ACE - ARIS REPORT
PAGE - 145
Elevated iron values 15% appear to be related to - gold, silver, copper.
PAGE 189 -
Chalcopyrite increases in grade - Skarn Rocks.
Skarn is a very broad term for a rock... just search skarn images and you'll see what i mean.
Skarn should be more acutely defined as a rock.. .but, it's not.
PAGE 191 -
Mystery Minerals x + y appear.
Petrograpger can't seem to identify two mineral - one golden soft - other greyish.
What i don't like about the petrographic study is, it appears quite basic, repetative, and well,
i would've loved to seen backup lab assays with each of the petrographer's analysis
for comparison sake.
PAGES - 199 -205
What rerally " ticks " me ?
Seeing the actual rock pictures with exceptional values of - bright blue - colors and
no mention fro mthe petrographer of what the blue mineral is...?
I cna't help but think.... AZURITE. ( copper )
Below is a link to an - Azurite - rock sample ( elsewhere ) for comparison.
Now, there are other blue / violet minerals but... the Ace rocks just look like a true blue Azurite.
The tech report does merntion -bornite -
BORNITE - is a form of BLUE copper, but... where is bornite in the petrographic analysis ?
I don't recall reading anything pertaining to bornite in the petrography, as in, host mineral in specimen rocks. I did read -chalcopyrite - but... what would explain away all this blue coloration in so many rocks ?
Lastly, former operator of Ace claims, were way too fixated on the float boulder.s
Now... i did some scanning this eve on google maps,
Western and South Western side of Mount Barker has some incredible outcrop rock exposures- like really nice... Thing is... no access roads.
Quartz showings, exposed sediment banding, iron and red oxides oozing out.
Azurite - Malachite in Quartz Monzanite ( example )

That's all i've go - for now. .
Eyes are cooked from reading so much.
Hawkeye should move up the Barker mountain range, up and out of the valley.
There are some fissures and seams coming down a few arms of Barker facing Little River
that dohave outcrop exposures - i'drather samples fro mactual outcrops from these zone than... diluted sediment samples in the valley.
Cheers....

A couple Geological terms to add to the list Wango comically has no clue about based on his own gibberish ... Skarn, petrography Thanks for another laugh.
