Tentative Size of Chromite Ore body?

Probably far to early for anyone to have a handle on the size/shape of this find but would be nice to have even a decent guess.

We're told that so far it's about 150 Meter in strike length and true width of 20 meters in one area (more maybe indicated in other holes). A third measurement of width is needed to do any kind of calculations.

Are we talking 10 meters or 100 meters? Sounds like the strike length of 150 meters could be just a start as well and further drilling needed.

I'm really kind of lost here because the talk is of beds/layers but obviously turned somewhat over time. All I can think of is a tipped 10 to 40 meter thick slice that could vary up to several hundred meteres in total width by 150 meters in length (so far). Love for someone to correct me because, for argument, 30m x 150m x 150m = 675,000 cu.meters seems low, great start but not world class size of deposit?
