Wonder if this linear line trend is a transition zone is also a contact zone - conglomerates meet gabbro - with quasi network of veining with intrusion of chlorites and carbonates ?
The historical Alkin gold mine is located 2.3 km W-NW of the Glade showings. At the Alkin mine, gold mineralization occurs as a network of quartz veins hosted in the felsic phase of the Nipissing Diabase intrusion that also hosts the Glade showings. Reconnaissance work by the Ontario Geological Survey reported gold assays up to 38.8 g/t gold in grab samples taken from the veins exposed at the Alkin Mine (OFR 5771). High-grade gold in quartz veins was reported historically. Many old trenches, now overgrown with vegetation, are the only evidence of the 1930s and 1940s exploration work done at Glade with gold mineralization still exposed at the Glade East and Glade West showings. The Alkin-Glade trend is located at the contact between a Nipissing intrusion and sedimentary rocks. The structure hosts two significant zones of mineralization - the historic Alkin Mine and the Glade showings. In the Glade area, Ontario Geological Survey maps and historical exploration identified a broad zone of disruption, alteration, deformation and mineralization that extend over a strike length of 300 m. GLADE / east to west showing
= 300/m
GLADE to ALKIN MINE
= 2.3 km
I'm wondering if just stiking on this transition zone (2.3/km line ) and drilling 50m on either side creating a 100m surface width and if BMK could ever pull off a - 1000m strike abouyt 1/2 of the current trend - with a good - 10m averaging intercept =- 5.5/g tonne = they'd be firting with 500k ounces all near surface - of course - hypothetical...
B
ut... as it is... they already seen a 22m intercept with over 5/g tonne.
Time for... duplication efforts.
Can't wait to see what - 095 - drill hole reveals - such would tie in - Scadding. It's then, what should they do ?
Stick with Galde + Alkin trend or - run up the drilloing to Scadding ?
I would say... sincethey have near surface gold showing 300m south of current Glade drills...
stick to the Glade trend = keep expanding.
Current Press - Intel MacDonald Mines’ diamond drilling under the Glade West Showing in holes AG-21-096 and AG-21-097 revealed a large alteration and mineralization system where shear-hosted quartz veins are surrounded by networks of gold mineralized, multidirectional and variably spaced quartz tension veins concentrated in the Nipissing intrusion at its northern contact with the Bruce conglomerate.
Diamond drilling also identified that mineralization extends in the Espanola limestone along the southern contact of the Nipissing diabase hosting the networks of gold-bearing shear zones and quartz veins. Visible gold was observed in many quartz veins in both holes AG-21-096 and AG-21-097 and in the channel samples taken at Glade East. Surface work at the Glade East showing confirmed comparable mineralization 225 m east of the Glade West discovery. In some quartz veins, visible gold is associated with iron-rich chlorite alteration emplaced and crosscutting the quartz veins. This association between gold and iron-rich chlorite observed at the Glade West Showing is similar to the association between iron-chlorite and gold at the Scadding Deposit. The potential relationship between the mineralization observed at Glade and the Scadding Deposit, located 800 m north, could represent a considerable extension to that mineralized system.
