Hogs post;

1)My understanding Mikxx is that the colors in the Quantec images also have a lot to do with sulfides. I was told that in order to get the colors we are getting in our survey, we would have to have at least 5% sulphides in the soil and rock.

That being said, It has also been found on Tesoro in the underground workings that the higher the sulphide content the higher the gold grades have been.

Now Murry had mentioned to me on a couple of occasions, that the greater than 1 oz/t samples that have been taken out of the A4 just below the surface had a sulphide content of 1.5% to 2%. and it doesn't even show up on the chargeability scale (it is green or blue I believe). Understand though that sulphides don't neccesarily have to contain gold mineralization. But in this case all arrows point to the fact that it most likely does.

My contribution

I did a post on the reasons why the A-4 vein workings were not showing up as impressive on the images. It is my beleif that the mineral limonite is responisible for this. Limonite is OXIDIZED iron minerals/sulphides. At one time,millions of years ago, the whole A-4 workings was gold mixed with sulphides. Between then and now, oxygen, water and other deteriorating components entered the picture, litterally RUSTING away the sulphides down to 50m or a bit more in some places. This limonite is not as CHARGEABLE as the deeper untouched sulphides, hence it will not give off a signature the same as the anomaly, although the ratio of sulphides to gold is/was constant from surface to 100,s of meters down. An example, which is better for an electric current?

a) a rusty corroded wire

b) a brand new shiny copper wire that has not been exposed to any elements

I am guessing everyone said b)?

Now you may ask why the C-1 lights up excellent in the images close to the surface. Its because the oxidization in that area was not as bad, AND/OR the sulphide content there was higher and takes longer to RUST.

I suspect when Murry said we would not get those colors with less than 5%, because they know. The C-1 has recorded factual numbers for sulphides there at or above 5%, (its in an old NR somewhere, I am not looking for it now). So if you take what we know, that the C-1 is giving us very similar colors with 5% sulphides, what are you left to beleive, until we drill and see if the gold to sulphide ratio remains the same at depth. It most likely will stay the same, because if there is a relation with sulphides and gold in a deposit, it usually remains, you usually don,t find one without the other because they need very similar conditions to form. That is why sulphides are an important path finder mineral for metals, if there has been an established correlation between sulphides and the most prominant mineral of a deposit.

In our deposit, the prominent mineral is gold and a direct correlation has been established with sulphides. This correlation will most likely continue through the entire Tesoro property, should every anomaly be connected like a web, as suspected, and the SOURCE is the same, as we suspect.
