Since we are talking about other mines today-take a look at this rather stunning picture of the Grasberg mine:

Using my imagination-I can almost picture Lipangue looking like this in a few years.

Here's a 3D representation of the minerlization at Grasberg:

Most of the minerlization at Grasberg is contained in porphyry quartz stockworks-there is even significant Skarn type deposits adjacent to the porphyry stock.(Recall the Skarn(Mantos)deposits at Los Dos Maris-about the same relative distance from the porphyry.)

Here' a historical time line of the Grasberg Mine from initial discovery until full production:

Note that it does take awhile to get things going!
