Message: misinformation

There seems that there may be some misinformation circulating out there on blogs and other investor chat hubs about the width of the veins on the Tesoro. Lori mentioned about this type of misinformation in her conference call to us, and as a supporter of my investment, I will try to correct the misinformation.

I am seeing some investors out there saying that the Tesoro veins do not widen at depth, I totally disagree with that statement and will comment on that and support it with words from an acredited geo, Paul Gray.

But first, common sense will tell you that a vein/fissure that runs verticle for maybe up to km,s deep, should widen at depth. Simple science and mechanics will tell you this along with the understanding of how vein systems work. Sometimes graphs can be decieving when trying to establish a vein width, and are only as good as the data entered. This leaves a lot room for error, and should not be used to decide if veins widen at depth or not, simply because there are too many variables that have to be considered before entering this data in a chart.

To make this understandable, just imagine someone taking width measurements of a vein at a point that is far from the epicenter, you calculations will be distorted. The best way to ensure that you are getting some kind of an accurate reading, you have to get as close to the epicenter or at least to the stronger sections of the flow. If you use all the vein widths reported in the tech reports at different depths, your work will be skewed and you will be left with the wrong impression of what is exactly going on with the veins. This will happen because you do not know how close the measurements of those veins were taken to the epicenter. For instance, if you went down the side of a vein in a straight line, as you do when putting in shafts, the vein may change course and appear to get narrow if you get off it. If you took that measurement in a straight line at that point, you would get a false concept of the vein staying the same or getting narrow. You have to remember that fluids force their way to the surface, so its only reasonable to expect their point of origin to be much wider than their final destination.

Here is an excerpt from the 2010 tech report by Paul Gray. You can find this on pg 36 of the actual document or pg 44 if you have the downloaded version to your desktop.

Diamond drilling is a costly but potentially effective way to test the depth extent of the known

mineralized zones. The exploited mesothermal gold veins in the district are known to be narrow

but continuous along strike and in particular to depth. It has been demonstrated by Dynacor Mines

within the district that the mesothermal gold bearing veins within the district can increase in width

and grade to depth, and therefore drill testing the characteristics of the veins hosting known

mineralization at depth is a high priority for this Project. The widespread gold mineralization

signature on the Property may be indicative of a deep seated mineral zone.
