baydogfish, hole 16 should have been right in the old "ovoid" or what they call the T-8 anomaly, except there has never been no info released on it as well as several other holes and the reader/investor must believe that these were barren holes. However, the geophysics suggests mineralization with high chargeability. This one hole, #16 was drilled in the main mineralized gold corridor and by observing the drill map that we have on hand, it looks like the only hole drilled in that area. It would also appear that the "anomaly" is a different and defined anomaly a little deeper than the old "ovoid, and much more extensive and massive in size. The "ovoid" is a near surface target and it almost breaches the surface near the Zona Sur area, there were 53 samples taken of the alteration in this area, excluding the veins in 2005 covering an area of 950 meters by 1100 meters. The average gold grade of these samples was .32 g/t gold. There was one sample, (among more) taken south of there in 2005 that assayed the diorite alteration, not the VEIN/S, that averaged 7.48 g/t gold across 2 meters. This is very important, it clearly shows an altered shear zone, ABSENT OF VEINS, containing a very high grade of gold for any host rock on this earth, and could be considered gold ore. There are also anomolous copper results from over the property that pop up, the highest being around 5%, which is considerable when you think that some mines mine copper at an economical grade of approx .15 % along with there gold and other by products of economical mention. I should also mention that massive sulfides were hit in the C-1 adit which is very accurately consistent with Quantecs chargeability geophysics.

Geophysics has become a very reliable and accurate science for finding minerals and precious metals. It has been around for more than 40 years and was capable of distinguishing sulfides and delineating them back then, the advancements in technology since then should suggest quite a fine tuned tool in this day and age. And even so much whereas Quantec made a statement on their home site that they could figure out volume of a resource from just looking at the geophysics, pretty well the same way BOW has come up with his calculations. Not only does geophysics identify mineralization, but it also identifies gradients, faults, alterations, etc of considerable widths. A rule of thumb width of vein for the scale of our geophysics of the Tesoro would not show and individual vein og gold/sulfides, unless its around 5meters wide or more, therefore the mineralization being picked up by the Quantec around certain veins, has to be mineralized alteration to be given this type of width chargeability signature.

For you fisherman out there that use a sounder for finding fish, if your sounder says there is fish there, THERE IS FISH THERE.
