MIKE: Good post to Rich519 especially regarding the narrow pipes something like we have at Lipangue which may suggest a large porphyry deposit. The only thing we need now is to turn the drills!! The Gipper

To Rich519 on RB thread: "How consistent in ore grade at the Lepanto porphery in the Philippines. Is the ore grade in a porhery usually consistant or is there great variation? What is the comparison of the grade of the ore in the Lepanto breccia pipes versus the Lepanto porphery? Just a couple questions from someone who knows little about geology except for your posts." Rich, the breccia pipe at Lepanto/Far Southeast porphyry does not contain ore grade gold or copper as is the case with most breccia pipes!(Lepanto deposit is actually a nearby epithermal body. The Far Southeast Porphyry associated with this epithermal body contains a barren pipe but the second highest grade copper/gold porphyry in SE Asia behind Grasberg.) Medinah hopes that since the previous drill program intercepted ore grade minerlization in the pipe-that even better minerlization will be found in the porphyry. At Lepanto, the porphyry averages .86% Cu and 2.02 g/t Au-from a map I have-the results seem to be consistent over the porphyry and increase somewhat with depth. Cheers!
