Just some additional food for thought. I also have an interest in Petaquilla Minerals in Panama. What they are doing is whatever overburden they strip off the top, they crush and use the materials to build the roads to the property.
The only thing with the Tesoro, if the top 100 meters or so do contain 1g/t au, then it would kind of be a waste to do that without processing it first.
