So.. .what else did they find with the extension holes in the Monza zone between the Serpent zone and Espanola lenses. Espanola = limestone carbonates...
Don't cry when you read they tapped - 6- holes and found....?
Like i sad so many times... drill deeper.
So... what was found in these -
6 - other holes ? Holes SM-20-050 to SM-20-055 were testing the Monza fold structure, at the contact between the Serpent and Espanola formation, in the extensions of the zone discovered in
SM-20-046 and modelled with IP.
The holes
successfully intersected strong
magnetite alteration, chlorite alteration and extensive zones of pyrite with accessory chalcopyrite mineralization that are characteristic of the Scadding Deposit. However, results from samples received do not contain significant gold mineralization. While this indicates that IP is successfully tracing the alteration system that can host significant zones of gold mineralization, MacDonald is refining the systematic relationship between the induced polarization and resistivity measurements to better identify where gold mineralization may be present.

There you have it - - magnetite
- chlorite
-
extensive zones of pyrite and accessory chalcopyrite - copper.
Problem ? As usual... only tested for gold.
Hence... all of the - ites - should've been tested thoroughly.
Being so close to Sudbury, and reknowned for - nickel...
Ahhh... i'll refrain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether - - Pyrite, Pyrrohtite, Pentlandite, Vermiculites, Arsenopyrite, and so many other - ites - nickel, coppe,r cobalt, and PGE's will run along side or even in... these kinds of - ites.

Here's that infamous photo - 1 - i can't seem ot track down the results for - 20 - 061 - 20 - 065
you can see the clear plastic bags hanging on the wall.
If one opens the press link above - these 2 holes are not spoken of.
2 - look at both core - ends - closest to you in photo -
why point this out again ?
All about the - ites - open face end -cores... lots of grey - ites.
Grey looking pyrites, pentlandites, pyrrhotites....?

Here is a company called - QUEBEC NICKEL CORP -
They have similar sulphide ores as BMK -
What's in thier - pyrrohtites ?
NICKEL.
Figure 1. A photo of drill core from hole QDG-22-04 at ~424 metres depth shows what is interpreted to be primary magmatic sulphides (
blebby pyrrhotite) within a strongly
chloritized ultramafic rock (chlorite schist).

Here's another example of -
QUEBEC NICKEL CORP Sulphide black + blues...
With grey pyrrohtites...that harbor...., nickel, PGE's. cobalt.

Yeah... one more post.. .
What the hell...
Drive the subject home
I'd love ot chat ot the - Geo...
See what he thinks of the green chlorites, sulphides, carbonates, pyrites, pyrohtites, pentlandites,
You know.... ask hm - what attracted him to specific chloritized and sulphide zones at surface -
when... the gold was a known - found in the chloritized breccia lense...lol
Something had to have provoked the Geo to always seke out the - blues and greens at surface.
Was it... on the hunt for - nickel ?
Couldn't be... nah.
lol
Cheers....
