IF there was a mix up ? Big assumption.
and the bigger picture is.
That will not change the assay results nor the Chinese majors involvement.
THANKS Mineralised .
now we have spodumene at depths up to 300 metres ....amazing.
“In these studies, Manono pegmatite is conventionally considered as a multi-branched dyke or laccolite, extending 14 km along a NE-SW axis (in agreement with the direction of the host micachists) and presenting in its middle a hiatus of 2.5 km. The width of this body varies from 50 to 800 m, with an average of 400 m. The SW (Kitotolo) area has an area of 1,350,000 m2 while that of the NE part (Manono) is 1,200,000 m2.”
These dimensions are enormous. If you assume a depth of just 50m, noting that it has been drill tested to 100m ending in mineralisation, you get a volume of 127.5m3 of volume, multiple by 2.8 and that’s 357MT of ore assuming spodumene mineralisation throughout. And that number doubles for every 50m of depth and consistent thickness proven. Obviously just an exercise in big numbers but the site has huge scale.
