RE:String or cluster of pearls.This is exactly like the stuff I have been reading.
Previously, I thought that all nickel deposits were of magmatic origin, I now realize that the magma can come out of the ground as lava and still result in nickel deposits. But apparently only at the base of the lava flow.
This distinction is revealed in the "Intrusive Contact" - Type 2 - H1 zone at Grasset, versus the "Volcanic contact" - Type 1 - komatiite hosted - Kambalda - GUC situation.
What is new to me in your post is that structure (channels) are an aid to ore delineation. So manybe BAR can pull this off on their own after all, without a partner.

The original formation of the river-like channels, and the pools of sulphides that developed along them, create another characteristic that is important in their exploration. That is, that nickel sulphide ore bodies tend to be elongated and ribbon-like, and present continuously or intermittently along well-defined 'channel structures' incised in the basal contact. Thus once a sulphide ore body is discovered, and the hosting 'channel structure' defined, then that channel structure can be pursued through exploration, and even where the sulphide ore body ends, further exploration along the channel is likely to discover further 'pools' of sulphides (ore bodies).
