I was thinking about this last night. Barrick had a property right beside us and let it go a few years ago and we picked it up as part of the new properties. On the newest property map you don,t see Barrick there anymore. I wish I could get an updated map, but I suspect that Barrick is no where to be seen there. Hog and I discussed this here a year or 2 ago how this seemed odd that Barrick would leave it go. Since then we had the geophysics and found new exciting things, plus staked the new property. So, we know the property is good, that is probably not why Barrick let it go. If Barrick decided to step back and let us prove it up, they would undoubtedly have close tabs on us. If Lori is talking to anyone behind the scenes, I say Barrick is one of them. We used to have confidentiality agreement/s with them in the past. Barrick also has an existing mine 10km or so to the north of our Vilcoro, with adjoining property. If and only if, the Vilcoro and Tesoro had 50-100 million ounces of gold combined on them, Barrick would be set for 20 plus years on their reserves, if they were to buy us out. It would be a deal of a life time and where we recently have 100% of Vilcoro,100% of Tesoro, these 2 properties could go as one package.

I noticed Lori in two interviews mentioned Nevada and how she became excited. I asked my self why, we have so many properties now, why would Lori even be talking about Nevada as a great place for gold? Then I thought, if our Peru properties go soon, she is most likely gonna want another property or two to play around with as a hobby more or less, maybe Nevada would be the place to get them.

IMO
