That is it would all fit into 403 44-gallon drums. Or in total, it will fill just over half the volume of the Mt Charlotte SAG mill. · 50Moz is just short of the total mass of 4 fully loaded Boeing 747s · If people were ants and could lift 10 times their weight, it would take 6 times the population of the whole earth to lift 50M oz of gold! · 50M oz would buy you 7,500,000,000 Big Macs. That would be 20,000,000,000 calories! · At today’s price would buy you 859,350,000 cartons of Carlton mid strength @ $30.00/ block · Or, at today’s price, would buy you 572,900,000 Crown lager @ $45.00/carton · You could buy 9,821 CAT 793C dump trucks or 2750 Komatsu PC8000`s · The value of 50,000,000 ounces at A$530 (A$26.5 billion) is enough to fill 21 soccer teams with David Beckhams (recently transferred to Real Madrid for A$115 million) or 2.4 billion soccer teams with KCGM General Manager John Shipp (assuming someone would pay a buck to have a John Shipp on their team!) · 50m oz gold would produce16 metres of solid gold Loopline Rail. · If you produced 454,000 oz's for 110 years at a gold price of $350 US and invested that money in the money market with 5% return, it would now be worth approx 1 trillion Aussie dollars. · If Paddy Hannan was an expert Geologist that could prove that there was 50,000,000 ounces in the Superpit 110 years ago and the bank allowed him to borrow against this gold asset they would lend him approx $17,500,000,000.
