) the true width of the Blackbird One intersections are approximately 45 percent of each vertical intersection listed in yesterday's NR.

This calculation indicates the average true width of the Blackbird One deposit (four intersections) is approximately 22 metres.

It goes without saying that the true width of deposit increases as the dip becomes shallower. If the dip of Blackbird One is 45 degrees the true width of the Blackbird One intersections are approximately 72 percent of each vertical intersection listed in yesterday's NR.

If this is the case the average true width of the Blackbird One four intersections is approximately 35 metres.

I'll put my money on the deposits having similar dips and the 22 metre average true width estimate.
