BAY MAG

Was researching Baymag -
Can't find any current mg reserve data - all data thus far that i've come across is old intel.
The only current date i could find is their - 5 drill holes - Aris Report.

BAYMAG
The 5 holes drilled have high calcium content - making it less desirable Mgo.
Pages - 40-ish onward.

https://aris.empr.gov.bc.ca/ArisReports/37842.PDF

What piques my interest is...
BayMag's deposit is in same vicinity as, Driftwood.
One would think the deposits would have similar grades.

Could it be... different testing methods ?
Onwe method includes the LOI while another lab separates the LOI from the MgO ?

BayMag reports - Mgo in the 97% range - no LOI mentioned.
When analyzing their drill data - all other minerals along with the Mg add up to the 100% content of
ore characterisits...

While MGX's shows a 43% Mgo with a few tag alongs of, Alum, Cal, Iron, Silica.
Low in each seondary mineral making it idea for a minable deposit.

So... how does MGX's report differ from BayMag ?
MGX shows the - LOI.
LOI = life of ignition - of the MgO.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've yet to see this - LOI - value in any of the BayMag's reports.
I may have missed it.. but, it is odd.

What did i just come across today ?

Study on regulators of purifying magnesite ore by cationic reverse flotation

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8379186/

More importantly....
This study has a special table ( chart ) that breaks down the ore contents = arriving at grade.
If one compares the first two columbs ...It has similar grades to that of Driftwood.
Refer to chart at end of this post -

Magnesite Ore
Magnesite

So.. how does a 47% grade increase to 92% + 98% ?
LOI - is added in.
Like the chart suggests... ( L+I ) = O
Life + Ignition = Oxygen.

So.,. could it be....
Adding in the LOI - arrives at a total - MgO ?
If one 9 again ) refers to MGX's report above - many of the ( MgO + LOI ) values if combined would flirt with the 90-ish % MgO

Is BayMag including their - LOI - in their overall Magnesium deposit percentage values ?
Should MGX combine their - LOI - with thier Mgo deposit percentages ?

I'm no magnesium pro...
But... maybe another could chime in.

Chemical composition of magnesite ore, and single mineral magnesite, dolomite, and quartz (wt%).
