Review of the resistivity and chargeability data has shown that there is a correlation of low resistivity and high chargeability with gold mineralization.
FROM STANCE OF INVESTOR
In the latest video - BMK inverts the charability map
No way in telling what mode the above map is in...
REGULAR - or - INVERSION
It's not a major do do - one only needs to look at the, drill hits on map above
Simply - stick to the original charability survey - without toying with inversions.
It will always ground the junior in what is what -
Look at the drill hits on the map - some were successgul in the light greens
While others near the chargability were not successful -
Question stands -
what mode was the map in - when plotting the drill - hits|?
NORTH + SOUTH PITS
- ARE NOT IN THE CHARABILITY ZONES
- NEAR CONTACTR TRANSITION ZONES
- FRINGING THE CHARABILITY
- IF MAP ABOVE IS IN ORIGINAL STATE = ALKAI LESS RESISTIVITY
- MOST OF THE DRILLS THAT ENTERED INTO BRECCIA - DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH
- BRECCIA ZONE - OTHER SIDE OF - BRISTOL AND MONACO -= REVEALED GOLD
Could former Scadding intel reveal where the previous miner was
focued on finding gold ? .

WHAT WERE THEY FAVORING ?
Exploration targets include breccia zones such as host the gold mineralization at the Scadding Mine, quartz-carbonate veins in both sedimentary and igneous rocks, and copper-nickel concentrations with gold, silver, and platinum group metals in Nipissing gabbronorite, similar to the Rathbun Lake deposit.
HISTORICAL - SURVEYS
Subsequently the area including both claim groups was covered by an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey done by Kennco Explorations (Canada) Ltd. in 1968. The Ashigami Group was included in the area covered by an airborne magnetometer, electromagnetometer, and radiometric survey done by Gulf Minerals Canada Ltd. in 1972.
ROCK CHARACTERISTICS
Huronian sediments are cut by gabbros assigned to the Nipissing intrusive suite. A Late Precambrian olivine diabase dike is mapped in the northwest part of the claim group.
The attitude of the sedimentary units in the Wanapitei claims is variable, strikes are generally to the northeast and dips range from 15 0 to 70 0 N. An anticlinal axis extends into the property along the portion of the Southeast Bay access road that runs almost due north from the northeast corner of Lot 9, Concession III.
The Bruce Formation rocks that are mapped in the threeclaim group are in fault contact with clastic sediments of the Mississagi Formation of the Hough Lake Group along the eastern limit of the block. The Mississagi Formation rocks strike approximately east/west and dip steeply to the north. The Bruce Formation rocks west of the faults appear to have similar attitudes.
.Gold and base metal mineralization in the Scadding-RathbunDavis township area is observed in three, probably-related environments. One type of mineralization appears to be related to emplacement of quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets in fractures in and adjacent to fault zones in both sedimentary and igneous rocks of the property. Gold is present in the native state, usually on the margins of the veins and veinlets that we have inspected in the area. Visible gold appears to be in relatively large grains of one to thirty milligrams and to be randomly distributed in the quartzcarbonate veins and veinlet systems. Assays of samples we have taken from the the vein-type showings indicate that there is also some fine gold that is not likely to be visible in hand specimen, but the limited data that are available suggest the greater part of the metal is present in relatively coarse grains. Chloritization associated with the fault-controlled quartz carbonate vein systems may be even more pervasive than carbonate addition. Both gabbros and sediments appear strongly chloritized in all locations where precious metal values are reported. In some exposures of quartz-carbonate mineralization, original rock forming minerals have been totally replaced by chlorite so that identification of the host rock becomes difficult at the hand specimen level. The second type of mineralization is typified by the auriferous zones of the Scadding Mine on the Orofino Resources Limited property in Lots 5 and 6, Concession II, Scadding township.
These mineralized zones are described as ?breccia pipes? which are characterized by strong chloritic alteration which may make up 4(^ to 5 0* o f the rock, with quartz in veins and veinlets and as part of coarsely recrystallized quartzplagioclase groundmass. Minor carbonate, biotite, rounded apatite, and detrital zircons are also present. The auriferous breccias contain pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, magnetite, galena, minor silver, and very low palladium. (Martens et al., OGS Misc. Paper 91, 1979, pp 111-113.) Not all quartz-carbonate vein systems or known breccia pipes are metal-bearing.Neither is there an obvious relationship between intensity of chloritization and base or precious metal values. It is postulated by Martins et al., (op. cit., 1979.) that the base and precious metals are derived in part from the Serpent Formation subgreywacke and siltstones with enrichment by solutions originating in the Nipissing gabbro.
This inter pretation suggests that the areas of the property most favourable for development of both vein-type and breccia mineralization would lie near to, and within Serpent Formation arkosic to silty sediments. The silt content of the sediments is considered by Martins to be important as a metal source. The lower energy environment of deposition characteristic of the Espanola Formation is observed to be more conducive to fine sediment deposition than the generally higher energy, near-shore environment characteristic of the Serpent Formation arkosic clastic sediments. Martins suggests that the best areas for prospecting for the breccia type mineralization is near to the Espanola Formation - Serpent Formation contact.
OWN OPINION ?
Don't run with the Espinola model -
Stick to the intrusion / infusion of Cholrides - Breccia - Contact Zones - Serpintine -
Question the charability map - is it inverted or... original
Drill Hits tel lthe whole story - but...stick to one survey map - original
Otrherwise - it becomes a, goose chase...
Who really knows...eh... wink.
