Large ore bodies of sulphide ore is very economical even if gold grades are down around the 1 to 2 g/t if they are shallow and it appears to be the case here. The amount of stockworks with their location/geometry containing higher grading will determine just how good this discovery will be in the end. Add the depth considerations to the model and it might get into the 'significant' category, especially if the grades improve the deeper it goes.
Time will tell, but one thing we know for certain is the fact that the strike area is huge.

agree with that.
I would assume it's difficult to judge at this stage - after JORC easier and then, it would come down to good mine planning of course.
A lot of it is ridiculously shallow - what did we have today?
that top hole - over 40 metres at over 2 grams from 6 metres deep
of course it's not all like that - but, you could basically bend over and pick that up and walk away.
You wouldn't need a lot of area like that and it's money for jam
