What we have and where we're going A reminder of our assets. Well, we know we don’t appear to have progressive management, but here’s an update of our assets at the Lone Pine Property. The property is so robust it will eventually bypass our poor management and go ahead with new leadership. Management’s negligable support, having seemingly held this property back for a decade, will in the end be ousted unless they do something progressive soon. This reminder on this site—one of the few social media outlets for information any longer about Bard and the Lone Pine Property—will hopefully augment the lack of property information elsewhere.
(1) The Alaskite Zone is located approximately 1 km from the Transcanada highway, which transects the south sector of the property. The highway joins the towns of Houston (rail line 15 km distant) and Smithers, each about a half-hour drive from the property. These towns support several large porphyry mines with supplies and lodging. Houston also has an airport about 5 km from the property, which supports small jet aircraft: Smithers has a large airport that supports larger aircraft. A gasline and hightension power line are located nearby. A large water source is also located on the property.
Alaskite Zone orebody particulars:
163,000,000 tonnes of open pit ore at a grade of 0.69% Molybdenum, 0.034% Copper, 0.6 gms Silver per tonne. With completed PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment). The grade would be slightly greater if the inferred grade category was considered.
Drill examples:
Drill Hole BD-08-25: 730.90 metres @ 0.10% Molybdenum/0.15 grams per tonne Rhenium
Drill Hole BD-08-35: 753.74 metres @ 0.10% Molybdenum/0.14 grams per tonne Rhenium
Note: These are vertical holes! Half a mile straight down!
I believe bulk sample assays of the Alaskite Zone ore will show recoverable values of gold and greater amounts of silver, because this was indicated by some exploration prior to Bard’s. I also believe this deposit could be similar to the Climax molybdenum deposit, which was shaped like an hourglass and the surface deposit was merely the top of another large, conjoinded deposit at depth.
(1) The Quartz Breccia Zone is located 1 km north of the above Alaskite Zone. It is accessed by several good gravel roads and has at least a couple drill sites already prepared for drilling. Around a dozen holes by Bard outlined a block, which in my back-of-envelope-rough-estimation would contain approximately 40,000,000 tonnes already. It appears to be open on all sides and to depth, dipping toward the Alaskite Zone to the southwest. The last exploration performed on the property—a soil analysis survey in 2015 at the westerly area—indicated the top of the large area of mineralization also continues to the north-northwest, the direction of some prepared drill sites!(?) Why the drills were moved elsewhere...hmmm...another peculiarity.
Quartz Breccia Zone particulars:
214.70 metres @ 70.49 grams per tonne silver
132.00 metres @ 28.86 grams per tonne silver
176.00 metres @ 19.05 grams per tonne silver
188.00 metres @ 0.54 grams per tonne gold
86.00 metres @ 0.19 grams per tonne gold
47.80 metres @ 0.50 grams per tonne gold
58.00 metres @ 0.32 grams per tonne gold
Base metals in these same diamond drill holes at the Quartz Breccia Zone:
108.3 metres @ 0.090% molybdenum
104.0 metres @ 0.061% molybdenum
117.4 metres @ 0.090% molybdenum
186.0 metres @ 0.11% copper
The shenanigans prevalent with Bard shares I believe are customary with the sale and development of anything of value on the stock exchange. We only have look at the world monetary system and its demise now underway—soon to be replaced by a block chain based on gold and silver, or directly to gold and silver. We have Bard’s gold and silver held in the safest vault in the world: the Earth. When precious metal values increase to a point where the stock players are left at the roadside and supplanted by the proper party there will be development. With gold and silver rising to their noble height and the genesis of an equitable monetary system I don’t believe we have long to wait.
Much thanks to my son for the greater portion of details in this article.
