Porphyry deposits are formed when a column of rising magma is cooled in two stages. In the first stage, the magma is cooled slowly deep in the crust, creating the large crystal grains, with a diameter of 2 mm or more. In the final stage, the magma is cooled rapidly at relatively shallow depth or as it erupts from a volcano, creating small grains that are usually invisible to the unaided eye. The cooling also leads to a separation of dissolved metals into distinct zones. This process is one of the main reasons for the existence of rich, localized metal ore deposits such as those of gold, copper, molybdenum, lead, tin, zinc and tungsten. From wikipedia

EXS recently acquired a significant block of claims along the Porcupine Destor fault, a block that Tom Exploration previously held for a number of years. This block covers a porphyry substantially larger than the one LSG/WTM has shown to be mineralized. There have been intersections of shallow gold mineralization, but the property has not been explored at depth. Chris Dupont, President, has been compiling all the previous data and will be taking that on a tour of a number of Toronto brokerage firms this week, looking for funding for a drill program. This is one of the best virgin blocks of ground in the whole Timmins camp, strategically located on trend. Stock looks to be finally breaking out of the current sideways trading range of the last year and because of the size of the property, long term drilling potential borrowed this and posted it PB
