RE: Intrusive ( hint )Altcar,
I appreciate your posts, but I can tell you are not a geologist by any stretch of the imagination, lol!
Although it appears DEC intersected 70m of silicified pyritized intrusive rock below the Montrose Zone in Hole #9, it should be noted that intrusives are everywhere and are usually not mineralized. Even if the intrusive is mineralized with pyrite (which is an iron sulphide) that does not mean it is gold bearing.
If they had reported the intrusive to contain arsenopyrite (iron, arsenic sulphide sometimes gold), chalcopyrite (copper sulphide, sometimes gold), galena (lead sulphide), and sphalerite (zinc sulphide) then that would have been much better. Intrusives are masses of magma that have cooled below the Earth's surface and can be of a basic (basalt) or acidic (granite) nature. They are full of mostly boring minerals that have no economic use.
Could someone please confirm or discount that DEC had found pyritized intrusive float rock similar to what was intersected in hole #9 on the property that actually did assay with gold values? I thought I read that somewhere in one of the news releases?
Looking forward to the news release!
GLTA!!!
