Someone correct me if I am wrong, but didn,t Arequipa only have trenching results released when the first offer came in? Then they frantically started drilling?
Maybe this is why Lori hasn,t released any trenching result, she is scared of a premature offer? I see a move has been made on CRK today, the sharks are feeding.
Arequipa did have pits and adits, but so do we, we have informale pits on the property as deep as 30 m. This taken from the 2005 tech report;
6.3: MINERALIZED ZONES
Tesoro is riddled with pits excavated by informal miners to expose quartz veins
and, in some cases, to extract gold-rich vein material for processing at nearby
plants. These pits range from shallow holes less than a meter deep to substantial
shafts (known as piques, pronounced pee-kays) up to 30 meters deep (i.e.
Canchete 1 Vein). Figure 2 shows the location of excavations found on the
property, including the Canchete 1 pique. These accurately reflect the locations of
gold-bearing veins identified on the property during systematic exploration by the
Company in 2004.
