Jeff, A connection won't show up for several possible reasons. The most probable is because the line spacing on the gravity survey is too wide to pick up smaller features (e.g. line spacing 100 meters will only see objects that are larger than 200 meters- intersect two lines). Or, the trend line is parallel to the survey lines (the feature you want to see in geophysics has to ideally be perpendicular to the lines).The fault system does not spew out sulfides along it's entire length. It only does so at certain points. If you want to see what VMS look like when they are forming (at present), pull out and dust off your National Geographic Magazine- November 1994, Rebirth of a Deep Sea Vent, PG 114. Teck would probably wait until they needed to expand their reserves- near the death of those deposits to do anything about a trend <g>. Look what happened at Louvicourt- the mine was going to shut down and Jim Gill & Co at Aur Resources optioned the property, did some deep drilling and found another orebody. The orebody was found by using stratigraphy (trend lines) and borehole EM surveys to pin-point the best direction to drill.
