I assume understanding the ore body is not about understanding an item such as a human body. It may be about understanding the veins, their concentration and distribution laterally and vertically. I assume but do not know, not an exploration geologist or geologist, that may be via survey or drilling. Need expert view to determine which if any may be necessary.
There is gold in them there hills but finding it is demanding. Another assumption must be that, with depth, the veins get more concentrated towards their origin at even greater depth.
So understanding the ore body makes logical sense. Though there will be some inevitable cost implications.
