Just going over some of the new website (under Projects - Tesoro) again, and it's old news, but a good refresher to read again, especially the last line, concerning the Titan 24, which was completed on the Tesoro. (I did the bolding & underlining):
About 3D Geological Modelling
The Titan 24 Geophysical Survey has provided a means to see deep targets in highly prospective terrain where the targets can be fully incorporated into sophisticated three-dimensional models. 3D subsurface earth models significantly increase the chances for drill success. Quantec and the Company can take Titan24 results together with historical data and compile them into one up-to-date 3D model that allows for quick and decisive decisions about what to do next.
The Titan24 technology is being utilized on a regular basis by advanced explorers such as Barrick, Newmont, Freeport MacMoRan, Goldcorp Inc. and FNX Mining. Mining companies can choose the most prospective areas by integrating all spatial data into one common shared model of the earth. Communication of subtle details in all data sets ensures that the decision-making process is optimized and better justified. One of the most significant benefits is the ability to use both historic and new data to accurately extend and predict new reserves and resources. Juniors can now explore with the same sophistication of the seniors, in part thanks to the investment of seniors like Barrick and Noranda Inc. that went into developing much of the Titan24 technology.
Every new advancement in technology, particularly geophysical, has aided in new discoveries. The likelihood of making new discoveries at depths of greater than 200 meters is increasing as a result of the ability of the latest geophysical subsurface imaging capabilities. James Moffett, Chairman of Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, was quoted at stating “the next major world-class discovery will not be found by digging a trench.”
