Assume you mean hard rock? Is it a single sample that you hand picked?

Is that on the Island? Looks like allot of that stuff is there. From what I have read that mining companys always seem to have more than 200 GR per tone but
the gold... I would think about that! I am a rookie though but I felt like putting in a comment. Very interesting... If it was me, I would try to get a chunk!

Geode you need to figure out the cost of mining, transporting, and processing the ore, then multiply 26 oz per ton times silver price + 2.5 grams per ton gold
at same cost factor. I suspect it would not be very profitable for a small miner. Plus you do not know the size of the pay zone without expensive drilling and
testing.
If you claimed it a mining company may be interested enough to cut you a deal. |
