I agree with you 100% Digi. And answer this, why would we be so concerned about the source of the anomaly, if the anomoly contained insignificant quanities of gold?
I believe they could have trouble finding the source. On this unique property, IMO, it is possible that the anomaly has epithermal characteristics and the C-1 anomoly would support this argument for the signatures of both. Although epithermal deposits generally run to 500m deep in extreme cases, it is possible with the grade of sulphides and gold present, that an epithermal system with mesothermal origins could run much deeper. It is also very possible when considering my argument, that there is no attachement string below the anomaly. If this is true, it in no way decreases the amount of gold in the anomaly itself, if anything it would support a much higher grade.
It has always been my thought that the true source was further to the east or the south,deeper. Your angles of the correctly identified mesothermal veins will point you toward the source,these are the veins you follow. The mother lode, if on the Tesoro, has a better chance of being by the biggest fault and depression on the property, which would be just above and partially taking in,Chance E. There is another significant fault to the east, and we just got some of that property, and just put 3 holes from a common collar on/near that fault. So, it may appear they are doing just that, looking for the source in the south or east, if you look at the drill plot.
The idea of looking for the source,which is undoubtedly deep, as much as 10 km in a mesothermal system, is kinda trying to add glory. Its ok to fool around with it a bit, but remember, if found,it could take years to get to it to mine and be expensive. But, if high enough grade, and not too deep, a shaft could be sunk quickly, with expense being no subject. I believe thats what Lori is doing now, weighing her options of continuing looking for the source, or go with what we have now. IMO, at this point in time, Lori has 2 options, release the full info to date, and if good enough, entertain an offer on what she has, or, if she has good reason to believe she van find a higher bonanza source, then withold what info she has now, and give the source one more try.
IMO
