REVIEWING PEER - SADDLE GT drill core pics - copper is in the 1% or less bracket - right out of the gates i see green colored cores.
= potentially strong chlorite influence
= salt waters solubilizing the copper into a secondary matrix
= silts = clays = reconsolodated matrix = chlorite water involvement
GT's location of deposit - My takeaway with this pic - simply put - focus on the mineralizarion in what color ?
That's right blue -
Next - if the mineralizatio ncame from the pale green sidewalls
the deposit would als olook green - but it's not
Revert back to the 1st pic - chlorite involvement = salts
Looking at these massive Nortrhern B.C. deposits in which most have a salt vector
Places my mind in the value of - large oceanic rivers coursing through.
Erroding the sulkphide minerals - repackaging them in a salt carbonate matirx.
1 - find the minerals in low land ranges or....
skip to the chase.
2 - look on charge maps for a distinctive bleed and l;each value that runs into a basin.
after establishing the copper or gold values in lower ranges look for the smear trail
of mineralizatiomn that redeposited into an entirely didfferent chlotire or carbonate
deposit -
LOOKS TO ME...
like a repackaged deposit - if deposit were involved with the host side wall rock,
There would be blue seen on the side walls... but all is seen is,,, pale green.
Could it be hydrothermal deposit ?
Hard to say... but... i lean moreso to - salt chlorite waters - massive oceanic rivers.
Could be as simple as just a wedge shaped depsoit where salt waters collected sands
and quartz and solubilized gold and copper and eventually solidified into a new rock matrix of carbonatesd with a hint ofsulphide rocks.
Again... looking at deposits with two sets of eyes..
sulphide or... i prefer -alaki eyes... so many depsoits have rthis chlorite and carbonate
value that goes undetected as an influence of perhaps ocean waters...
And of course the bleed vlaue seen on range going into valley pink copper sulphide zones merges with alaki valley zones. ( own opinion )
Just a simple review of how i look at deposits.
not investment advice... just a topic of sulphure vs alaki.
And of coursew.. my interpretation could be out in left field.
But thern again.. maybe it's not.
Cheers...
