WHAT DOES MOLYBDENUM LOOK LIKE ?Molybdenum comes in all kinds of colors. Ferro silvery white
Black oxide
Green oxide
Yellow oxide
Silvery metallic - ( most popular ) https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/collection-specimens-molybdenite-ore-isolated-260nw-483455479.jpg Yellow Trioxide - ( most popular ) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Molybdite-Molybdenite-233200.jpg Here's the Tillicum Mine Video
I've skipped through the video real quick....
notating the best timeframes for - yellow ores.
tried to bypass the - irons - and focused solely on
yellow oxides that were indifferent than... iron.
I focused on two colorations -
- silvery metallics
- yellow bloom oxides coming out of silvery ores
VIDEO - PART - 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgV4KXr7UyE - 6 min - 6:03 min ( pause rach sec frame )
- 8:12 min
- 9:59 min
- 10:51 min ( really good )
- 11:36 min ( really good )
- 13:56 min
- 14:41 min
- 15:54 min ( presoure wash would real it )
- 16:10 min ( presure wash would reveal it )
- 18:02 min ( lighter greys )
- 20:49 min
- 21:14 min ( really good )
- 21:32 min
- 21:53 min
- 22:27 min
- 22:48 min
Again.... only focusing on the - yellow bllom -
is it Molybdenum ?
Second Video - Part - 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nBohi_7_60 Yes.. this video - shows the - pinks and purples...
Try not to focus on those colors...
keep to - yellow and silvery = Moly...?
- 8:45 mine opening - left side ( yellows )
- 11:01 min
- 11:22 min
- 14:19 min
- 19:59 min
- 20:27 min
- 23:50 ( moreso irons - but some other yellows )
What do gold miners do ?
They only have one thing on thier mind.
Loook for gold...
Look for quartz veins.
All else is a blur.
And it's exactly what i did... when i searched out ....
Cobalt... i dismissed the gold - only kept my eyes open
for pinks and purples...
One almost needs 3 geologists....
one will stray... to their preference...lol
one for - only gold
- one for - only moly
- one for - only cobalt
i would say.... far better success, better results,
than sending in one geo.
Personally... i would've dismissed this yellowish
coloration - and passed it off as... irons, sulphides.
AND... i'd make that bet and say... other geo's did the same.
IRON....
iron in a damp enviro - will turn - brown oxid.e
Sometimes green... if chlorite is present.
But.. .that's another subject. ( debatable )
Yellow bloom - would be a superb PATHFINDER
for the moly... if it is , moly.
One would have to use a good XRF
dial it in for only moly - and test all...
- silvery metallics
- dull metallics
- lighter greys
- dark greys
- black ocides
- whites oxide carbonates
-
yellows - trioxide bloom - coming out of the grey ores...
Cheers....
