I am not a geologist or a miner so take this for what it's worth:

Picture an area 100ft by 100 feet above the purple anomaly identified by Quantec. So we have a square above the purple which says somewhere below, possibly starting at the surface there is huge concentrations of gold in that square area and extending down (we hope) to a deep depth.

Now picture a two foot vein about 10 feet from one edge of our square running down to some depth and extending back from the front of our square. The gold in that vein lights up the Quantec image and says that the total area is loaded with gold..... But it does not show that the gold concentrations are high only in the vein area.

On Quantec it shows a huge purple area comprised of the total 100 by 100 ft area. It does not give exacting locations as to where the vein is!

So if we drill in the purple area with a two inch drill it's virtually impossible to hit the vein (even with 100 holes) unless we are real lucky.

So it appears to me that if Lori does bulk sampling, by taking out an area of say 100 by 100 to 100 feet (could be bigger or smaller) chances are she has to take out part of the highly concentrated vein (eurika) with all the gold in it.

My conclusion is that Lori is doing the right thing by bulk sampling a big area to identify the gold (veins etc.) rather than trying to drill directly into a discreet vein. If this works she can finally prove that Tesoro is loaded with gold and we are home free!

Comments on this analogy would be greatly appreciated. This is only my engineering opinion. JW
