Mr Hobbes, in the new corporate presentation on the SLI website on pg 35 and 37, there are 2 photos of trenches. One is following a vein(the narrow one) pg 35, the other wider one pg 37 would be a trench for getting channel samples/soil samples of ie; widespread mineralization. You need the latter type this wide so you can get a representative grade across a reasonable width. The fact that the wide trench runs for the entire perception of the photo, disappearing into the horizon,tells me that the diseminated zone being tested there may be large, if consistant..

My guess is that I see that trench stretching at least 300m, and still going, in the photo. But, I believe the widest diseminated zones tested to date were around 45m across on the property, and that was around the A-7. To see this long of a trench, that particular size, may suggest to me that they found wider zones, or are leaving no stone unturned in this pass, and are trenching straight across regardless. Nevertheless, IMO, to have trenches to that scale done on the Tesoro, ups the chances considerably for finding Quantec surface targets and to properly evaluate them.

The manner and precision of the trenches in the photos, also speak of professionalism. So, things appear that they are being done thoroughly, and will not need another pass.

I can only imagine what those trenches may have found.When will we know?
