SO HERE IS THE DEAL: Take into account the following statements taken straight out of SLI's new website in the discussion on the Tesoro property and then consider the following for some further thinking on SLI's prospects:

"The two main structural trends intersect each other at numerous points within the Property. Traditionally intersections of gold bearing structures can cause bonanza grade gold as well as “blow-outs”, which are larger volumes of quartz that fill voids created by the colliding intersecting structures."

So again, TRADITIONALLY, intersections CAN CAUSE (which I interpret as "more often than not it causes" since the author threw in the word traditionally) BONANZA GRADES and "BLOW OUTS". Now SLI is talkiing my language!!!!! Furthermore the colliding intersecting structures I presume speaks of the many faults and broken up host rock that has been discovered deep below the surface that also, as it turns out, are so favorable for water to fill in (during mesothermal activity) and allow for metals, such as gold, to precipitate out so freely and extensively, as has been discussed before on this board.

Now consider that the massive anomaly JUST SO HAPPENS to be located right underneath where these two structural corridors intersect, as defined of course by the Quantec electroconductivity studies. JUST COINCIDENCE????? I strongly think not. Meanwhile the veins are rich in gold, and the grades improve the further you go down .........as in the further you go down towards the anomaly. Regardless of whether there is copper present or not shouldn't matter .....because if there is a lot of copper in the anomaly there should also be a lot of gold ...nature doesn't "operate" by separating out gold into veins and copper into anomalies, especially when such veins happen to lie right above the anomaly. If anything the metals are most likely to be present together in large amounts, relatively speaking.

As the longs already know, everything strongly suggests that the property is an excellent bet for containing large amounts of gold many hundreds of meters below the surface As pointed out with the Aurelian story .........the information was all hidden in plain sight for all to see.

One either chooses to jump on the opportunity .....or one chooses to not jump on it. Perhaps for many it is just simply "too good to be true". Or perhaps the fear of the "boogie man" behind every stock is too overwhelming to get past. Or perhaps just too pessimistic in general. Meanwhile others are "spooked" for various other reasons, such as "I've been burned once before, and I refuse to be burned again." Or perhaps the fear of the market, of the world, of political risks, or of a perceived "gold bubble" .........and the list could go on and on. But to each there own. But one thing is for sure: SLI isn't Las Vegas ........for here the odds are heavily favored on the player's side, and such odds don't get any better than this.

As a final note I'll add that this stock will only be manipulated for so long, and once the drill results get released the shorts will scurry for cover like a bunch of cockroaches. Many will ultimately get stepped on along the way. And deservedly so.

FWIW
