I agree on the past. They seem to be spending a lot more in recent times on the property, i.e., MMI and geochem. analysis.

That would be my take, too.

I don't think WTC San Nicolas outcropped, did it? Not sure about Charcas.

I'm not sure that they have good outcrop to work with. The only cut into bedrock was from a water drill hole. This assayed > 1 oz/tonne silver, but I'm not convinced the drill hole was in the ideal location, relative to the soil anomalies.

Good points. It's a speculation at this point. I like the size of the anomalies, and the apparent high-grade zinc values along a N-S trend. It looks like a good speculation, if they handle it correctly (i.e., JV one of the 2 prospects).
Thanks for your perspective.
