From the NR:
Eighty seven percent of the average value of TREE is made up of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium with neodymium grades averaging 0.42% of the measured and indicated resource.
The resource is reasonably big, but isn't that a poor distribution of REE's? Others have 70 to 80 % of the cheap elements La and Ce, and 12 to 20 % Nd.

Watch for the exchange with the highest volume, which is Frankfurt for most small caps. The other exchanges have low or zero volume, their SP is unreliable.
Frankfurt closes at 8:00 p.m. that is 2:00 p.m. in Toronto

The prices are in Euro - don't be confused by low stock prices.
I'm also not a geo. But to me it seems that if hole NOT-09-2G24 is 300m north from the original hole 2G21, then Zone A and B are at least 300 m long (distance north-south).
The single Zone of hole 2G25 might belong to Zone A. Then Zone A is at least 900 m long.
Now we need the width (distance west-east) of the Zones, than we can make a simple estimate of the ore volume.
