GENERAL POSTThe easiest way to explore on foot for gold is...
Searching for surface dykes, fissures, faults... What's below - usually comes up to surface.
Ground opens up....Silica quartz comes up and fills the seam or fissure,
Every now and then... gold will show itself.
In my opinion... that's all Bonanza, Johnston, Red Rock, has really seen, cept, a few drill
holes... Exception to this rule - Scad - has seen the most exploration.
.
Knowing where the gold eminated from is the main premise.
Finding the source gold is what it's all about.
Most gold was found around the Scadding - by way of, seeking out dykes and fissures, or
playing it safe, andkeeping close to the Scadi mine itself...
Discovering the gold ciricled around - finding the dykes and fissures.
That's only half the story, when it comes to finding source gold.
In and out, grabbing the easy gold - in shallow digs - all is said and done.
But... could there be more to the Scad gold story in this area ?
Branching out and connecting other nearby gold anomalies - is a good start.
In the report below - ( basic report )
it briefly covers the topics in which i spoke about last eve ( larger study ) around Scad area - i'd supply a link o nthe largetr study - but the gov't report is under - copy rights - no can do....sorry.
In each report - around the Scadding - there's bits + pieces that allow a measure of
patching the macro storyline together - at least i think there is.
Supporting evidence that may add to the " larger gold prensence " in this region.
A common theme seems to be at play, whereras,
- dykes and fissures were ever only explored
- breccia and gabbro intrusion always surface around the subject of gold.
- shallow gold is ever an apparent theme
- found in fissures with silica quartz, gabbro, breccia
- chlorite is a strong proponent amongst the matrixies
- but more importantly... if time were rolledback, and one were to shave the surface 50m
what would be found ?
- Limestone is found at the 50 m depth in the Scad region which correlates with -
Espanola's lime and Sepetine occurence.
- Limes are caustic - and woul;d certainly do a number on, the irons.
- Serpentines may give clue to the chlorite anomaly around Scad.
- If carbonates are with in this beccia matrixies - it could point to this 50 ft depth surfacing
each time a falut or fissure is discovered.
- could a blanketed gold bed be found at the 15 m to 50 m depths - harboring gold ?
- Gold surfacing in this lime matrix of ores each time a fissure or fault is found ?
- Hard to say... but it is interesting how majority gold is found in several other location with a
common theme - that being - 0 m to 50 m depths.
- could the gold be only associated to the - fissures ans dykes - perhaps...
- but.. what if this 50m zone is being projected up with in the fissures and dykes ?
= it would mean the 50 m zone might have a blanketed reef style gold zone.
= thingds is.. it might be in vortex pockets - depressions - where the gold accumilated.
= if one could pin point these isolated small vortexes it might zero in on th gold all the quicker.
= could veerring away from the strong iron resistences be key ?
= could seeking out subtle topical land depressions lead to carbonate zones where the
gold may have been swept in - filling the depressions around the iron formations ?
hard to say... but it is interesting seeing some surveys depict the gold intercepts that are
fringing the westerly sides of the red anomalies on, BMK's surveys... such might support
lower elevations adjacent to the iron formations, where these gaps were filled with other
foreign intrusion ores - gabbro, fragmented breccias...etc... if the chlorite is presenrt, such
could reinforce the - forign gold intrusion - but.. still with in close proxinity for source.
if one points thier compass to the infamous - HammonReef - Thunder Bay On, it's there
we will also find brecciated gabbro, course matrixes... very similar to what Scad is hosting.
Hammon Reef is reknown for, reef depsoit gold. Reefs = water intrusion.
Most likely salt water, to disperse the gold - in which most likekly came from the fractured
fssures - - Hammon Reef is in close proximirty to Lake Superior, while Scadding is in close
proximity to, Gergian Bay.
Bonanza, Johnston, Scadding ( 4 gold zones ) and immediate north of Scad is the
Red Rock Occurence... Red Rock is of, importance. Its almost inline with Scad,
In the link below ( basic report ) it does mention of miners working the dyke and pulling out gold in shallow digs...
Red Rock - is synomanous with...
Bonanza, Johnston, Scad, .. all have the same theme of shallow gold, with fractured breccia.
If one dismissed the dyke or vein theory,
and instead trerated the region as a blanketed REEF - would they discover all the more gold
by verring attention away from the dykes and looking at the 0m to 50m depth as a potential
blanketed zone that lies atop host rock ? Some reports state there's a lime presence at this
50m depth.. .limes are caustic, they could easily errode the host basement rock at this 50m
depth.. And if we peel back the first 50m and reel back the years.. what would we - find ?
An exposed limestone ? Or, how about waters covering this region with high concentrations
of caustic limes - moving the erroded ores too and fro... which might point to, seeking out
depressioins filled with a matrix of ( hienz 57 ores ) along with carbonates in which the gold
is harbored. All outside the iron formations, but still near the higher iron formations - that woudl support pockets - vortexes of carbonates and gold.
One could counter my reef theory and say...
Reef theory is out of the picture - reason being - east of Scad was drilled last year and if it were a reef, gold would have been found. And my reply ? What if there's a fringe barrier from south Scad to Red Rock, and everything west of Scad is potential Reef - which supports a Wanapatei Reef system, and whose to say.. what if the river that ports south from Wanapatei Lake is a fissure itself ? How else would a river form without first having a depression causeway ?
There's far stronger evidence of gold...
From Scad going north to south and westerly of scad...
This encompassing area supports shallow gold to the 50m depths - again - each conssitent with shattered breccia ores - while east of Scad, the geology, changes. .

CHLORITES
- Sudbury is known for it's gold being associated with quartz veins in, Nipissing Diabase
- Diabase is the country host rock.but there's also hints of, Sepentine rocks, which blend
with the Espanola region, which just so happens to have - chlorites.
- what do chlorites have to do with Scad ?
- simply put, there is signs of chromium in the Scad vicinity, and in other parts of the world,
research has been performed on,sepentine, irons, oxygen and chromium, which show signs of,
producing a chlorite / chromium chloride.
- If Scad has significant chlorite with in its ores, the question becomes is this a transitional
chromium chlorite - inwhich could be electrolyically extracted to prodcue - chromium ?
hard to say.. but it would be interesting to see a full chlorite analysis on Scads, chlorites.
The chlorite might convert to,chromium, mineral. Does Ontario host, chromium - you betch ya.
STUDY ON - SERPENTINE - IRON, OXYGEN, CHROMIUM - CHLORITE / CHLORIDE

Why mention the chlorites ?
All in plight of... dissolving the chlorite ores, and seeing if the chlorite is harboring chromite.
If ichromite transitioned to a - chromite chloride - just maybe... an electrolytical procees could reverse the process and convert to - chromite. ( additional mineral credit )
In the larger report i read last eve - there is chromite presnce around the Scad, just north.
As per the Scadding drills, that focused on the main Scadding Mine, i did notice that several
of the drill holes came in from the east to west - cutting across the Scad... but, given the
distance and asmuth of the drills, i'm guessing, to 50 m depths west side of Scad, were completely missed - the drills were too deep at depth, by the time they punched through the Scadding main ore body. Thus.. they may have missed the 50, gold zone.
Keeping inline with the Johnston ocurance, it would be interesting to see a few drills to a 50m
depth punched in thids direction. Just to see if gold is present - if conclusive - and gold is found - it could verey well support a reef style -gold system.
If jJovan hit the gold.. and if the drills were kept south of the Scad ( inline north to south )then, i'd say, it could also supoort a reef style gold system...
Cheers...
