>I see another 10 gravity targets aside from TG-1 and TG-3 on the map. TG-1 is 42 million tonnes; TG-3 another 40 million tonnes??; TG-6 another 40 million tonnes??;

I agree. And TG1 is getting bigger. TG3 looks like it could be another Flin Flon (63 tonnes), or more... 100 ? maybe.

> VMS deposits usually average near 2% copper (e.g. Kidd Creek, Flin Flon, Horne).<

The Horne deposit has some nice gold values, but the average for the Noranda camp is 2.2% Cu, 4.3% Zn, 1.0 g/t Au, 38 g/t Ag. Funny, I think I've seen similar numbers somewhere recently...

Question for you... TG4, TG1, TG7, STG-07, STG-08 are all anomalies which are close friends with the Rio Puira. Is that a coincidence, or does one expect the VMS deposits in the basin to occur at the low points?

TG7 has three gravity highs in the area, one on the papayo property. TG6 is interesting -- the major axis of TG3 points right at it, and then continuing along that line you get B-03 (a little pocket of Papayo) and then STG-03 (Lancones).

Hello Bruce, I have not seen the map with the anomalies. Why was TG-3 drilled first? As you say there are 10 anomalies, the question is was the best drilled first? This is a hard question. Anomalies are a function of the depth and size. TG-3 is very deep.

Again TG-1 will make it or break it. Moving costs for the town will be huge. Besides building houses, you have to build new colleges, banks, schools, power plants, etc.
