Take a good lQQk at page 10 of EVG's presentation: http://tinyurl.com/2bhc299

then read the following exchange between a geologist with the handle of 'zumplums' and another poster taken from the Evolving Gold board at Yahoo.

From zumplums:

Quote: Page ten. Oh baby.

From Gagnon.Claude:

Quote: Yes indeed, that picture on page 10 reminded me of what you wrote a while back:

" A large heat source is driving the system. That same heat source may be the source of the mineralization and it and the immediate area surrounding its upper portions may be mineralized making that which EVG has encountered so far small by comparison ---like the sparse branches of a old tree compared to its massive trunk."

and then....

" Picture that pluton as massive rock android deep below if you well, the trachyte dikes flaring up and out of the head, the monzodiorite dikes long arms extending from below the shoulders. But no matter the depth of origin, if each is mineralized with gold the the origin of that gold must at least extend from the head to below that massive android's arm pits, a considerable distance. "

Great show Zumplums, you have probably inspired that picture! In any case I see a lot more what you mean now...

From zumplums:

Quote: Geology depicted on page ten:
As discussed previously, and now as represented in EVG conceptual depiction, the intrusives that reach the present surface are genetically related to the same magma. They are differentiates from the "main porphyry" target and in their lower silica content more liquid and able to squeeze their way to the surface with relative ease. The porphyry on the other hand is a silica rich differentiate comprised of the lighter and lower temperature minerals excluded from the cooling magma and rising to the top of that magma chamber along with the fluids also excluded from the formation of the previously precipitated and more basic rock as its higher temperature minerals crystallize and take up the space. While this process is hypothesized for a number of types of "porphyry" deposits it does include those in which gold is the dominate value.

The gold partitioned to the upper magma can be both deposited from fluids traveling toward the lower pressure and cooler surface and also deposited locally in and around the porphyry from a number of factors and in this case one in particular the rapid loss of confining pressure as demonstrated by the breccia.
The explosive event that created the breccia would have provided at least two conditions the leading to gold deposition; The violent and rapid release a gas from the fluids changing the ph of the fluids and altering the existence of gold carrying ligands causing deposition. And, too, the release transfers of a huge amount of heat, which once again effects the solubility of gold. If this concept holds true, there is still the question of how much gold moved up and how much remained. The fact that the lower intercepts still had good gold content bodes well.

The gold bearing quartz monzonite porphyry dikes intercepted are a very positive indicator as the larger stock below is likely the same rock type and the parent of those dikes. And, given the viscous nature of those dikes versus the diorite and phonolite, they are likely to far less traveled from the parent stock. This is well represented in EVG.s depiction and not only based upon EVG drill results but upon the observations of a long history of study of porphyry ore deposits.

From zumplums:

Quote: Added note: Should have read on to the next page (11); EVG states under "Results to Date" of "broad intercepts of porphyry at depth." Back then to page 10 and we see the outline of "intense alteration and breccia." While the depiction on page ten is headed as a "conceptual section, Evg knows danged well or not if those "broad intercepts of porphyry at depth" were surrounded by "intense alteration and brecciation." Of course, as they say, its what you don't know that can hurt you and we don't know if those intercepts carry gold and if so how much. And so that familiar phrase; assays pending.

Cingers Frossed.
