First enlarge the x-section of the ovoid (SLI website) to measure 1 ½” vertically. Match it to the plan (looking down) view. Print, paste them it to stiff photo paper & cut out. Using the cut-out pictures from the website to a scale of 1.5 inches equals 300 meters, construct a “silly putty”(cost $2.99) model of the red mass and the ovoid. Take a picture and then disassemble. Roll the red mass into a 2” cylinder, and the blue into a 2” cylinder.

Note this is very crude.

The larger measured 2” in diameter and a height of 2.5”

The strawberry anomaly model was rolled to a 2” diameter cylinder and the height measured 1 5/8”

Volume of a cylinder is pi x r2x height, or look up on line ‘calculate cylinder volume’ & plug in your numbers. The base of my cylinder is 600 m diameter.

Subtract the strawberry volume from the pink part of the anomaly. (Blue in my picture) Incidentally I don’t have the software capability to print the pictures on Agoracom

My red volume is about 65% of the ovoid. The weight of a ton of rock per m3 varies depending on the air spaces between the particles. I multiplied x 2 rather than Veeblue’s 2.5 because my results were so outrageous.

Pay close attention to the colour of the horizontal slice at the bottom of this anomaly; it is mostly green. The induced polarization at this depth is interesting in that in between the two pink anomalies there is still dispersement of metal, perhaps ½ -1 gm. per ton?

There should be two values of the ore, one for the pink part and another for the red part, and my red part was much larger than I would have guessed (I.E. 65%)

Realistically the drill results for the pink part should be higher than 1 gm per ton. The red part should be perhaps 5x that IMO

Now if ten people can play around with silly putty and cut out pretty pictures we can average out the ounces of gold. Better still, when the 3D come in it will all be tabulated for us.

There are 32150 (Troy) ounces in a ton of gold. What is your estimation of the pink part of the ovoid and the red part? See who is the closest when the drill reports come in.
