Message: leach pad photo

If all coordinates are correct, it appears this photo was taken of the Zona Incognito area on Chance 5 in June 2012. It shows what appears to be the corner of a leaching system/pad. A leaching method for gold retreival usually requires crushing the ore down smaller, for a quickened and more efficient process. For this leach pad to be up in the middle of no where, where does the ore get crushed at? There is evidence in a photo that I put on here awhile ago that the crude methods used by Peruvians for crushing, are in the area, but they are very slow and produce low volume, that may not coincide with need for what looks like a considerable size leach pad. The pad is deep and although actual size of it is impossible to determine from this photo, a view of the depth may suggest its considerable size. I am guessing, at least this pad may hold 300 ton of rock, and because of the photo, the size could be actually quite large.

So, this may be evidence of someone processing ore on or near the property, and may suggest that milling is not required. A reasonable refined gold product could very easily be the end result of such a system whereas there is considerable mention of high grade pods and perhaps even a high purity of gold in the general area. Further refining, fotr purity purposes, could be done at another location if needed, or sold as is, but a lower price would be paid upon a purity test. A look at the prices paid for the Tesoro ore, are appreciable, meaning that there is a high purity standard to gold from the Tesoro and that further purity refination practices may not be required for selective ore.

This post is just some thoughts, and for all I know, the photo could have been taken on the moon. I am not implying nor incinuating that any gold is being stolen by anyone, nor that any of the equipment belongs to SLI, I am merely presenting what I see. So, where its impossible to be getting the Quantec signatures from the Tesoro with nothing there, and I will stress that Lori said "its impossible" at the Calgary meeting, then it may be impossible that this picture is from or near the Tesoro.
