I think the first explorer drilling Scadding did what every other explorer did. They made a beeline for - exposed outcrops.
After all... it's the easiest rock to scope out.
What was the gold found in @ Scadding ? Look at the tailings pile ( irons + chlorites )
What do i think about the outcrops ? They came at a later time - faulting, and spewed an over lay.
What do i think about drilling the quartz grey outcrops ? You don't want to know... wink.
All kidding aside... drilling the outcrops is not productive. Faults open up, spew the aluminum quartz silicates and... by happen chance - gold is sometimes found in this matrix.
DRILLING -
When i see past explorers and current explorer drilling around Scadd, i see acute azimuths
in which most likely ( pass rght through ) the white grey outcrops... and right into the breccia chlorite, iron zones.
The grey outcrops... are attractive... but,
the good stuff will be found in the
breccia, irons,
pyrrotites, pyrite, micas, and irons. TWO KINDS OF - GOLD By now... most know what i think of - watersheds and ( foreign ores with gold and other minerals )
brought in from elsewhere. The maps i review ( takeaway all vegatation ) only leaving the subterrain rock formations - which points to - watershed pathways, even seeing smoothed over rocks left from rushing waters. Nothern influence, Asgigami influence and Wanapitei. Wanapitei influence is limited, there's higher elevation going east of Scadding that created a stoppage of Wanapitei from sprawling futher east - this higher elevation is on the other side of Ashigami.. thus, Wanapitei went as far as, Asahigami... then, southerly. ( own opinion ) which could make Jovan an entirely different system.
The lowlands will have the foreign ores covered by vegatation, and well, even some flat lands in which one will have to refer to terrain maps to spot these zones.
In my opinion... one could drill almost anywhere around Scadding and at depth hit the - breccia chlorites. Which one has to bring into question - why ?
Meteor impact ?
Or... larger faulting system that's nearby... such as, the western river system that flushes out of south end of Wanapitei. It does have a gorge, therefore... it could be the distruptus for the surrounding area that created a breccia lense below . This same lense ( other drilling reports ) does run even further north to Buggs lake.
What's threowing me off is... the significant chlorite.
At the depth it's at.
While, onlt surficial chlorite staining is seen in some areas.
Meaning - i've reviewed several outcrops and many have chlorite staining only a few inches thick.
Did it come up with the aluminum gret quartz outcrops ?
Or... was there an overlay of salt waters long ago ?
Anlyzing several of the chlorite cores - reveals fractured quartz, and what appears as, silica sized quartz stained chlorite. Which is quite interesting t osee a lone piece of gold amongst it.
RATHBURN AREA -
Has the irons from upper western side of Wanapitei right down to Alwyn.
Inventus has a mix of geology going on - sulphides, irons, and sand stone lenses. Reminds me of the sand dunes at the top end of Lake Wanapitei.
MACRO ?
i analyzed a satelite map the other evening - looking north of Wanapitei...
There was a massive weatershed effect long ago.... West of timmins down to matheson, to mattagami, right through to Wanapitei... I already knew of this watershed, but it's good to refernece it again.
So... chlorite waters = chlorite stained ores.
Breccia = faulting fractures.
Grey white outcrops, intruded - later date and created an overlay, icing.
Lowlands filled with breccia, and other foreign ores...
As one drills through the - grey white outcrops - they most likely pass right through, and into
the chlorite breccia and other geology. Making it difficult to pinpoint whats really going on.
Divsioning the ( explore ) into 2 ideologies would most likely help.
1 - free gold from watersheds outside of, outcrops - or - if drilling into and thorugh...
will most likely encounter them.
2 - focus on the valleys, less metage used and target the deeper lenses - bypassing or
avoiding the - white grey outcrops. After all... most success has bene seen in the breccias, irons or, chlorites. Move forward... and focus on a diff geology.
LIKE THIS STUFF - BUT IN... MASS -
looking for the - pyrrhotites, pyrites, mica, irons.
The coloration in this rock is superb.
Matrix - has lots going on.
Could be cobalt, nickel sulphide, copper... platinum groups.
Hoping for gold in the mix too. 
BACKTRACKING -
Retest the past cores for nickel hidden in , Pyrrotite, Pyrites, Micas, etc....
Labelling a core ( pyrite ) in Sudbury district when most of the good stuff like copper or nickel hides with in - via - tetrabonds - chlorite bonds - should be a - must do - on the list.
BUYING A BETTER METAL DETECTOR - A MUST -
Lots of minerals could be overlooked - many of the models have bene noted to miss difficult minerals that are in diff types of conversions or bonds, whereas, a 60% magnesium or aluminum or other with a 40% nickel - detector only recognizing the greater 60% mineral while dismissing the 40% targeted mineral.
CHLORITE/ SULPHIDE - GREEN - BLUE
Green chlorites can have many bonds with other minerals.
BUT... when i see distinct blues... it's then my brows raise.
Questioning - what sort of minerals could be causing the blue colorations.
Many overlook this and label it, iron - but .... with the reports i've read over the years...
Many times its not iron.. it, cobalt, copper, nickel....etc...
MADE ANOTHER MAP - Will it asisst ? Who knows... lol
Just my own interpretation of how i view the project -
Kee pin mind - i have strong views on watershed foreign ores..
Some may disagree. ( that's ok )

- dotted lines - former northern watershed path
- pit locations
- glade + arcade
- 20 046 approx location
- Ashigami lake ( arm ) with dotted lines showing extent of overflow - far greater -
- watershed is based on reviewing terrain mode maps removing vegatation -
Would be nice to see what Alwyn gold looks like...
If it had any influence on the Scadds gold.
Is it chunky VG ?
Is it in the pyrites, pyrrhotites ?
is it in the grey white outcrops - former historical veing 9 600 ft long ) ?
Or... is this top secret keeping prying eyes away - inventus ? wink.
WISH LIST ? Junior reconsiders the roll.
Initiates mining - aim for - 25,000 oz ( if doable )
saves on share dilution
allows for considerable drilling - many years worth -
pull the gold out of, north pit, scadd, south pit.
focus on, glade, alwyn, dril lthem out...
And... push twords Falconbridge... where the gerology considerablely changes.
Drill deeper holes... beyond surficial lenses. Into the ( hopeful mafics with iron + ( i-t-e-s )
Week away form.... D DAY.
What wil lthe new prez do ?
Will he make the right moves with his new position ?
Cater to shareholders or, other ?
He has ot understand - shareholders endured the acquiring of lots of lands.
And.. lots of exploratory drilling, and much time spent around Scadd.
No resource calculation - it's like a kick in the ( ) if they roll.
Own opinion.
Cheers...
