First photo - Rovers core with ???? What do the words written on the box say ? Pyrite. One can write pyrite and mean any type of pyrite.
I wonder what Rover's Geo would call this - pyrite ?
But wait... we're searching for - gold.
Second photo - online search - this is what
arsenopyrite looks like.
Nico's claims have cobalt in the arsenpyrties.
Found in veins ( feldspars + quartz ) and ( sulphides - black ores )
Analyze Rover's core below .
Expand it.... really look it over.
I'm seeing quartz.. but i'm also seeing the grey metal ( pyrite )
Could this be arsenopyrite ?
Check the end of the broken core - too.
Appears chlorides merged in - deep dark greens ?
If so... then.. how does the bright blue, purple form - what's causing it ?
Link - incase photo does not display - https://assets0.fossilera.com/sp/514917/arsenopyrite/arsenopyrite.jpg What colour is cobalt sulphide?
In general, the sulfides of cobalt are black, semiconducting, insoluble in water, and nonstoichiometric
Has Rover mentioned - chloride (ite ) - in cores ? YES.
What will happen to the color of the cobalt solution
when concentrated HCl is added? If the chloride or cobalt concentrations increase, the equilibrium will also shift towards the
blue anhydrous cobalt chloride. For example, when hydrochloric acid is added, the added chloride ions shift the equilibrium position in favour of blue [CoCl4]2- ions and water. Earlier today... I researched several types of - iron ore. Hematite
Magnetite
Illmenite
Seeing if there is such a thing as, purple hues emanating out of iron ores.
The wording online did show - puple oxidation from iron ores.
But when i opened the link - there was no purple at all.
lol
Other searches ? Pointed towards vendors online selling iron ore rock specimens.
Guess what was oozing out of the iron ore rock ?
Most likely cobalt bloom.
Cobalt oxidation growing - puple cauliflower bloom.
Iron when oxidizing will show brown / black rust oxidation, not blues and purples.
I'd say the vendors selling iron ore rock specmens with purple bloom - don't jnow what they have.
Fortune minerals - Lab - ?
i came across a photo of Fortune minerals with a makeshift - lab.
Testing and Leaching thier minerals .
Maybe this NITRIC + CHLORIC acid could the the perfect test for our ores.
Good enough for Fortune - Good enough for Rove.r
Wink.
Former post - i found the cobalt grades on Cab #1 Cab #2 - quite intruging.
5-6 % cobalt grades.
Fastforward..... Fortune is ringing in at - .11 % grade.
Now what ever you do...
don't try to cruch the the Fortune resource numbers - tonnage X cobalt 0.11 %
you'll come up with... .8 billion.
not... 88 million...wink.
They should really fix those figures,
it should read as - 0.0011 % to arrive at thier - 88 million pounds of cobalt.
But then again... what if they do have... .11 % - lol
CAB #1 #2 - Interesting names for their historical - Nico claims.
There.... done posting.
Figure it out.
Cheers....
