Well this is what you said mate - perhaps you could explain what was meant?

The 'hi-grade Co orebody' from my above postings came in at well under 1Mt, with my block wireframe 'guesstimate'.

I think we are all jumping a little to quickly to an assessment of this deposit - looking at @OldGeo 's maps there are still a lot of drilling results to take into account.

There are also many processes for treating these ores - subject to met work.

The well known High Pressure Acid Leach (using half a tonne of sulphuric acid/ tonne of ore, and large amounts of energy)
The (still experimental??) CSIRO Nitric Acid process
https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/MR...y/Process-flowsheet-development/Direct-Nickel
Several kinds of fungal/biological processes
And the processes using reductive roasting of the laterites prior to solution of metals in ammonia (e.g. Queensland Nickel) - sort of a reverse of the lateritic oxidative process by reduction of the oxides back to a more soluble form.

I am betting CTM (or a partner) will prove up a viable JORC resource, either stand alone or in combination with a known, or as yet unknown nearby deposit, and will develop a very profitable mine, one way or another.
