Pedro...the upper estimate when fully drilled out is 1.2 BILLION Mt reported in announcements by AVZ in 2018......

I think this was a very conservative exploration target...my guess, fully drilled out, AVZ could reach easily the 2 BILLION Mt measured resource.....and here is why.
That's where we are....

And where are the upsides of Manono ?
Lets talk Carriere de Este pegmatite...Zijin must know that the northern part isn't a dud, they did their homework as well { AVZ did as well } The Mica story of Nigel...I take that with a grain of salt in that twisted situation at that time....Carriere de Este might have even a bigger resource than RD. RD is much smaller of size. I am surprised not to see any drilling results of Zijin yet.

And there are plenty of undrilled Pegmatites on AVZ's tenements...

AVZ only drilled to the depth of about 250 m, if I remember right...
But the actual depth of the deposit is 615 meter.....thats about 350 m of possible resource on top!

open at depth....I repeat.....OPEN AT DEPTH
And here is my last reason why I believe our actual resource could be in the 2 Billion Mt...
The lakes...which covers a big portion of AVZ's tenement...

What will be underneath?...AVZ mentioned earlier they will explore that....but never did.
Historical drilling, before AVZ got Manono, suggests that there is another massive dipping ore body under water. Once Roche Dure is mined, all the water can be drained into the Roche Dure pit and another pegmatite will be on surface....Bingo
Ok...this are all only indicated possibilities...but I reckon you will get the drift.
2 billion Mt Lithium is not out of reach...IMO
And here we are....What is AVZ worth? That's the big Question now,
