Ralph, how many visible surface shows are their in the world with native copper (this one has) that have never been touched by the indigenous peoples of that region? Answer: Few to NONE! Navidad is exceptionally rare and exists only because because mining and smelting were not in the culture of the native peoples of Patagonia. So this could be a monster deposit. If it occurred in Africa the locals would have mined the easy shallow high grade and the British or French Dutch what have you would have exploited the rest in the days of Empire.

Did God make the world in 2D?

1) Fransisco Gold was on the side of a hill so the third dimension was already exposed.

2) Abber was already drilled!! We were waiting for the confirmation of the Bulk sample. The reverse of Kilborns Bre-X confirmation of no Gold.

3) Ariquipa had the third dimesion in the addits. We waited for drilling this was risky.

4) IMA has the 6km strike with the huge soil shows and rich vein swarms. How could the Silver be all over the 6km and nothing at depth?
