Claude,

It is beyond my capability to expand on this theory, nor to confirm or deny it, yet I can quote Tom shrake who said in an earlier speech at pacrim-mining.com

Pacific Rim recently collected a string of samples along the Luicho Fault but outside of the structural corridor, which returned 1.1 g/t Au over approximately 300 meters. This mineralization in the Luicho Fault is 175 meters or so into the stratigraghic section which provides clues to what we expect to see in the same stratigraphic position within the corridor. This evidence suggests that the epithermal system has a minimum vertical component of 175 meters and that the stratigraphic interval that can host mineralization is at least 175 meters thick. We also take comfort in the knowledge that adularia-sericite systems on average, have a greater vertical component than the acid sulfate systems, on average. Of course every system has its own unique plumbing system and there are no guarantees but given the steep fault zones that control the mineralization at Luicho, we remain optimistic that we will see a significant vertical component to this particular system.

This news release www2.cdn-news.com also appears to confirm vertical continuity.
Ninety-seven of the new samples (represented by 11 channels) were collected from cliff faces. These samples were taken primarily from the Northeast Zone and cover vertical dimensions ranging from 11 to 25 meters. Assay results from these samples confirm the continuity of grade in a vertical dimension and mimic, with local variation, the results of adjacent surface samples. Vertical sampling results include: 4.15 g/t gold over 21 meters vertically; 1.40 g/t gold over 21 meters; 2.58 g/t gold over 17 meters; and, 0.81 g/t gold over 25 meters.

Hope this helps,

Qd
