Hi Mike. Report says they used a bulldozer to expose the brecca so 200 meters seems a bit extreme! This is an "outcrop", breccia's are very rarely exposed. The Los Pelambres copper/gold property and the Luksic Group property north of Santiago had there "sighting of the breccia on the surface as well". But the Cap is called a cap for a reason! The cap is generally in the shape of a Dome! That dome maybe 200 metres thick, with ease! If its mineralized, its gravy!!If not its overburden! The outcrops are generally located down the mountainside where the mountain falls away and exposes the breccia outcrop! A clue to the real depth of the breccia can be determined by how far you locate breccia outcrops down the mountainside.So if you find breccia 300 metres down the mountain.....odds are your breccia is still at 300 metres and your copper/gold/porphry is below that. You can't side wall evacuate a copper/porphry deposit, you must remove the overburden! Also, "samples of the breccia and wall rock showed anomalous values in gold, copper etc.." Sounds to me that the brecca is mineralized. Please explain! Thanks! Samples are surface and contamination through migration can and will give anomalous values! Breccia by its very nature can also migrate in its consistency and content. That is to say it can contain silver in one area and in another contain absolutely no silver but now contain gold!! Also in all my years of investing in mining stocks, if you never ever remember any rules except one, here is the one to remember!! A geologist never "GRABS" dirt, so never never put any credence in GRAB SAMPLES" the Chief
