INTERESTING - The locally brecciated, albitized and chloritized metasedimentary rocks that host the
Scadding gold deposit have elevated Co, Cu, Ni, Fe, As and REE concentrations, and locally contain a wide variety of REE-rich minerals. Gold occurs as inclusions in pyrite, chalcopyrite and in chlorite. LINK - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240821374_The_Scadding_gold_mine_east_of_the_Sudbury_igneous_complex_Ontario_An_

So... i now wonder al lthe more about - Bristol's Outcrop - that is aside of, Scadd mine and leads right to, North Pit - this outcrop - bristol - shamfers down in size - fanning into North Pit.
As i've outlined in former posts - Serpentine rocks - can contain - Nickel.
New fresh off the press identifications - of new mineral species of Nickel - in Serpentine rock.
( hues of green and yellow signalling - Nickel ore )
Cobalt - Arsenopyrite
Nickel - Pyrrhotite
Copper - Chalcopyrite
Also... there are severa lspecies of - CHLORITE ROCK -
Not all chlorite rock is what it appears.
There's more to chlorite than meets the eye - most know how copper and gold can convert to a chloritic phase - but what about - nickel ?
NIMITE - NICKEL BEARING CHLORITE
Formula: (Ni,Mg,Al)6((Si,Al)4O10)(OH)8
Crystal System: Monoclinic
GEOLOGY ONTARIO - Mineralization Comments
Feb 28, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - Mineralization on the
Scadding mine site seems for the most part, to be confined to the chloritic matrix in the unit logged as chlorite breccia where the breccias likely acted as both mechanical and chemical traps for the hydrothermal fluids.
Gold with pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, magnetite, galena, minor silver, and very low palladium are most abundant in Zone A of the Serpent Formation LINK - https://www.geologyontario.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndmfiles/MDI/data/records/MDI41I10NE00012.html
How much land does - Inventus control - above SPJ + River Valley ? Inventus controls
420 square kilometres of exploration ground in the Sudbury area, including its Sudbury 2.0 Project, 45 kilometres to the east of the city, which contains a predominant gold system with copper, cobalt and nickel.
How much land does Mc Donald mines control ? Our 197 sq.km. land package covers three townships This SPJ claims map seems like it's far larger than, 197 sq km.
My goodness, it stretches to 30+ km.
And north to south has some thick widths.
If i use the - km scale - fill in the hole gaps - square the claims up - so it's soild.
I would say it's more than 197 sq km.
Just an observation.

I remember researching few years ago - that there's a
URANIUM anomlay just west of Scad Mine.
Could this be Bristol or just on other side of Bristol outcrop ?
Ahhhhh....
Uranium can also show it'self as -
GREEN. OCT 04 2019 - Mc Donald's increase in lands - Press Release -
The claims fill two strategic gaps in a
regional uranium anomaly associated with the Scadding Deposit. In addition, near the western boundary of the southern block of claims, MacDonald’s surface mapping program identified, at surface, zones of IOCG alteration

Few tid bits to chew on...
Personal opinion ?
Silly to roll a small junior like this.
Uranium anomaly west side of, Scad.
Lots of other minerals mentioned in 3rd party reports - copper, palladium, nickel, cobalt
Our assays never checked fore these minerals at - Scadd.
Between SPJ + INVENTUS" Sudbury 2.0
These lands are greater in size than all of Sudbury.
Span all the way pu to Temagami.
Rolling small juniors and wiping out small investors - is not the right path.
More like - Larger players in Sudbury - ante up and drop some cash on expansion lands.
The name of the game i see in juniors going on now ?
Great land packages, great resources - all bottomed out.
Easy pickings for Majors.
Nothing much left for investors.
I would rather see - juniors go private and take their shareholders with them...
Than.. .watch the games unfold in the markets.
Or... Majors take out juniors with - permitted lands - or - district scale lands -
And... explore these lands themselves than see, small investors lose monies when juniors
cater to larger players with rolls.
If Mc Donald drilled to create ( inferred resources ) it would help.
Scadd + Norh Pit - are the only zones that could pump out somthing in oz's.
Bit not all minerals were checked. Not even the uranium showing aside of Scadd.
For all we know - Scadd could have uranium, like the one report above states.
Glade South Pitt, Scadd + North Pit should've seen more effort to unify.
Jovan and more land acqusitions took presedence.
What sort of ounces would we have if BMK tallied North Pit + Scadd + South Pit and Glade ?
Along with all minerals assayed - lol
What's a permit worth these days considering what other juniors are going thorugh with delays ?
What's mega lands worth - all assembled ?
Cheers....
