COPPER -Copper comes in all sorts of - colors.
Reds, Blues, Greens, and in pyrite form.
In the Scadd area - copper comes in Chalcopyrite.
Do we have copper at the Scadd ?
YES.
Was it identified in the cores ?
Yes... even written on the cores - CUP - CPY ( refer to older core photos of - Scadd ) online.
Here's a photo for starters - https://insidexploration.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_8844-scaled.jpg
Was it ever talked about when hunting for - high grade gold ?
Not really.
What was also not really talked about ? ( excerpt ) GROUNDSTAR PROPERTY IN DAVIS TOWNSHIP WAS
10,600 OZ GOLD AND 990,000 LBS OF COPPER FROM 63,000 TONS. THE
SCADDING GOLD MINE IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE UNDERSIGNED'S OPAP Where's OPAP - about 4km n/w OD Scadd Mine.
Right under one of the - Wanapitei Bay's,
Which which create a s/w - sweeping trend going into Scadd Mine claims.
LINK - ( pages - 6 + 11 ) map page - 6 - look for - OPAP claims - https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geologyontario.mndm.gov.on.ca%2Fmndmfiles%2Fafri%2Fdata%2Fimaging%2F41I10NE0129%2F41I10NE0129.pdf&psig=AOvVaw0DrjKOWnHJ_BWu4o6hsvLE&ust=1664647598306000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CBMQtaYDahcKEwiY9pfljb36AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQBg What should BMK do ?
Well.. to begin.... Scadd Mine geology has seen a massive Chloric intrusion.
Alkai waters can have an effect on copper ores.
Most often... copper will dissolve and go into - solution.
Copper in soluble form will display - blue, green.
Scadd cores are - poluted with deep grene, and light green, and blues.
Former Prez never really touched on this topic - too focused on - VG -
Which they seemed to struggle with in a few holes - reassaying -
What was one of the areas they veered from ?
West of Bristol Structure.
Drill were allergic ot this area ( tease )
Only one that i know of bore into this - and only a lowerr portion penetrated.
SM - 19 004
https://miningir.com/wp-content/uploads/bmk-pr-hole12-200122-v1.png THis particular western side of Scad, is labelled different geology...
Supposed massive breccia ( i beleive ? )
Now... though gold is found in veining - it's also apparent in the - beccia.
east meets west...
Bonanza fault ( massive quartz dyke 1800m ) showing west of Scadd Mine.
Copper 4 km n/w of Scadd at the OPAP
Copper at the Alwyn
And.. .an influx of -- chloric water's intrude - changing the gerology to - blue, green.
With... Scadd drill cores - labelled - CUP - CYP -
What was not checked ?
Chlor auric gold - gold going into chloric solution
Copper - going into solution - bue + green.
All focus was placed on - GOLD.
Only of recent... has other mineral interest bene revealed.
Question becomes....
Does the Scad Mine have copper ? Yes.
But... was only the chalcopyrite recognized ?
And... would / could Scadd have significant copper conversion - chloric - blue + green ?
If it does.. .it would be undetectable by the human eye.
What happens when copper reacts with chloride?
The copper reacts vigorously with the chlorine to form a cloud of copper(II)chloride. When the flask is rinsed with water the copper(II) chloride dissolves forming a blue-green solution. Cheers....
