<<<<I still can't figure out how a trained geologist could see so much promise in Luicho from the surface sampling, only to have so little under the ground. Wouldn't most geologists have realized that sort of thing happens>>>>,

Many companies and geologists knew this. Luicho was excellent prospect to pursue however most would not spend 7,000,000 like Tom Shrake did. I am a Geologist and I would have taken only 1000 samples and drilled only a few holes. I would not have brought 2 rigs from outside the country. This is nuts. I would have hired a local contractor for the initial drilling and I would of spent only 1/10 of what Tom spent to kill property.

I guess I am just a better Geologist than Tom.
