2017 W horizon: 3 new minerals & RHThe discovery of abundant (>330 grains) large unknown sulfide minerals with Rh allows us to present analyses three significant potentially new minerals (WUK-1, WUK-2, WUK-3) that are all clearly enriched in Rh (averaging 4.2, 8.5 and 28.21 wt% Rh respectively). Several examples of paragenetic sequences and mineral chemical changes for enrichment of Cu, Pd and Rh with time are revealed in the PGM and base-metal sulfides. We suggest this enhanced metal enrichment formed in response to increasing fO2 causing the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ and to a lesser extent, S
Also notice the deposits mentioned.
Generation owns 5.4m shares of the parent company.
Kerry mentioned a smelter paying 50% on the Rhodium, could influence the decision
on a deal. These papers sound like they should now spend the money to be able to assay
for RH.
Or even contract with some of these authors on W Horizon, who did perform assays.
RH today is @ 19k an ounce, with zero break insight.
Glta!
