And here is a response that Hurricane_Rick received from brecchiaboy referencing the similarities of Aurelian Resources to Medinah Minerals Lipangue project.

I would like to share a post from brecciaboy on the MP thread (reformatted by me for readability) which is in response to a post of mine where I referenced a great (and oft-cited) article about the Aurelian Resources story by Dirk Masuch (geologist, author). The main gist of the article is a chronicle of how the company-making "Fruta del Norte" property in Ecuador essentially made the company and which resulted in an astonishing rise in share price for Aurelian from .68 to $40 over a period of a few months in 2006. Aurelian was later bought out by Kinross. The purpose of the article and its reference is not so much to draw comparisons of value between Medinah Minerals and Aurelian, nor is it to draw comparisons of value between Medinah's Alto de Lipangue and Aurelian's Fruta del Norte deposits. Rather, the author makes distinct points about how shareholders were given every opportunity by Aurelian to see the value and the potential that their Fruta del Norte deposit held right there in the public domain of the company's website. Medinah offers the same opportunity for shareholders, investors and speculators to simply put the pieces together that they've laid out on their website, in the geological reports by ACA Howe, Vancouver Petrographics, et al and the Satellite Imaging and Summary Report by C.S. Perez. It's all there for shareholders to review and come to their own determination.
Brecciaboy does an excellent job of noting many of the various examples and clues that have been reported by Medinah in one form or another to shareholders as to the consistent and homogenous mineralization that has been found on Alto de Lipangue to date...especially on the heals of the company discovering the new gold quartz vein at LDM while doing preparatory excavation to sink the shaft to reach a different high mineralization gold zone.
"Hurricane Rick,
You beat me to the punch! After seeing yesterday’s news about the new 2 meter wide quartz vein with visible gold I immediately thought of Dirk Masuch’s article that you just posted on Dr. Keith Barron’s (Aurelian) Fruta Del Norte deposit. I don’t think I’ve ever met Masuch but he literally chews out his investors at NGI for not figuring out ahead of time that FDN was an obvious homerun. He basically says that any moron that even briefly reviewed the website could tell what was obviously there.
So I started once again reviewing the satellite survey, the petrographics reports, the ACA Howe reports, my notes from interviewing Gordon House for many, many hours, etc. It seems that every single time a metal blade be it on a drill bit or an excavator bucket removes rock at ADL they seem to find something .
Older mountains like that are always covered with oxides and weathered material (regolith). They don’t look sexy at all nor do the surface findings assay very well either. Being in an area with a lot of sulphides meteoric water (rain) interacts with the sulphides to create a dilute sulphuric acid. The metals dissolve in it and head downwards into the ground until they encounter the water table. There they precipitate out of solution and form a “supergene enrichment blanket” of high grade metals.
o When they removed the oxide layer to put in the North Road there was mineralization everywhere. Due to the steepness, they actually had to dynamite out 1.5 Km of that road.
o In Dr. Kleen’s video every time JJ broke open a rock you could see chalcopyrite and chalcocite all over the place.
o Two holes were drilled at LDM, one had excellent results and the other had unbelievably good results ( 464 gm/tonne gold ). What are the odds? If there were 100 holes drilled to date at the LDM and one had those spectacular results you’d immediately say “it’s the nugget effect”.
o At the Gordon Pipe 14 of 18 holes hit pay dirt. What are the odds?
o The excavator operator preparing for the commencement of the horizontal tunnel finds a 2 meter wide quartz vein with visible gold. What are the odds?
o For 7 miles from both east to west and north to south at ADL you find regular spacings of mineralized outcroppings.
o In the Caren and Puange Basin at the base of the hill you find rich placer deposits. Where did that gold come from?
o The petrographics report reports wave after wave of “pulses” of hydrothermal fluids laden with metals depositing their contents into the nooks and crannies of the mountain over a gazillion year time period.
o The “remote sensor analyst” cites a “world class deposit” with 2 porphyries and “about a dozen” recognizable intrusives.
o ACA Howe notes that the property just happens to be at the 33-degree south latitude area which happens to be a “primary tectonic segment boundary”, one of two in Chile. The other is at the Candelaria Mine. For some reason there was a bunch of “extra” tectonic activity at these areas, enough so to create a bridging from the Coastal Range to the Andes. The top of our mountain actually blew off and there we sit with a plateau in the midst of nothing but conical mountains. How much explosive activity happened in the belly of that mountain over all of those years?
Should we be shocked that the excavator operator found some serious goodies when he removed a couple of meters of oxidized rock a full 7 miles west of the rich copper moly areas? Should we be shocked that the mountain of discards (tailings) outside of the adit to the LDM Mine is running at 5.3 grams per tonne gold? At what point in time do statistical realities become non-coincidental?
