I agree that there was no attempt to misrepresent the the Tesoro based on the test holes sampled.

Based on the hole locations I wouldn't expect to find much gold.

If you plot the drill hole locations on the anomaly plots it appears the holes have been carefully selected to be on the edge of any anomaly.

Holes 7,8,14.4 for example all appear to be on the edge of anomalies.

Hole 3 just misses a very small isolated anomaly and almost looks like a hole drilled to confirm the accuracy of the IP Chargeability data.

Hole locations for 37,38,39 are in the NE corner right on the edge of an anomaly.

Same applies for 4 and 40.

Why a hole in the apparent centre of any significant anomaly was not drilled is any shareholders guess.

The facts as presented todate seem to be accurate

Sli ran out of funds, which is true and the drill program halted, that cannot be denied.

Has the potential value of the Tesoro been identified based on what has been presented, I would have to say not even close.

Have we been misled - no, facts are facts.

I still feel strongly there is much to be discovered in Tesoro, hopefully for the benifit of the current shareholders.

For the folks who disagree with my opinion, I hope you combine the 2 plots before you provide feedback.

Thank you for reading this

To become an expert in any field usually requires a great deal of study and experience. In most professions or any occupation for that matter it is not acceptable to make false claims,or knowingly mislead people.Therefore when you are relying on information supplied by company executives who in a previous life would have been snake oil salespersons, how can anyone claim to be an expert in making investments, I guess that is why I am a lay person - I dont know the answer.

How does an expert identify a half truth or non truth , without insider information.

Are there shareholders out there concerned enough about what work may or may not be happening at Tesoro to donate funds towards paying travel expenses for a team to visit Tesoro.

Perhaps a few shareholders who are familiar with the site geology have the time to make a site visit.

I would make a donation.

If you know something about about SLI's business that has not been made public, it was gained from an insider confirming thoughts about leaked information.

During the talk you had was there any mention of what work is being done to progress any of SLI's properties?

Finally I find it very disturbing that you use a term like 'Pry Tesoro from her cold dead hand'. This is a crazy world we live in[eg armed guards at our AGM], people have lost their life savings investing in SLI, what are you suggesting?

To the administration of this forum the Hyperman article with this statement in it, in my opinion should be removed.

SLI

If you haven't already listened to this interview in Bejing of Norman Mackinnon,

please take the time to do so. It seems to contradict the last sentence of your post.

In the interview he mentions selling waste rock "run of the mill rock", which had a gold

content of 11/2 oz!

I wonder who bought the rock?

If you haven't done so yet - plot the drill hole locations on the Anomaly T8 diagram.

It may help understand why the reported results were no where near inflated expectations.

Thats all I have to say about that.
