BiB, here is what you are missing:
1) BA is not looking for the market for financing the plant, he is relying on SC. so the published figures is just an indication of resource not an accurate estimate by any means. It is publisher just to comply with the rules.
2) in mining, if the geology of the mining area is consistent in certain area, you don't need to dig the whole area to prove the resources, it will be enough to have a cross section for say 600 meter by 200 meter as they done in Bougouni and extend to the whole area of the same structure.
we don't know the geological structure, so we don't have a clue of the real resources but they have a clear idea about the geological structure so they can infer the resources from the cross section data they have.
BA is talking about 2 m plant because that is the same as the one in china, I guess they are going to get a similar one from the same producer to be built in Mali by Chinese.
