Anyone have any calculations they want to share? I am using this and getting 24moz? Is this similar to your calculations/estimates for the current area?

Using calculations from the above old article and changing strike length to (350m X 600m X 600m), assuming/guesstimating average 2g/t au. Gets an estimated current explored area of 24moz Au and estimate value of our 30% at a £1.1b. See calculations for this below.
New strike length:
350 X 600 X 600 = 126,000,000 cubic metres
Specific gravity of three (which is broadly expected in the regional geology:
126,000,000x3=378,000,000 tonnes of ore
Estimated 2g/t average:
( (378,000,000 X 2 ) / 31.1 )
= 24308681.672
Or
24moz~ Au
Still using the conservative $200 taken from the table and not taking into account rising gold prices. We then calculate greatlands 30%.
( 24308681.672 X 200) X 0.3 )
= 1458520900.32
1.45b USD or £1,168,789,320.00 GBP
Estimated conservative £1.1b just for current extent of havieron Plus copper and areas still open. Plus rising gold price.
£1.1b+!! Yet GGP market cap is currently only £300m~. Even if average is 1g/t it would still equal £500m+ and we’d still be at around 12moz. This figure should still go up as more is explored.
The website states that GGP paid for the article so it’s likely they either produced the original calculations or at the very least proof read the article and were happy with the calculations being reasonably conservatively accurate.
Do your own research though and check both mine and there calculations before making any decisions.
