fkenoath,

Here is a scientific brief about chalcocite which indicates it's specific gravity as being between 5.5 and 5.8. The company presentations indicate 4100 deposit is 1300m metres long, 300m wide, with an average drill intersection of 24m at 2.4% copper. If I halve the length and width parameters, this is the amount of copper I come up with for the first DSO project:

650 x 150 x 24 x 5.5 = 64,350 tons of copper using 1% Cu. I think this is a reasonable conservative guesstimate, and would be liked by the market, considering size of regional exploration potential.

Name: Named chalcosine in 1832 by François Sulpice Beudant from Greek, "chalkos", copper. This mineral was known by a wide variety of names previously. In 1868, James D. Dana and George J. Brush renamed this material "chalcocite".Dimorph of:Wuyanzhiite
