Here are highlight drill holes from another company again. I don,t know if the chart will come out right here, but the first hole had a narrow intercept of 18,754 g/t gold. This would be around 660 OZS/T. The point is, that extremely high grades are a possibility on the Tesoro. Although our highest grade was around 19 ounces/t , we don,t have any info out of the anomaly yet.

If we were to drill through that sample of 19 ounces we had, it may have been possible to get a grade of that vein around 1300 ozs/t over .5 m. There is approx 28600 ozs/t in pure gold, so that would equate to around 4.5% gold in that vein.

Is it possible, I don,t know, but I wouldn,t rule it out. Most of our mined vein grades on the Tesoro have been ~ 1 oz/t , so it would probably be better to expect something like some intercepts in the 200 g/t range/7 oz/t range when these veins are intercepted. I am not talking about the anomaly in the above paragraph, but rather the veins we were mining.

The post above seems to have caused some concern for at least one poster, he couldn,t understand what I was saying and misinterpreted my post as hype. Some people read things and don,t understand the meaning of everyday words such as possible,might, maybe, if, could be, etc. Some will blame me for speculating when I mention the possibility of extreme high grade veins or long intercepts of disseminated gold on the Tesoro. But really, are those that are quick to blame me for speculation, not speculating themselves when they speak of just high grade veins? Are they also not hyping while suggesting this? What is the range of speculation on our property, or I guess for a better phrase, the acceptable speculation by these people? Is it ok if I dont speculate over 1 oz/t?

Well, I am sorry, I will not confine my horizon to what some one else thinks is acceptable. If everyone thought this way and took what was given them as "there can,t be more", we would have been greatly hampered as a civilization and probably would still be cave people. Think outside the box, think for yourself, think of possibilities.

Enough philosophy for this post, now I want to add to my post of last night.

So, in that post, I more so asked what is possible on the Tesoro in line of the grade of gold that might be incountered in an intercept. Here is the real amount of gold ounces in a ton;

One tonne = 1000 kg = 32150.746 Troy Ounces.

Being conservative last night, I said 28600 ounces on some quick math, and as usual I am not to concerned with math in my posts if my objective is to get a different point across. Nevertheless, I talked about the possibility of getting a grade of 1300 oz/t over .5 m, if we had drilled through that 19 0z/t sample that was taken. It is possible if you imagine the 19 ozs being elongated along the drill core for .5m. This would only have to represent about 4% of the drill core to give you this grade.The best way to understand this concept without me making it so complex is; A tonne of golds dimensions are approx 37.5 cm, or .37m cube. If you were to drill through that solid ton of gold, your intercept for .37m would be 32150 ozs/t over .37m. So again, it is possible.

Now here are a couple high grade intercepts that I have heard tell of from 2 different companies.

7800 g/t or 250 oz/t over 14 meters

4700g/t or 150 oz/t over 43 meters

17700 g/t or 517 oz/t over .5meters.

The reason why I would even think that we may encounter comparible or higher grades than the above, is because of the type of system/s we have on the Tesoro. The main one being a mesothermal system which is known to frequently have higher grades the deeper you go. If we had 19-25 oz samples at/near surface, the possibility of having higher grades encountered at depth, could become a probability when you look at the characteristics of mesothermal systems.

IMHO
