Mesothermal dissemination?

This statement;

- that the veins and disseminated areas are mesothermal;

Taken from this list of statements from our new website;

St. Elias has identified:

- main mineralized structure 6.5km (4.0 miles) long;

- parallel mineralized structure 7.0km (4.3 miles) long;

- five mineralized (gold) zones;

- over 50 quartz veins with a combined length of 9km (5.6 miles); and

- that the veins and disseminated areas are mesothermal;

Has got me thinkiing. Here is one of many descriptions for a mesothermal gold definition. I chose this definition because it just happens to mention the Bralorne-Pioneer district in B.C. where Havillah,s " Gold Summit Property is part of, or thought to be. Kill 2 birds with one stone?

An excerpt from our Gold Summit description;

The property covers 2,973 acres (29.73 km2) and is located within the prolific Bridge River Mining District, which hosts the Bralorne-Pioneer gold-silver mines. Reported historical production of the Bralorne-Pioneer camp is about 4.15 million ounces of gold and 0.95 million ounces of silver.
The Gold Summit property hosts a number of roughly east-trending, shear hosted, mesothermal gold-silver ± polymetallic quartz vein occurrences.

MESOTHERMAL VEINS:

Mesothermal gold deposits are formed from hot water that precipitates gold under high temperatures and pressure, generally at great depths in the earth's crust (around 10km). In these deposits, high gold grades tend to be continuous over large vertical ranges.

This process has formed throughout geologic history but younger examples include the Mother Lode District in California and the Bralorne-Pioneer District in B.C. Nearly 80% of B.C.'s gold production has been mined from mesothermal veins, which includes Almaden's Elk Gold Mine.

Now I will get to my point.

Lori is saying that the disseminated gold IS mesothermal. This means that she is saying that the surface areas tested for disseminated gold runs to depth as long as you have the same type of host rock. There are 5 of these areas on the property to date, and she is working on the 5th with this years trenching. This disseminated gold is another monster in itsself meaning that it will give you a CONTINUOUS GRADE to great depths of lower grade, but economical if above the .2 g/t range. When you add the high grade veins into the equation, your overall gold average grade per ton will go up considerably, establishing a great probability of a large resource.
