Hey Noo1, from what is known (and this is still a developing field of study we might add) it is not entirely out of the question but it will take almost a reclassification to achieve. Though as for believing I'll tell you and everyone else for that matter what I see & why.


Donlin Creek, which has been criticized as not being a pure RIRGS had a reported323 Mt of 2.7 g/t AU as identified in Hart JR "Reduced Intrusion Related Gold Systems" 2007

"Due to the evolving understanding of this deposit class, and the injudicious incorporation of numerous international examples, the associated tectonic settings are poorly constrained, with back-arc, foreland fold belts, collisional, post ollisional, and magmatic arc settings in orogenic belts
having all been proposed (e.g., Thompson et al., 1999; Goldfarb et al., 2000).Examples of widely varying global and generally poorly understood settings for major RIRGS include the Paleo-Tethys sutures, the margins of the North China Craton, the Tasman Orogen, the northern North American Cordilleran orogen, and the Andes"

Whilst another poster has been researching the area and noted;

"I've researched a fair bit on tectonic plates and subduction zones etc as well as earthquakes and fault lines. Really at the end of the day it's all a gamble but if gold was close to the coast line the subduction zone would be right on par with El Zorro. Put into place subduction zone shifting and magma and gold rising into intrusive rocks. Combine that with an area that is known for major earthquakes + volacanoes and I think we are onto something possibly special. Still learning a heap about all this kind of stuff on youtube but I'm sure pustayo could shed more light".
How special we ask??
Well, for my money, I put a lot faith in the sketch map below and the consulting geologist who drew it up..




Why? Because there are markers all over the site that correspond with the geological sketch attached.. Top of Torro Blanco shown..


That dark rock EZT you can see stretches for all the way to Toro Gordo and completes a 5 kilometre long strike. mapped as Zeff said..
Below that and to the South 2 kilometres away is Buzzard .. Which itself is 100 x 750

Extensive gold bearing vein system identified at Buzzard
Channel sampling results include
6.00m @ 7.06 g/t Au and 3.00m @ 5.23g/t Au

"Buzzard emerging as a new gold target within the El Zorro Gold project and confirms a gold
mineralised system over 5km in length across the Buzzard, Ternera and Toro Blanco prospects."
Large gold bearing vein system identified over an area of approximately 1,100m long and
750m wide – open in all directions.

Also, you may remember Zeff saying we could be deeper than 300 metres at Ternera.. I tend to agree!!!!! 300 metre depth shown with iceberg still below


And finally... The whole area is covered in granodiorite.. containing up to 20% quartz and very similar to Tonalite..


All part of this late intrusive stress field... Which thanks to Toro Gordo we know contains mineralisation... And also because there are old workings at key areas as per the sketch map showing the red faults in Dr Nick Olivers work..


As I said, we would have to be special... Special enough to warrant Zeff spending several hundred thousand dollars to have the field independently mapped by 3 consultants (Dr Nick Oliver being 1) & then assessed by Dr Frederico Cernuschi, before having a report authored and "Peer Reviewed" by an authoritative expert before being signed off... So maybe we should a run a few more calcs cause this whole area seems a little special to me.. ;-)

Donkey Town, be sure to visit and tell em Nicky sent ya.... hehehe 8H
