As at May 31, 2011, 15 trenches totalling 1,200 linear metres have been completed with 215 samples

collected over 5m sample intervals from the trenches at the Tesoro Project. The trenches were completed

by a backhoe and a track-mounted excavator at Zona Central (Main Structural Corridor) and Zona Este

(Parallel Structural Corridor).

There was an update less than a month from the time when they announced trenching on May 17. The upadte was June 9th. http://www.steliasmines.com/storage/news_releases/Sli-News-2011-07_Tesoro_drilling_final.pdf

As at May 31, 2011, 15 trenches totalling 1,200 linear metres have been completed with 215 samples . SO they did 1200 M in less than 15 days. First announced trenching May 17.

I suggest we all read the updates very carefully again. I am not trying to downplay your thoughts.
