Theres likely an incredible amount of resource at Tesoro in the entire 17000+ acres. It will certainly be a valuable asset to one major or another. Whatever style of mining they decide to preceed with is totally up to them and I could care less how they decide to extract it. Your opinion seems to be that Tesoro is a long way back in the rocks with no water. That is true, but that appears to me to be your only valid point . I would guess that if theres a very large deposit in Tesoro, financing a first class road and a Water pump wont be an issue. Besides, by the time these activities take place, the SLI shareholders will have already made their trip to the bank and it wont matter to them one bit.

Geer, Do keep up the comments. They create conversation.
