What do i find so bewildering about this map ?
- historically it was known as a hot spot - gold, cobalt, nickel, copper.
- trenched ( with reported grades )
- biggie ? (
they didn't drill it. why not ? )
2021 Jovan video - Explaining the Jovan low resistivities ( minerals which hold a charge )
PAUSE the video @ 9 min 23 sec What do you see ?
I see a massive charge structure
But where are the 2 drill locations ?
Yup... well outside the massive charge structure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF1qzguAgC4 Based on map above - Brady was the spot to drill - but appears it wasn't.
Based on historicals - it was indeed quite promising.
Based on video - drills were well outside the massive charge anomaly.
Here's the press release - I will say... i'm not a big fan of seeing - simple assaying -
whereas, only a few metals were tested.
Or... no significant results.
I like seeing a wel ldetailed assay report and photos ( not in video ) in which allows one
to zoom in and see what's going on with the geology.
I singled out - drill holes - JV 21 084 - 088
asked the question - what provoked them to drill upto 400m deep ?
JV-21-084 - 314m
JV-21-085 - 370m
JV-21-086 - 310m
JV-21-087 - 385m
JV-21-088 - 400m
Not your typical BMK depths. Typically... Most all drills ( elsewhere ) run under 200m.
These drill holes above - were well beyond the usual depths.
In the vidoe above - one can see some of the drill cores from - JOVAN.
Interesting geology.
Again... could there be a nickel hiding in the - i-t-e-s - or, other species of nickel that may have formed a bond with - magnesium or aluminum silicates ?
Some XRF metal detectors - can't pick up on, magnesium.
In my opinion... wouldn't hurt to pull a few good looking Jovan cores forward - perform a reassay - looking for - nickel - bonded to aluma silicates, magnesium, or - i-t-e-s.
Even a cobalt or PGE - with unusual bonds.
Many of these - key minerals - can transition to salts. If a chloric conversion took place - they would indeed be difficult to detect.
1 - chlorite / serpentine - morphing
2 - multiple bonds - hidden with in -
( eg ) magnesium ( or ) aluminum 60% and nickel 20% - only - mg or al - was detected.
3 - hidden in - i-t-e-s. - whereas, the iron is dominant and nickel goes undetected.
Like i mentioned in a previous post -
Other juniors are finding - nickel - running with - magnesium.
Even in carbonates.
Which this SPJ district does have.
Can't help but think of....
Red Mine just north of, Scadding.
This former mine has significant - dolomites.
Calcium and Magnesium.
And... the what nickel was running in these aluma silicates ?
Shame about the Brady...
I thought they would've tapped a few holes - historical reports point to - hot spot.
400m holes... interesting.
And... missing the large charge anomaly - drilling outside if it.
Cheers....
