I am looking for a little education about the deposits at Tesoro.

My understanding is that there are Quartz vein structures running throughout the property. It is these structures that carry the "lode" of gold. Quartz structures are formed over millenia in fissures. It's in these fissures where you find the "lode gold" correct? It stands to reason that at surface, errosion of the quartz structures will scatter gold accross other rock and soil. Well below grade the gold would be found in the lode formations. If this is true for our property why am I seeing calculations of so many grams/ton throughout a huge anomaly? What makes us think that the gold would be disseminated throughout the area and not just in the quartz veins?

As I am not a geologist I may be missing something. Can someone explain how a resource estimate can be projected for areas outside the vein structure?

Thanks in advance.
