KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As a geologist, it is important not to have tunnel vision. Pigeonholing deposits prevent you from discovering other ores or minerals that may be present.
• Tesoro Resources is in control of over 600sq km of concessions, in Chile.
• Since 2017, they have drilled over 105,000 metres.
• Using a unique approach, they have uncovered a million-ounce-plus resource quickly.
• Being able to drill diamond cores early has played a significant role in their success.
• The few drill holes that have not resulted in finds taught them a huge amount.
• So far, they have identified 10 potential deposits.
• In Chile, both power and water can be an issue. But neither is a problem in the area Tesoro Resources operates in.
• There are plenty of very experienced miners available for work in Chile.
