I took the Corebox 3d update at VMS site and said what is the volume magnitude of the existing deposit, and how much bigger need it be to be mineable. I was not looking to any form of hard answer, just realms and orders of magnitude. I twisted and turned it and said how big a cube to stuff it all in. My wife and I agreed 120 metres cubed box would hold these colored pieces. I started at 80 but that last hole fattens it out quite a bit. A 120 mcu would imply about 1.75 million cubic metres of various mineral bearing rock. So, if the average were say 2.2% copper , !% zinc and some other good stuff what would that potentially represent in mineral value and would it be mineable. Can we get $500 million of gross minerals out of this as it sits ? Iwould appreciate input from anyone experienced with the necessary calculations/conversions. If I am out by 'factors of 10 ', also appreciate any input. Rob
