density
Noun
pl -ties
1. the degree to which something is filled or occupied: an average population density
2. Physics a measure of the compactness of a substance, expressed as its mass per unit volume
3. a measure of a physical quantity per unit of length, area, or volume

density  (dns-t)
A measure of the quantity of some physical property (usually mass) per unit length, area, or volume (usually volume). Mass density is a measure of the mass of a substance per unit volume. Most substances (especially gases such as air) increase in density as their pressure is increases or as their temperature decreases. Energy density is a measure of the amount of energy (often in the form of electromagnetic radiation) per unit volume in a region of space or some material. See also Boyle's law.

New data presented above: i) prove the hypothesis that these Neoproterozoic low-sulphidation veins should contain bonanza-grade concentrations of gold, ii) indicate that highly prospective crustal levels are preserved in these Neoproterozoic systems, and iii) underscore the importance of high density sampling in prospecting within these systems.
