ACE HISTORICAL DRILL DATA - MISSING ELEMENT What mineral is needed to form,
- Chalcopyrite - CuFeS
- Cubanite - CuFe2S3
- Cosalite - ( ref 1992 ) Makovicky - CuxAgi+sPb8-2s-0.5(x+i)Bi8+sS20
= IRON bearing copper is needed for these copperoxides to form.
What's missing in the Ace drill lab analysis ?
IRON values
Page 47 - does mention iron presence.
Yet... the drill results data - makes no mention of iron values.
I find that very odd, like real odd.
in order for chalcopyrite to form... it requires iron copper host rcok - in which to precipitate copper. Same goes for, cubanite.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubanite
Iron assay omissions would keep a ( latter ) geologist spinning in circles.
Having iron values with in the drill and soil data would be a nessisary - tie in - to allow for
proper analysis of hte copper and locating more copper.
Same goes for the Tourmaline values. There's an apparent 2.5 km - boron halo on Ace.
Tourmaline is comprised from - boron.
Marble is also mentioned in bore holes - marble is made from, ryholite - extreme heat.
Now... why mention all this ?
Simple.
On certain maps, there's a visual presence of - red oxides.
It would fit the -bill - for - iron oxides - that might harbor - copper.
Iron... should be a huge part of- Ace's - explore program.
Just my own opinion.
Page - 47 - mentions the kinds of copper ( refer to post above )
Page - 49 -reveals no iron or copper in soils yet is talked about - very odd.
4.1 % copper is mentioned in - stringer boulders - does this mean stringer
boulders from host rock ?
Page - 55 - drill assay data - no iron values.

SUM IT UP....
Search for the iron
Could assist with the copper.
Perhaps the high mag survey values might be due to an iron oxide.
Iron in, chalcopyrite, Cubanite, Cosalite.
Ace has all the attributes of a porphyry deposit.
Silver, zinc, lime, copper, lead, moly, pyrites, etc....
Thwy might have to tap holes deeper, or up the range more, or...
perhaps the patherfinder lead - i mentioned - could point to - source.
Cheers....
Done with this subject....
It's up to the junior to find the copper/gold/zinc.
