Welcome Greaser, I would like to comment on your points, if you dont mind.

1) The "ovoid" was the huge result of the first Titan survey.The first survey was a cheaper version of the recent one, but after seeing that ovoid and some other targets, it was decided, the top knotch survey was warranted for the Tesoro. The second survey has revealed larger anomalies than the ovoid and the possibilty of bigger ones yet at depth.

2) These other metals are of low occurrence and I averaged all the samples to come up with a .13% copper grade over all the samples. I think an economic copper grade right now would be right around this point, but it would be low grade and probably wont add a whole lot of value to the mineralization. It is interesting to note, that where we found one of the highest copper values, it was associated with 3.21 ozs of gold in the C-1 vein. The high pockets of gold in the A-4 vein( up to 19 ozs) had liitle or no copper. Heres a link to the NR with our highest copper sample,.

Also we are on a gold belt that runs for over 200 miles, there is very little copper along this belt, gold is the most prominent metal.

3) For us to hit the Acari river level, we would have to go down 1600m just to get level with it. The 3d imagery we are waiting for should let us see down to 1500m, at present we can only see down 750m on the color slides from the 43-101. The 3d should be very exciting!
