Hi Terry: You may want to give George Coburn at Stroud (SDR) a call since he's based in Toronto. I found him a real pleasure to chat to at the PDAC. He was much more interested in explaining the history, geology and challenges of drilling this thing than he was in hyping it. And as I've spent a lot of time in Mexico I love talking about this stuff! The Santo Domingo project is riddled with old adits, but as a percentage of what's there only a small amount of the high grade stuff was removed by the Spaniards. They could only extract the weathered mineralized high grade ore. I like this extract from the project description on SDR's website... <<In 1994, a government agency (Consejo de Recursos Minerales) took 347 samples from the rock dumps left behind by the Spanish miners. The rock dumps contain 21,595 tonnes of rock averaging 308 grams (9.9 ounces) per tonne silver and 1.53 grams (0.05 ounces) per tonne gold. Based on this sampling and Stroud’s more recent sampling, grades average approximately 8.0 ounces silver per tonne and 0.02 ounces gold per tonne with high grade (over 45 ounces silver per tonne) sections in the breccia zones.>> Re Tumi, I used to own it but didn't have much luck -- and I have a rule to never go back to a stock I lost money on -- although of course all rules are made to be broken! Best of luck with your research -- and let's hope we get the chance for our $600 POG get together soon! Best regards, Howy
