RE: RE: RE: From the Frazer Mac Report TDSB - While not a geo-linguist, i believe by "Portage styel"he means the gold-bearing black stuff* that characterizes the gold-bearing mineralization in the Portage zone, and by "width tenor" I believe he means about the same width. My pathetic attempt at translation: If we poke some more holes there and confirm that the black stuff extends this far southeast, and at the same width as the ore body disovered thus far, then we've go a whole sh-tload more gold than our previous estimate...holy cow, this mother is huge..
*The extensive gold mineralization system at the Springpole Project may be unique among Canadian Archean gold deposits in that it is hosted within and along the margins of a sheared, high-level potassic stock. At Springpole, gold occurs as disseminations and high grade veins within the trachyte porphyry stock, itself within or adjacent to explosive diatreme breccias pipes, and as veins and replacements along the margins of the intrusive in intermediate and mafic volcanics and tuffs. Mineralization displays many characteristics which suggest it was deposited in the epithermal environment. The close spatial relationship to the potassic intrusive suggests a genetic relationship as well. In almost all areas, mineralization is accompanied by strong to intense potassic (K feldspar and sericite) and carbonate alteration. These and other characteristics place the Springpole mineralization in the potassic gold deposit classification; a deposit type which includes such world-class deposits as Cripple Creek, Porgera, Lihir, and Emperor.
Don't quote me on my translation and do your own DD.
