GC CLAIMS Maybe the Geo knows something ( bigger ) than meets the
eye - when speaking of,
GC Claims. I myself, have not researched too much about -
RUBIDIUM. Kind of new to my, mineral searches.
Which prompted -
searching out the price.
I expected - high prices but.... in tonnage value.
Too my surprize - its graded in -
grams and ounces.... I raised my brow...lol
More pricier than, gold.
Recent spot prices for rubidium metal have ranged from
$36.00 per gram up to US$130.00 per gram
(US$1080 to US$3640 per ounce)
depending on purity So, i researched photos online.

I then pulled forward, GC Claim photos.
- noticed the pegmatite swarms.
- and surprizingly - 2 intrusion contact geology zones outside swarms.
- one grey
- one iron hosted with brown oxide and red oxide
I surmized,
if the iron is oxidizing brown, then.....
Could the apparent reds be - Rubidium ?
GC Claims have suddenly - piqued my interest...
not because of of the lithium ( ugh ) but the REE potentials.
Now..... drill hole placements are important.
Especially with 2 contact zones.
If peg's are drilled - could host ( only a bleed ) of Rb.
My hunch says.... the higher grade Rb could be hosted in the
Irons.

Could it be hematite ?
Sure... but, given the presence of, REE's....
It could also be where the Rubidium is emminating from.
