Looks like they might be justified in buying this. There's enough in the brechia pipes to easily pay for it. The question now is How deep is too deep? I can make a good case for a very large magma chamber resulting in a 2.5 km deposit that is at least 0.7km deep. I would not be surprised to see much greater depths off to the sides of the trend. To get a mental picture think Yellowstone. As the plate moves over the hot spot it leaves a culdera scar across the land. In this case the magma plume isn't at the surface and as such the plume becomes bent. This in turn works to produce the ores. Supporting evidence is the water table and temperature changes.

Since I forgot there were fireworks tonight I may delay writing a strategy peice on the companies activities. It should at least be clear to everyone that we are not being sold lock stock and barrel. I do like the change of strategy as explained by Elmer. It is more in keeping with what I would want to see in the company. When we first discussed this I wasn't really big on mid term exploration where there was not enough info leaving a lot of speculation scope. However, being under the umbrella of a giant gives us some protections should the markets implode. A review of money movements from ww1 and ww2 are instructive. We are in a very similar position again. I can't say that all of Germany sees it the same way but expats seem to be leaning this way. They don't think the EU can be sustained for much longer and say that a new structure has to be found to avoid past pitfalls.
