I've already asked lots of questions about the metallurgy. The disclosure is inadequate in my opinion but I don't have any first hand info. I don't think it's a scam but I believe it will go down as another high-class promotion. Also, they've said lots about the average grade but they haven't published a drill hole with assays over any intervals that I'm aware of. I believe there may be a continuity problem as well. Well see.

>also, there are a FEW known VMS deposits with high gold and or silver grades, but they are small, tonnage wise and have a different metallic signature and are usually metalurgically complex..... < A different metallic signature than what? High gold and silver grades are not uncommon in the fringe of the VMS lens. >and I am suspicious of the gold numbers from the sulphide zone..< You apparently have a press release before the rest of us. There are no gold numbers from the sulphide zone except from some limited sampling.

<<This target is a low grade VMS deposit....>> 2% copper, 1.5% zinc, 1 opt silver... that is average for a VMS. <I can understand SOME gold enrichment n the oxidized zone and I am suspicious of the gold numbers from the sulphide zone >> Why.. More than 50% of the VMS deposits have gold with an average near 1g/t. Why not here. <<.....have there been independent sampling by a recognized consulting group and assaying with a verified chain of possession ...>> BGRM France, Bondar Clegg...Manhattan... You know who they are? <<There are a FEW known VMS deposits with high gold and or silver grades, but they are small, tonnage wise and have a different metallic signature and are usually metalurgically complex >> The Horne deposit: 54M tons of 2.2% copper, 13 g/t Ag and 6.1 g/t gold. The Quemon deposit (1km north of Horne) 13M tons of 1.32% copper, 2.44% zinc, 31 g/t Ag and 5.5 g/t gold. Also in Manitoba, the Flin Flon deposit had a remarkable 63 million tons of 2.2% copper, 4.10% zinc, 43.2 g/t Ag and 2.85 g/t gold. In British Columbia, Canada, which resembles Peru in its geological settings: the Westmin deposits total 19M tons of high grade copper and zinc with 2.2g/t gold Those are a few big ones in Canada. Nothing complex about these deposit. Are you sure you know whgat you are talking about... again, more than 50% of the VMS deposits have gold. <<this isn't going to end up as another TSE based mining stock scam.....>> Like if there were many scams on the TSE... Ridiculous.
