NICE INTERCEPT 3-D CHARGE MAP - 289m
https://macdonaldmines.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Figure1-Plan_Map_Metal_Factor_200615.png
Drill Hole 20 046 was capped @ 200m - with - 400m stepout of Scad
Charge map above is at 289m
It would be nice to see a - simple - charge survey of surface -
I'm thinking entirely different than...BMK.
Gold is there...but not associated to, high charge targets 289m below,
Why ?
Simply Put - the gold was well above trhe 289m high charge red anomaly.
Therefore - gold from red taerget below - cannot redistribute itself from below to atop -
Which might point to - gold came in frm a different - system - northerly.
Again.. my theory involves the influence of salts...
Whether ocean came in from great leakes - or - glacial ice cap that didn't go beyond the tundras - therefore - either southern ocean water or, ice cap glacial melt with salt water - came down and carved out al lthe landscape - to the great lakes...whose to say both didn't happen...
STILL PIC OF SURFACE CHARGE - 3-D -

Scad Mine area is in BLUE.
Therefore chasing deep red charge targets - when gold is well above therse targets...
Is - not a theory i'm buying into .
WhAT I WOULD BELEIVE IS....
The upper strata has is a compilation of diseminated ores from the, north, reconsolodated
via salts into a secondary deposit - - - could this drill core pic - prover so ?

Cores are heavily chlorated.
If it were an indigenous iron with chlorite gold - it would have remnants of true iron assembly.
If one refers to the 3-D charge map ar 289m ( not crazy about thischarge pic )
But...if one looks at the outlier coloration - and suppopsing the coloration charge is as same as above - it would mean - the gold is not in the dark pink - red zones -
TRACKING THE GOLD
One needs a singlualr charge map inwhich to run off if...
Even if the charge map was all wrong - a junior would still be able to decipher what's happenign below grade - simply compare where one is hitting trhe gold andajust to the coloration of the charge map - again, even if the charge was off...the miner could still stick to the drills that did hit gold then...simply match it to the one charge map - ofthe color zone that is hitting gold...
Yes.. it's nice to have a correct charge of area...
But it becomes a question of...which charge map is the right one, when i've come across 3 different charge maps.
DRILL HOLE LOGGING OF HITS
Current drill hole 20 046 gives an average of gold - 1.5/g
If one was asked to map out where the gold is - it would be impossible.
WHY ?
Because 3 of the intercepts - no gram value was given accept the intercept
What if the very first intercept had a = 20/g hit
It can easily adjust the 20m intercept with a higher value than it may or may not have...
Therefore - knowing each intercept value - is imperitive to TRACK THE GOLD
and know what's happenign below grade.
Ifone refersw to the dril lpics from oother holes - above link
The iron appears as if it's reconsolodated - with lots of green chlorite
Seeing thatmuch green or chlorite - leads me to beleive this, might, be a seondary redistribution of gold - diseminated by salts and resolidified into a whole new matrix.
Just my own opinion....and if ever proved = it might fall under the category of, reef style.
Could even involve vortex style - if water movement was baraccaded by abovde groud structures that trapped the diseminated ores - forcing a deposit to a confined area - then, solidify -
I read, an intro to, one of the geo's papers on, IOCG gold deposits...
Evolution doesn't cut the mustard...it provides no consice or decisive evidence of how an iron deposit with chlorite csame to be...MAGMA AND EVOLUTION...hmmm...while on the flip side - if xeveral salts are that apparent surrounding a gold anomaly - thius should be the main focus -
versus - evolutions...with just the intro write up - doesn't sound very certrain as how IIOCG deposits are formed...just saying...

Just an opinion...
I'm happy they hit 22m intercept - very nice - but...knowing all intercept values + correct charge map and fully knowing the values of all salts and thier influence - will certainly assist in, knowing how this gold system - developed.
I tihnk they should reexamine the cores...and see if it is a secondary deposit - reconsolodated.
I'm only going off of pics...not looking at the actual core...
Cheers...
