I suppose if one wished to be totally conservative a reduction to .63% may be warranted.....however, Los Pelambres and El Pachon are copper porphries and not copper-gold porphries/ gold-copper porphries. This insinuates higher internal temperatures when the geology was formed. The prescence of carbons supports that theory. Therefore a 1% Cu is an acceptable guess (on my part). I have literally discounted the presence of "any" gold in my assumptions...so any "finds" will "up the deposit value" raising average cash cost values per tonne to an equivalent 1% or higher.

What do you think the IP anomoly is indicating? Is it showing the whole porphyry or just the minerlized breccia zone? If the rumor is true,and the anomoly is close to the surface-suggests the breccia zone. Would mean the underlying porphyry could be considerbly larger than your stated dimensions at depth.

I am guessing the size as stated earlier...I have no "insider info", so can't speculate a guess on a guess...if you know what I mean!
