good sunny morning to ya trucker: (_)P (_)P coffee with me here on the veranda?

You posted -->The rock averages over $4000 a ton and as high as $10,000 a ton, 50 feet below old workings and only about 300 feet down

Relax a bit my friend. One must remember on these assay reports, one must also take into account just how thick the intercepted ore body is, and how it was intercepted.

Think of a ham sandwich with a thin slice of ham in it, If you go from one side of the piece of ham to the other, across the slice, it appears to be huge, but, if you go from the bread side to the other bread side it is quite thin.

In other words, the values could lie in a thin, small layer and assay high, but in actuality would not have eough volumn to be worked profitably.

Trust your man Jim, he is well aware of the situation and comparitive values.

A mine with a solid $1,000 a ton combined values is rarer than an honest politician.

$4,000 to $ 10,000 ???? hmmmmm
