Excellent post buckbrush!
There are so many questionable things with these news releases as well. Most notably to me, the Zona Verde area that had every indication of being economically mined, just seemed to disappear from our claims years ago. The Cruz Vein system retained, suggestive to satelite images, appears to have been mined without any news release ever saying this.
Also, there was a geophysics done EARLIER than the Quantec on the Tesoro. It was done in 2007 without any news release or information of its findings released to the public.
