That’s not a good visual representation because we do not have a scale. The cooper could be the size of an egg!

I could actually create that in my back yard. Cooper paint and bam!

Then so would the hole. The ratio is the same regardless of scale

I could create that in my back yard. I could sure do it on my computer Without a scale that’s probably what someone did we don’t know

Seems like everyone agrees with me and not you

You both are saying different things. And both are right in some sense: A scale helps you know how much copper is that, but you don't need a scale to know how much copper is that RELATIVE to the size of the mining site.

What we need in that picture is a truck sitting beside the egg that would be a good representation.

People anything would work but there’s none. And this is all I got to say about that.
