Well the theoretical maximum is HUGE, but the real value will be a fraction of this.
You can work out the absolute theoretical maximum based on some extremely loose assumptions.
Someone told me 2.7 specific gravity is average for mineralised ore ie: each cubic metre of ore weighs 2.7 tons. Could be alot more than this, could be less.
If you assume each intercept extends equally in all directions in the shape of a square prism (flawed assumption but its better than nothing) you can work out the theoretical maximum.
Looking at just the intercepts:
7m @ 3.34 7X7X7 (cubic metres) X2.7 (tons per cube) X 3.34 grams per ton = 3093 ounces
3m @ 21.5 1567 ounces
3m @ 8.31 605 ounces
8m @ 6.25 8640 ounces
16m @ 6.76 74760 ounces
12m @ 13.84 64571 ounces
7m @ 7.73 7158 ounces
1m @28.5 77 ounces
7m @13.32 12335 ounces
4m @ 18.65 3222 ounces
17m @ 10.18 135038 ounces
7m @ 20.16 18670 ounces
9m @ 4.23 8325 ounces
5m @ 53.59 10851 ounces
13m @ 21.94 130145 ounces
19m @ 26.73 495020 ounces
12m @ 17.58 82021 ounces
12m @ 16.24 75769 ounces
11m @ 73.31 263454 ounces
3m @ 16.67 1215 ounces
Probably only a fraction of this but who knows?
Its alot!

Sorry my bad, these are grams, not ounces. You need to divide the number by 28.34 or whatever the number is. Oops!
