PILOT PLANT ( interesting )
PAGE - 35 - TECH REPORT - 2014 -
As mentioned previously, drill core was split and sampled in 2008 but the samples were not submitted for chemical analyses. This was presumably due to a lack of money to pay for the analyses. These samples were subsequently stored by the property vendors until such time as they could be submitted for assay. In 2012 Torch River Resources agreed to pay for analyzing the samples as part of their due diligence in evaluating the property. Although Torch River decided not to option the property, the data from this analytical work, which was done at Agat Laboratories in Richmond B.C. was provided to the writer. It should be noted that the writer was a director of Torch River at the time of this transaction.

( would be interesting to know what sort of minerals they assayed for )
PAGE - 37 - TECH REPORT - 2014 -
Rodgers (1990) reports that at the lab the samples were crushed and pulverized to -80 mesh, then a representative split was taken and this was pulverized to -150 mesh. The +150 sample material was saved. Samples were digested using a perchloric-nitric-hydrofluoric acid mixture. The samples were analyzed for SiO2, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, TiO2, P2O5, MnO, BaO

- No assaying for - zinc -

In 1990, Canoxy drilled four NQ diamond holes totalling 219.8 m. This drilling also targeted the Eastern Magnesite deposit. Drill core was split on site, and samples taken at 1.5 m intervals. Only sections through the magnesite were sampled
WANGO -
- only select section of - magnesite -
In 2016, MGX drilled and blasted a bulk sample site at the East Zone and hauled approximately 100 tonnes of material to a laydown area for stockpiling, sorting, then hauled via highway truck to a crusher in Invermere, BC.
The pilot plant is a 50 t/d flotation plant previously used for concentrating lead-zinc-bearing material
Once the plant is set up, the crushed bulk material will be processed to remove silica and calcium impurities and then re-assayed.

Pilot plant was formerly used to concentrate - lead, zinc -
lol,lol,lol,lol
REMOVE - calcium - uhhhhh.... and in the region - dolos - contain zincs -
dolos are calcium. And, remove impurities.
Was it - zinc ? lol
Then... once impurities removed - sent for lab assaying.
lol
Anyways....
read the two reports for yourself....I see lots of -
- just focus on magnesite -
- select cut outs of just magnesite
- incomplete assaying - OR - another has the 2012 assays ( writer ) but what were the results ?
was it assaying that tested for zincs ?
- numerous colors of the dolos - purple, pink, orange, browns, etc....
- removal of - vital ores - like the dolo calciums and impurites -
- pilot plant purchase - plant formerly used to - separate - lead, zinc. ( lol )
