HAILE GOLD MINE - SOUTH CAROLINAiNTERESTING IT IS...
To read up on a gold mine with the attributes of, Feldspar.
Waht was also interesting ?
The area around the Haile Gold mine was with ( white mica )
White mica is quite rare, but if one reads this short snip on the mine,
it does make one wonder what's lies beneith the ACE claims.
81m of feldspar, with copper showings.
And the advent of white mica, makes for an interesting Carolina comparison as per geology.
Spot copper has shoty up in price
$4.74 per pound.
I wonder if Hawkeyes has access ot the historical cores on Ace ?
Would be nice to reinvestigate the cores and perhaps send a few off for reassaying
copper is noted to be a real bugger to nail exact grades.
some expleres send off their cores twice over for reanalysis to ensure accuracy of the grades.
several forms of assaying is appliedto determine copper grades perhaps due ot copper's
unique attribute of, oxidizing and the fact, oxides can stil lrack up the over all grades.
the one historic dril lhole ( 81m ) Ace tech report
also revealed argilites and sulphide vein.
in my honest opinion,
it would be worth the effort to switch up to - small portable drillling - to test several areas instead of poking around for rock chips.
portable drilling is rather inexpensive and can allow the junior to better understand the geology beneith the overburden far better than, assumptions.
no two ways about it - the overburden is the crux on Ace claims.
one could test topicla soils for the next few years, or, get down anddirty and tap several holes with a portable dril lrig - would do wonders.
After parusing through the quic kwrite up on the Haile mine in Carolina,
i wonder if this massive 81m feldspar is a KEY pathfinder for a nearby lode gold deposit ?
81m is not your everyday find - something really big below grade had to create this
mass anomaly of fedlspar which just so happens to be comprised of, fine quartz.
