Now you ARE sounding like a run-of-the-mill analyst . . . staking ground just in case it pans out that way. 
Glad I remembered to read that in a mirror since I tend to go off chasing all the great sounding claims I hear, even at the bar and grocery.
Oh yea, similarly I guess I forgot. The porphyry size and the gold resulting are without doubt on a 1 to 1. How could I be so blinded? Here I had been thinking the porphyry body was the source of heat to drive processes that might have been present, pumping fluids that might have had the right acidity and gold dissolving ability, and pumping those past sufficiently porous rock that had high enough trace of gold that could be dissolved, and pumping those on into ground rock with the right cooling and pressure reduction and neutralizing chemistry to cause the gold to come out of solution in loads and veins instead of travelling on until it eventually got disseminated all over as the fluid reached surface temperature and pressure. How could I ever had been so short sighted? I guess it really didn't matter about the amount of ultramafics or their fracturing, or if there was water around there while the porphyry was implaced and cooling.
Doh! It has been all about the porphyry and only the porphyry all along and I just couldn't see it.
Well, live and learn. I guess I'll just have to see it as a lesson.
Thanks for the reminder InXS. Guess I better put the mirror down now.
