SUDBURY NICKEL / COPPER PGE - BEARING OREWhat are the principal ores ? The main ores are composed of
pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrite and magnetite. Bornite is locally present in higher grade zones, while higher arsenic as arsenides characterises the South Range. The copper rich veins deep in the footwall are dominated by chalcopyrite and cubanite with lesser pentlandite, magnetite and pyrrhotite.
The Sudbury Complex contained around 1650 Mt @ 1.2% Ni, 1.03% Cu.

What has Mc D focused on - majority ? Carbonates outcrops and Veins -
The kindof ores that wil lharbor gold - but if one is to cater to the big Sudbury mines, one must match the hatch.
Ya.... gotta get into the - irons, sulphides, micas, all sorts of pyrites.
Otherwise the carbs and veins will only show a glimmer what they sponged from the side wall fractures and fissures bring up very small amounts of what's on wither side in host rock.
Here's the powerline photo i was talking about - McD Iis in the quartz varb vein - while if one scans the back drop bush, slightly off center left of center... One will see the irons show themselves.
I'm sure there's all sorts of iron showings on thier claims...
Question becomes - will they shift to iron + various pyrites ?
And... now that so much time has been spent on, carbs and veins...
And the size of lands that have been accumilated - not quite fair to investors - to role.
