Greaser, I believe it was because of you that Hog and I decided to pursue looking at the Chorunga and Dynacor connections. If I recall, you were the one that tried to show us the pictures of the structures running up the canyon walls. Dynacor was only sampling/mining the 3 veins and I showed that it was economical by their own statements they made, in particular, $276 cash cost, when the POG was around $400. They also boasted of the grades in their 3 main veins and said they had 5 more.
I do see Greaser that you may have been trying to alert us to the mineralized diorite at that time, but it was much later when we started to realize how important this disseminated gold may become, that I started to see something else. So, you are right, that the same structures appear to be there, but were overlooked by myself until I stumbled across them yesterday. And to be honest, I didn,t think about trying to see if the country rock on Dynacors property was mineralized and diorite, I found this by accident yesterday.
We are up in the pluton rocks which can carry low grade mineralization by them selves without much veining. But you enter faulting and veining into this scenario after this first event and you have better chances for much higher overall grades. Also take into account that we have the marine rocks,the mesozoic, that came from the depths and are part of the plate tectonics. We already have done enough research on the Andes to know how important the plate tectonics have become to many of the world class deposits there, if not all. And where we have a mesothermal system, there is no doubt in my mind that we have some of the plate tectonic residue deposited on the Tesoro.
