A little perspective.

Two lines of very high readings are 1.5 kms apart at E1 North anomaly. At E1 South anomaly 3 kms to the south (on the other side of a deep arroyo) similar very high readings are found. Typical width is a minimum 100 meters on west side of anomalies.

If we take the contamination theory, let's assume high readings of 4% zinc only go 0.5 metres deep. Let's also be very conservative and assume total length of highly enriched area at only 2 kms x 100 metres wide.

On the above very conservative basis, there would be a minimum 100,000 cu. meters of highly enriched material. Considering that a large earth mover as used for road building can hold about 25 cu. metres, it would have taken 4,000 loads to deposit this material.

4,000 loads is a lot of trips and material.... a major contract... and remember we are being very conservative. Further, it was dumped on either side of a deep arroyo. In reality, it had to have been dumped over a length exceeding 8 kms.

Perhaps the above happened but I find it highly unlikely.
