"One interesting thing that Loyd told me was that the location of where the ovoid T8 is located is a point at which a number of faults converge, and due to pressure over time has shattered the rock in that large area were the T8 ovoid is located. He compared it to putting a bunch of marbles in a bowl and filling the bowl with a liquid. The liquid being hydrothermal fluids carrying gold in solution. This was an example he used to explain what the ovoid could possibly be."

Excellent info there Hog. (And good info from the other posters as well!!) Anyhow, correct me if I'm wrong, but those mentioned faults that converge onto the large T8 ovoid are synonymous with VEINS containing "obscene" high grades of gold, right?, and perhaps also continuous with the C2 vein among others that have been labeled. Aren't those correct statements?

If so, then one can surmise then that with the rock being crushed comprising the ovoid anomaly that over millions of years the hydrothermal fluid (arising from kilometers/miles deep below) would have had a greater chance to seap in as well as circulate gold laden fluids (and deposit phenomenal amounts of gold in the process) into this large volumetric area owing to the lesser resistance pathway into this (crushed rock) ovoid versus the greater resistance of more solid rock regions surrounding it. The very fact that there are veins laden with gold that exit (and CONVERGE) upon this cavity - IF TRUE!!! - would also lend support that the ovoid almost certainly would also have to have obscene amounts of gold as well. ............further supported by the Quantec results along with the paucity of any other significant metal deposits to defray the significance of such stated results from Quantec. Furthermore crushed rock represents much more surface area for such dissolved gold to permeate into versus more solid rock. And with the discovery of the second corridor close just north of the main corridor (and also CONTINUOUS with the whole hydrothermal system) one can only surmise further that the heart of the Tesoro property represents a massive super high hydrothermal pressure system that required as well as lent itself to further fault lines in order to release itself of the super high buildup of pressures within the hydrothermal system. (One can't help but to be reminded of the massive hydrothermal system and its geysers at Yellowstone, where the super massive volcanic system has lent itself to the greatest accumulations of such geysers in the world.) And with greater pressures must represent greater buildups and flows of superheated fluids, and with greater propensity for buildups and depositions of such dissolved metals over prolonged periods of time. And with the hydrothermal system having been active several different times over the past several million years as mentioned in the geologists' report one can perhaps easily appreciate how it is then that the Tesoro is laden with so many super high gold content veins. So again it is just a matter of putting two and two together to see a story here that was writtten in the rocks over millions of years.

With such promise and potential I have no problem with waiting .......and to tell you the truth the fact that Lori said that they have already been promised a date for the permit is HUGE!!! .....and I can't help but to scratch my head at the poor souls who sold yesterday EVEN AFTER THIS NEWS WAS CONVEYED!!!! For some investors their own selves are their own worst enemies. But the again it isn't too late to get back in!!! ....even if at just a slightly higher price.
