Keep in mind, the opinions on this site are for the most part speculation and are not necessarily the opinions of the company WITHOUT PREJUDICE
I see this was written in 2001 with data collected in 1998 by Quantec. I would assume that the technology has been improved since then and most likely is more accurate. Not saying that it wasnt accurate on this deposit by looking at the comparisons, but meaning the technology has been fine tuned. Im guessing the effectiveness at depth has been increased which will give us a clearer picture deeper at the Tesoro. I had heard a few years ago that some geophysic tecniques had problems with depth. The simple reason being; that if the resource was close to the surface and gave off a strong signal, the survey couldnt pick up exactly how deep the deposit went because the depth of the deposit was masked, sort of speak. It could continue vertically for 2km for example,but the survey would show it petering out at depth due to this inefficiency, for example 500m. I dont beleive Quantec has this trouble and are now able to get readings from greater depths. Having said that, I think our deposit may run very deep, (because its mesothermal) and would like to see the greatest depth possible on the new results.
If we do get greater depths on the results, say readings from 1500m, it may indicate that the theory of everything on the property being connected at depth is a closer reality. Now, with the (new) North Corridors initial grab results being in the ounces too, from only one location on it, its gonna be real interesting to look at this 3d image of the entire property. I am suspecting the possibility of a fault running North and South between the main corridor and the north corridor that formed the gold east and west in the shape of a fish bone, the main bone being the fault and the smaller side bones being the stringer veins. If this is the case, that the ore body has this shape, there is no telling how much gold is there. If there are 3 or 4 smaller embedded parrallel veins with stockwork, that run with the corridors ,which i think is the case, this is still very impressive if they are connected at depth. The reason I am leaning towards these scenarios is because the gold grade increases at depth(characteristic of mesothermal systems) and it has been said, in I beleive the tecnical report by the company, that there is beleif that the gold bearing structures are connected at depth.
