not sure how many of you are aware of this but Tessoro and Vilcoro are not the only Gold discoveries our Geo. John Brophy can take credit for. He also discovered the Virgen Gold deposit (privately own and operated) that went into production in late 2003 and as of 2010 had produced over 1.1 million oz of Gold.
Now the interesting thing is it's located in the same general vicinity of our Vilcoro property. Vilcoro boarder Barricks Lagunas Norte Mine, 10 million plus oz and Virgen is located 22km east of Lagunas Norte. Also located in the same general area is the La Arena deposit, 2 million oz, and the Tres Cruces deposit, 1.7 million oz.
IF I was a gambling woman, which I'm, I'd bet that Vilcoro and Tessoro will also become producing Gold deposits.
P.S It's my prediction Brophy will become the Geo of the year
