SCADDING WITH NEW EYES
Most all the gold is near surface.
Shallow gold - makes easy pickings for a miner not to mention the economics to mine are alot cheaper providing all the more profits for the junior.
The gold has a realtion to the iron ores...
Lots of pxidized iron is seen in the gold ores.
But.. there's a chlorite factor that runs synomanous to the riddle of where the gold is.
It's been said,
gold in this region is found in small pits - twister " " spiral " formation pits.
To the west - i see a potential alkai intrusion that may have perhaps,
disseminated the scadding iron formation and through caustic salts - imparted the gold.
To the east,
there is another distinct alkai geology that carries a " signature trait " in which identifies
an entirely different mineralology. ( copper, cobalt, nickel - carbonates )
If we draw a line from scadding - north and south and call this the iron frindge,
and then...envision a salt water chlorite intrusion hitting the iron formation...
What might be the result ?
PLAUSABLE ANSWER ?
The caustic salt water from - Wanapitei Lake - intruded the scadding area...
seen in the first link below - with a pattern thast seems to emminate from, Wanapitei.
The clues that give chase to the idea of, causticsalt waters...
Revolves around the identification of, " there is " carbonates present in this region.
If carbonatres exist - and als osalt water from say.. .a much larger great lakes that intruded all the way up to the scadding region - then....
it's understandable how the carebonates are foundin this region so close to surface - amongst an iron formation. Each are total opposites in gerology. ( Sulphides meet Alkais )
Gold in the Scad zone is seen with in the matrixes of,
silca, quartz, iron oxides, with a strong proponent of - chlorite.
Which brings up the subject...
Can all veining occur only with hydrothermal ?
Or... does this old " mind set " not fit the mold whe nit comes ot near surface ore bodies that have a surficial blanket atop of an iron ore body.
My own ansewr is... a surfical ore body atop an iron basement - was affected by a topical
intrusion of other ores brought in, and with an alaki solvent - salt water - in which erroded the gold from the iron... which then asks... can a veining also occur without hydrothermal involvement...
I would challenge the - books - and say yes... all because your silicas - once dissolvedor in solution - and later solidifies- they do one thing good, like really good... they've an inherent ability ot form crystals. QWhich points to... trapped alkai forming crystal vieining all on its owen.
If had to tackel this project - i'd review the surveys and look for distinct north / south iron frindges
below grade - eddy's where the caustic salt water " swirrled " working over the iron gold
bearing ore.
Then, hone in one these small ( sub surface ) tornado zones - like the scadding deposit -
looking for similar - eddy's - or... shelfs where the causticweaters - repeatedly hit the iron formation to chew it apart.
In my opinion.,.. its east meets west... seen in some of the jovan survey's.
And, west meets east, seen in the scad survey.
To decipher what each survey means - being that my theory has opposing directions - east and west intrusions...
It might be easier to understand in this explanation...
Westerly salt warers from - Wanapatei - invaded the scadding.
Easterly, salt wash carbonates - invaded - Jovan.
The solve all ?
- Look for lighter alkai colors on the survey.
- Lighter colors that affected the red/pink - iron resistivities.
- blue meets red = convergence zones - alkai diseminating the iron - gold drops out.
- If a pattern shows... in vortex fashion, or, lighter carbonate survey colors affected the red
zones - chances are... the alkai's erroded the iorns = GOLD.
