Keep in mind, the opinions on this site are for the most part speculation and are not necessarily the opinions of the company WITHOUT PREJUDICE
To be honest BOW, I believe the placement of the 3D anomaly on the Google Earth map, may not be accurate.
Its hard to tell from the 750m slides we have, because we never got the 1500m depth ones that were done, but it would appear to me that maybe that 3D anomaly should have been pushed a little further North on that Google Earth image. I say this, because if you follow the 2-3 images from 5000 LN to 5750 ln, watch the high chargeability in the bottom right of those images. To me, these distinct high chargeability areas would seem to best fit the northern neck of the anomaly.
If this were the case, it would mean that the C-1 vein was directly connected to the anomaly, and this would be an exact match from the sulphide signature at C-1 to the signature of the anomaly. Remember that faults and fractures never follow a straight line, over distance they may seem to be relatively straight, but in short distances they can meander back and forth or change direction at anytime. It is my belief that the main fault on the Tesoro takes a turn to the right as it progresses north, and the main depositions that follow it, does very much the same. So, if the C-1 vein is directly connected to the anomaly, and you have grades between 1-6 ounces coming out of the 100m level, just what is at the deeper levels, in the line of gold grade.
I also believe that there is something more than just gold in the anomaly. It is my opinion by looking at samples that there will be other metals most likely to the degree of economical, added with the gold. I am expecting some showings of base metals, but this is not a bad thing by any means, if this is the case, it will be a plus in the sense that our gold grades increase in conjunction with the sulphide content. There will most likely be a poly metallic component to our deposit, there appears to me to be several deposition events at work here, and an epithermal event/s are still possible into the mix with high sulphides that are also favourable for other metals. Don,t get me wrong, this is a gold play, as suspected by experts, but I am only saying that there could be more surprises on top of the gold.
IMO
