ACE CLAIMS - FLOAT INTEL
Analyses from these 53 float boulders have the following statistical minimum 220 ppb maximum 28972 ppb average 3106 ppb variance 31,400,000 St.Dev 5602
Generally, the float train has been measured by kilometre posts along Weldwood's '8400' road. It extends along this road for 8km. between kilometre posts 23 and 31.
The NW wing is 2km long and 500m wide; the SW wing is 2%km long and 500m wide. The central portion of the float train is the main part. It is 3km long and widens to an irregular width between 1 and 1 % km.
Notably, the float train is parallel to, and centrally between Pleasant Valley Thrust Fault and Struik's palinspastically reconstructed thrust fault, as shown in GSC Memoir 421, and on Dwg 961204-9.
Also notably, this central portion of the float train is in the relatively 'uplifted' or 'up-faulted' (as herein interpreted) block of ground lying between the two normal faults shown in Memoir 421, and referred to here as GSC-1 Fault and GSC-2 Fault. 0 Doyle, and Barker Minerals, have discovered several hundred float boulders on the property.
The individual boulders are up to lm in size, and are mostly angular, although a few are sub-rounded. Most of these boulders within the float train envelope are of two main sorts -- quartz with heavy iron-rich sulphide, and massive to semi-massive iron-rich sulphides. The sulphide-rich quartz boulders are milky to semi-transluscent vein-type quartz with variable amounts of sulphides, usually banded or stringered, but sometimes as aggregates.

What stands out ...
Angluar boulders - several hundred were discovered - 1m in length.
I would say, those 1m boulders were not pulled out - too heavy.
Angular = indigenous ot the area, rather than rounded came in from elsewhere.
Later in the PDF -
There;s a petrographic study on the rocks.
What i find interesting is, the gold is in relation to = Bismuth.
The petrographer seems to have a difficulty distinguishing the bismuth.
Yet, notates there;s a high presence of the bismuth inconjunction to the gold anomaly.
Would be nice to - jack - a few of those ( hundreds ) of large boulders and perform
more tests ot see if the gold values and bismuth are consistent with former lab analysis.
Bismuth runs = $24,884 tonne.

Speaks of the - bismuth, copper, cobalt, zinc, chromium, nickel values.
besides the gold = bismuth, cobalt, copper = should be further investigated.
Hot commodities.
Notes on Geochemical Anal~ The high Au, Ag, and Bi geochemical values in Samples 3 and 4 correlate with the presence of Bi-bearing minerals (and possibly gold and silver-bearing minerals). As mentioned above, S.E.M. analysis would be useful to identify these phases more accurately and to check if any of the phases contain Au andlor Ag. The cost of this analysis would be about $100-150 per sample, but because of their similarities, only one sample would need to be studied. The abundances of Zn, Pb, and Cu generally correlate with \he abundances of sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite, respectively. Cd values correlate well with those of Zn as is normal, 1 0 because Cd is camouflaged geochemical!y by Zn.
The moderately high values in Co correlate with the pyrite content of the samples; Co commonly substitutes for Fe in the pyrite structure. Ni would most probably be concentrated in pyrrhotite, but its values are mainly very low. The relatively high contents of chromium in many of the samples may in part be because ! ! chromium is concentrated moderately in pyrrhotite. No Cr-bearing minerals were identified in the veins. Some of the high values of Cr are in samples containing moderately abundant garnet; it is probable that in these samples, much of the Cr occurs in garnet
Those angular rocks have me thinking twice - goodness - several hundred 1m sized rocks
is certainly spectacular - yes... hammer jacking a few to look inside with an XRF
would reveal the data needed to know whats going on with these rocks.
i wonder if there;s angluar rocks atop the range that match the float rocks below
if so, high chances they;re indigenous to the barker mountain Ace claims.
Thought i;d share a few thoughts...
