A very interesting question, perhaps several, arises from the drill hole angles.

There was an initial written/oral statement by Lori explaining that all holes were drilled in a westerly direction. This is documented somewhere on files I have and upon a recent search on line last year,I was unable to find this statement and also enjoyed seeing many links to news releases and SLI articles broken. Why?

By taken the information, that "all holes were drilled in a westerly direction", it represented even more problems with determining the drilling data. One problem I had, by examining the holes and applying a direction between the degrees of 225 and 315 degrees, encompassing the most "westerly" component of the compass, these holes had to have hit mineralization. Even out of the 14 holes not reported on, there may be significant hits in them as well when you plot their collar positions in relation to geophysical anomalies. These holes have been drilled not only across known veins, but as we often see on the property, the mineralized other structures, including fault gouge, dykes and even the mineralized host rock, so its impossible for these 14 holes not to have anything as well.Why?

I believe it was hole #8 that the company said a mistake was made in the depth reported for that hole, which took the new depth to a point of just entering an anomaly. This is very interesting as to why an early hole would be stopped just short of entering a high chargeability anomalous area, whereas comparing the anomaly it was about to enter, has the identicle signature of the anomaly responsible for the high grade C-1 complex, which saw consistent gold grades of around 3 ounces per ton gold, the introduction of massive sulphides with a copper compliment of above 5% and a couple other interesting metals, including appreciable silver. Why?

Also, a photo of a drill collar on the Tesoro, shows several capped holes from one collar, with the protruding cap clearly showing some holes drilled in the easterly quadrants as well, so, conflicting information, and why?

The Tesoro is a confirmed mesothermal system, meaning mainly, that accompanying veins in these types of systems reach considerable depths toward their origination, which may be as much as 10km or more below the surface. These veins widen at depth and it is very common to have "blow outs" all the way from the point of origin to the surface, with huge pods of mineralized hydrothermal fluids, which in our case, carry gold. These veins on the Tesoro, have many gold bearing veins at surface being of considerable width, let alone what they expand to at shallow depths. The remarks by some questionable posters and Jeff, that the veins are narrow, places and incorrect depiction in front of the receiver. Its the grade which is most important, and as demonstrated here countless times, our grades are comparible or above the average grade for the richest mines in the world, and this is only shallow depths yet, which historical data shows mineralization taken on a higher grade and more substance at depth. The porosity factor plays an important part in mineralization at the Tesoro, this is evident in the oxide to non oxide depths, and is also a determining factor in understanding the Quantec geophysics of the property.

The drilling and trenching results as presented are incomplete and inconclusive with the majority of information mostly withheld from shareholders in the case of the trenching results. Why?
