Thank you, and I just looked at the photos. Yes some was split, indicating some sampling, but may I say in an elaborate scheme of replacing core with core from another area, that core could have been split before coming to the Tesoro by what ever company gave it to SLI. And, to retain a bit of consistency, I feel an elaborate perpetrator may assure that a certain percentage of split core would be among the ruin, to coincide with any true sampling lengths and present a more effective illusion, that the cores were valad Tesoro cores.

The bigger 4 inch core should have had a lot of it split, for the simple reason the host rock is mineralized and a 4 inch versus a 2 1/2 core, gives a better representation of grade.

We also know, that there were smaller cores kept on the property from around 2008, that were drilled by the "winky drill". I am not sure if the photos of the "winky cores" are in the library here or not, but those pics of those cores were impressive to the extent of the amount of quartz veining showing up in them.
