Good posts here lately by all, with all the increased activity on the Tesoro, and the NR's that have been coming out. I as well, believe this will start happening quite quickly. This last year has drug on, many delays, many times our patience has been tested, political questions, etc??But, I think 99% of us have hung on long & strong! With all the activity, and the drilling program about to start (if it has not already), drilling around the clock (2 X 12 hour shifts) things will unfold quickly. It really is time to try to understand your SLI share value. Many posts have been done in the past to try to help everyone (especially new people to this board) to realize that when offers start to roll in, not to get too excited about low ball offers, even if it is 10 times more than what we're trading at today.

There is so much info in the Link Library & Photos section, that justify what really we should be worth. I'm going to paste a post I did a while back, to show some Math, predicted volumes, and very large scaling factors:

Again, as we have new readers to this board daily, I wanted to show some Simple Math & Gold Estimates, of only 1 Anomally on the original Tesoro Property. This is the Zona Central Anomally only, (the pink body with the red inside, on the North of the property) and can be found in many NR's, the Link Library, or the Photo section. Every value used, is to try to make things as conservative as we can. The Ovoid formula is not used, as the scaling factor is so large.

A X B X C X D X E

A = Volume of the 1 anomally in Million M3 (1800M X 1700M X 1300M) = 3978 Million M3

B = Density of host rock (quartz) usually use 2.7 T/M3 we use 2.5 T/M3

C = Scaling Factor: we will scale our numbers by 68% (so we'll multiply the total by .32)

D = Grams per T estimate (the bulk samples averaged 29 g/T, however, we'll use only 1 g/T)

E = 1OZ/31.1g (there is 31.1 grams in a troy OZ of Gold)

The Result of Gold Estimate, using only 1 anomally, scaled by 68%, and only 1g/T:

3978MM3 X 2.5T/M3 X .32 X 1g/T X 1OZ/31.1g = 102 Million OZ

There is so much data, proof, pictures, supporting evidence, etc. Simply review all the DD that has been done, by reviewing the information in our Link Library, Photos, and the many links they will all take you to.

Hope this Helps all the new Readers to this Board
