Chief, thanks! Just a few more questions.. a)How far/direction are the vein deposits from the suspected porphyry? b)How far/direction are the carbonate deposits from porphyry? c)How many kilometers of IP/restivity are planned? 3-D? How deep? As you know Chief, looks like there is some weakness in the crust in this area; almost always the underlying geology is more complicated than what is initially believed. It is likely that a series of events occurred here. In the case of the gold veins; veins tend to develop directly above a heat source such a small intrusive pluton(unless faulted away!)-not much forms laterally to a heat source because it cools rapidly-good chance the veins are from a separate small event! I believe the porphyry is a far distance laterally from these gold veins? (Example: Andicollo-West of Corin has a large COPPER porphyry surrounded by dozens of large gold veins, gold mantos deposits and placers. It turns out in that case, the gold all came from a separate event completely unrelated to the event that formed that porphyry but the events overlapped each other. It took detailed fluid inclusion studies to prove this-ie temperatures the formations were formed at.) As far as the chip samples-well you know and I know that geologists don't like to sample dirt! More than likely, that shinny piece of rock at the outcropping was what was sampled not the dull gray stuff! Still, checking with my Economic Geology journal articles with the location of the property makes it clear that it is a toss-up whether it is copper or gold/copper porphyry. I do like the time table for the IP and for drill to start. Also love to hear a company say no dilution! Still watching Chief-convince me!
