<<I'm very cautious about betting on gravity anomalies. They usually don't provide economic values. >>

I would agree that most anomaly have no economic values.

But all VMS deposits are within a gravity anomaly. The trend formed by TG-1, TG3-, TG-7 and B-2 improved the odds, that TG-1 is not alone to be mineralized.

In other words, in all occurences of multiple gravity anomalies where one gravity contains economic quantity of minerals, you will find another one like it. I am not aware of standalone VMS deposits.

I suggest that you take notice of the MAN gravity anomalies. They happen to be near a massive sulfide lens (Tambo Grande) and are thus very significant. If you would like to educate yourself on geophysics please go to this impartial Canadian Government site:

gdcinfo.agg.nrcan.gc.ca

This person explains what gravity anomalies proximal to massive sulfide deposits represent. I like the quote about how the Neves Corvo mine (in Portugal) would never have been discovered if they had not drilled the gravity anomaly. If you wish to further educate yourself on how mines are found in the modern age, I can refer you to an article which explains in more detail how the Neves Corvo was discovered- de Carvalho, D. "A Case History of the Neves-Corvo Massive Sulfide Deposit, Portugal and Implications for Future Discoveries" pp. 314-334 in Economic Geology Monograph 8 "Historical Perspectives of Genetic Concepts and Case Histories of Famous Discoveries", 1991, published by the Society of Economic Geologists. You can probably find it in your local university's library.

Of course, the drilling results on MAN's property will show the significance of gravity anomalies near Tambo Grande. IMO, I hope you cover your short...
