Chief, recieved investor packet in the mail today.
A couple of comments.

It includes a map that clearly shows the copper/gold veins in relation to the breccia zone.
Almost all the veins are Southeast about 1 to 3 kilometers away. It does appear to me to be a relationship between the veins and breccia zone;
however, curious that most are a good distance to SE. Suggests to me that the subsurface intrusive may not be under the breccia cap at the surface-something may have been shifted/faulted away? Seems odd.

In regards to the overburden, the investor package clearly indicates signinficant overburden is present over the suspected porphyry. There is a sketch that compares the Corin to the Los Pelambres which clearly shows the an erosional level coparision-the Los Pelambres caped is significantly thinner than the Corin. I didn't see where you came up with your over burden info.

In regards to the drilling that has already been completed. I checked the coordinates of the drill holes to the geology map provided; looks like the drilled right down where the surface features indicated is the center but the results where dissappointed. This to me means that we either have just a plain vanilla copper porhyry or my theory that the intrusive has been displaced to the SE is reason that the drill results missed the porphyry. What do you think? Thanks.
