Concerning placement of the 2 deep holes:

Decided to look at the topo map of Lipangue vs. IP cross-section/drill hole locations. I was wondering how Gordon decided to pick the 2 locations...

The IP clearly shows that the anamoly dips to the South and increases in thickness. Certainly, we want to drill holes that cut through the thickest part of the minerlization.(Of course you want to drill next to IP lines-one line each at station 1000 and station 1100!) However, the Gordon claims South of the Lipangue breccia are extremely steep/cliff like making it difficult if not impossible to drill. Therefore, it appears Gordon picked a spot in between. IP Stations with South coordinates of 1000 and 1100 are located 300 to 400 meters South of the previous drilling holes on the Plateau next to the cliff. Medinah's claims extend another kilometer beyond the Cliff side.(The Southern boundary is some 500 meters lower down.) Therefore, the theortical horizontal length between the surface expression of the breccia and the claims boundary is about 1300 to 1400 meters in a horizontal direction. If IP trends continue, the depth of the minerlization at edge of the plateau is about 350 meter below the surface falling to less than 50 meters below the surface at the Southern claims boundary which is about 1/2 down the mountain. The thickness of the minerlization appears to be at least 650 meters at the edge of the plateau increasing to as much 1000 meters at the Southern claims boundary.(One has two wonder-who owns claims South of Medinah's?) East/West measurements are unknown to me-however from what I understand-as you move South-the E/W dimensions increase in a pyramid fashion. Once I know the E/W dimensions-using a little calculus to determine the volume of the pyramid like shape to the minerlization-should be able to come up with a back of the envelope calc to a resource estimate-stay tuned! It is becoming clearer all the time of the mine plan. Simply blow-up the South side of the mountain and let gravity do its work. Lipangue will make an excellent 3 sided quarry. Cheers!
