2 ACES ( ASIDE OF SPANISH MOUNTAIN )Here's a report on the 2 Aces claims block aside of, Spanish Mountain.
Why read this ? Supporting evidence that's why.
This report - contains ore characterization details that are coincident to that of, Spanish.
Strong presence of, Graphitics.
Even Manganese upto 25% - in silt clays.
the report also mentions something interesting about the surveying methods ....
Here we can see how a gold miner has a one track mind.
They were seeking out the sulphides, hoping to hone in on source, gold.
Yet, this CARIBOU corridor is placer atop.
Which is kind of pointless to seek out sulphides with a top coating of placer ores.
They ( Barker Minerals ) used an HLEM survey to discriminate against graphitics and Sulphides.
Hoping the survey would hone in on the sdulphides. Again, pointless when dealing with upper strats placer matrrixes.
Just another report that backs the graphitics and... even MN, upto 25%.
The oddity is...
Gold miners, many... are still stuck in 1950.
Only seeking the gold - dismissing other valued minerals..
And the irony is... what was once considered cheap minerals of no value have now
taken center stage and are almost as valuable in gold -
- lithium
- magnesium
- manganese
- calciums
- potasium
- zincs
- tin
- etc....
And never discount lead... lead is also stil lin play...
lead still has a very high electron value which when paired in mdern day ev-batteries
arer still pound for pound high energy ( electrical ) holding/absorbing.
In my opiniom, what has not garnered any attention is, mica.
I have not come across any papers on this, unsung mineral.
If another was smart... they'd take its key attribute ( leyered sheet silica ) and mixit
with the grpahitics to create a supoer anode....
Who knows... the next low valued mineral such as mica could make the roster list and join
the other salt minerals as being most saught after....
Here's the Barker Minerals Report....
Good read.
Provides insight in the regional ore charaterizatio naside of, Spanish Mountain.

Cheers....
On another note... was just reading up on, Imperial Metals ( largest holder, Murry Edwards )
And, any association to, Osisko mines + Osisko Royalties - Yamana, Malaric, Angico.
Trying to see what moves might be in play,
with these larger interests involving the Caribou district.
Spanish is a sitting duck with alot of gold ounces...
But.. .what if other mineral credits came into play ?
Should B.C. make a presence/debute in the battery metals ?
Give Quebec a run for thier money with, graphitics ?
