Each shell is tied to the survey that would image it. Desk compilation from published USGS / industry methods — not the operator’s confidential cube. Not a reserve.
| Ore shell | Survey | Method | Year | Tie | Vp m/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bagdad hypogene | Pit-slope 2D B-12 | 2D reflection | 2015 | Ties the shell | 2400–6000 |
| Leach cap / oxide | Pit-slope 2D B-12 | 2D reflection | 2015 | Ties the shell | 2400–6000 |
| Molybdenite halo | CSAMT B-west | CSAMT / AMT | 2011 | Structural offset | 2000–5400 |
| Bagdad hypogene | CSAMT B-west | CSAMT / AMT | 2011 | Structural offset | 2000–5400 |
PhD geological read
User-initiated. Grounded in MCS 2026, the mapped ore shells, and the seismic crosswalk. Not a reserve.
