I read your post and want to thank you for your work. Now lets get down to simple English.

So I guess that blows the Meteorite theory right out of the water or could that have been the cause of the "indentation that occurred?

Since you have been educated or educated yourself regarding these important issues, could you give an opinion, after reading the info you have, after looking at the maps etc.  where the motherlode might be?

Could this motherlode which by the report could be very deep, how deep are they suggesting?

Are we in a Sudbury type situation where they are, as a poster noted at 10,000 feet and counting? (I hope I have this right)...

So this motherlode has tentacles that reach to surface or near surface and form pods?

It also sounds like the copper is further away from the motherlode. Am I reading that right? It also sound to me that the copper is spread around ground zero (for lack of a better term) perhaps similar to dropping a cup of water and the water splashes to form droplets further away?

Thanks in advance.
