INTERESTING -
Warrants expired.
Sprott holds the common shares.
Interesting turn of events.

I wonder what's next up ?
if the drills are still turning - and if a few step out holes punched, and perhaps a tie in,
Things could get interesting - faith in - what's below in ouncs + % - could revive this stock.
Historicals at Alwyn's fault can rack up the copper pounds fast, and i'm hoping they reconsider
the - shaft copper ores - comparing the vein geology to that of the shaft, in plight of, asking the question - did replacement ores wash in from up north or Wanapetei dumping in higher grade ores ?
GHow deep could that pocket be ( circular ) depression west of fault and how much ore could have piled in ?
It's said, Lake Wanapetei has up to 35m of silts at the bottom.
North shore of Wanapetei has sand dunes...
i look at this Scadd region in three fashions.
local alterations
Northern watershed and Wanapetei alterations
And the macro... really expansive - whereas, most all of ontario and few provices out west were al lunder water. Quality mpas removing much of hte vegatation reveals this...
Old watershed stryations can be still seen affecting the lanscapes in a north to south western fashion.
Glade - has really nice gold intercepts.
The watershed pathway from Scadd to South pit to Glade is a small window - but, still an apex point that may have dumped gold off the shelf, down into Glades interior.
Where BMK is drilling just west of this portal window,
Yes... indeed there's a watershed affect coming from Wanapetei to Alkin to Galde,
But... how much did Wanapetei affect Glade ? Did the Bristol outcrop impede as a barrier ?
Were the northern watersheds more effective ?
Size of gold in cores comparing North Pit to South pit to Glade - would revela lots.
Not just the ore greology... but how does the gold look at Glade vs Scadd or North pit...?
Larger VG gold around scadd and North Pit.
More silicaized ores perhaps less pyrites....?
As for Glade... my wonderment is... could the calcium carbonate caustics - have chewed down - the gold into smaller factions. Reducing the size of gold flake to fines?
Back to Alwyn...
with all the reports i've read on Rathburn right down to Scadding - and westerly, to the dam showing near bonanza, where i call those claims - OPAP - giggles...
Most would agree that rathburn ores are different geology... ( obviously )
But... the question rwmains - how much ore fro mthis region entered into Alwyn anf Jerome ?
Vesus, the geology interteines naturally ?
Peehaps a mix of both occured.
Which brings into question - the pocketed areas...
Swamps and small lakes ( former depressions ) recieivng the loose till ores with a variety matrix of micas and pyrites where the gold and copper are more pornounced ?
My hunch says... high odds.
Fact ofthe matter... most former explorers verredfrom the swamps, and hit the visable veinsat surface.. .hoping for somwething interesting brought up from the veins or faults.
And as so... one has to weight the oddsin a stance of -
does one drill the ( ugly ) pockets which is far dirtier - looking for that schmetite pyrite mica, near conglomerate matrix in higher grade ore where the lower depression would capture such ore ?
Or, stick to the easy accessable - clean veins - or faults - hoping for something ?
Direction of shaft ?
Some could argue it faces towards the current drilling, while the old map suggests the shaft points the other way. Keep in mind, there are " 2 " visable veins at surface that are runningwith the fault line and swarm of quarts veins north of the shaft hole. I'm not there ot see which way the shaft is pointed - i'm merely going off of an old map -
But suppose the shaft were pointed towards the arched outcrop and fault - one still has ot question - are the ores from the shaft " same as " fault line vein ?
If they're completely different...and if the ores from shaft are an assemblage of mixed matrix
that is not vein material and is of higher grade - then... what's going on ?
It would point to... the depression encalve capturing other ores brought in.
And.. if a depression and shaftwas not dug that deep, were thety really mining a vein at the shaft, or, can veins reoccur amongst a mixed ore brought in ?
It'snot hard to envision - veining could redevelop - were talking sulphide acids, alkai acids, and crystal structures... just add water for growth - .which involves how a geo precieves a vein, or quasi style veining that could occur on own after time - which this quasi swarm veining - is in the immediate area of the shaft, just north -
Glade looks really wonderful - long intercepts - just a tie in to 20 - 046...
Would be a helluva strike.. .can they do it.. .is the gold ore from 20 - 046 connecting to Glade ?
And..really long intercepts at Alwyn.
Not going to knock it... i like it... alot.
But.. if one were to dril lthe depression - could the ore matrix be different just as it is in the shaft with far higher grade copper to the tne of -10x more richer ?
Cheers....
Last post correction -
Maybe it's best NOT for small juniors to have -
large tracts of lands aside of a city with major miners in need of ores...
Maybe it's best... for the lands and reosurces to be sold.
Why walk that road of misery ?
lol
Many of the words i type don't show... .odd.
Oh, well.. out of my hands after it's posted.
ugh.
Aas for typos... this editor box has it in for me - tease.
It seems to have " memory " imprint.
