yes, but it's actually three separate models at different grade cutoffs, the red being the highest.

I built a geologic model based on the drilling and field mapping we've done, and applied that to all the assays (which are essentially 3D point data) from surface sampling and drilling. The program takes all that, as well as some variography and a few search parameters and builds an ore shell based on a minimum grade at the edge of the shell.
