Below is a photo of the C-1 mine. I am not sure what level this came from. Its interesting and important to look at the veins that are going into the side of the walls. The main part of the vein has been taken out here for the tunnel, but these mineralized off shoots and possibly stockwork continue into the sides. The host rock on the sides is mineralized also to a certain degree adding to the bulk tonnage when this is mined, however, most of the host rock has been left at the surface in a tailings pile, samples taken from the tailings pile awhile ago, I beleive were somewhere around 1 g/t. The high grade ore of up to 6 oz/t was shipped to Dynacor a few years back.
This photo, and others, that I will put on the forum over time were given to me by a fellow shareholder. This fellow shareholder has visited the Tesoro property 3 times about 4 years ago and took these pictures. I am extremely grateful that this fellow shareholder took time to give me these pictures so that they could be shared with all the owners on this forum.
Here is a picture of your C-1 vein system.
