Vein widths

In our NR,s about the drill intercepts, we only had test portions of the core that were quartz sampled. These tests did not reflect the widths of the mineralization encountered, but were rather just small portions, (partial) results. If you look at my diagram below you will see some reasons why our intercepts should have been longer at depth, not the 9-10 cm intervals in the NR. Although we have narrow veins on the property, the intervals reported should be a lot longer IMO, if they are to properly represent veins. It is stated that the veins get wider at depth, so IMO these intercepts should most likely have been much wider at depths when you add in the angle of the drill hole. If you look at the true width of the vein where the drill hole intercepted it, you will see that its around 40cm in this diagram, but when you account for the angle of intercept, it makes the width of the vein appear much wider than it is, and could register for ex; around 60 cm there.The true widths are the important ones when we start to figure out resource. This diagram is not representitive of any particular vein of the Tesoro, but just a general drawing for explanation purposes only.
