Oh Kramer....Feldspars are made of up quartz....
Quartz are silicas, and if one probes the dynamics of silicas and how they form cubic quartz or felsic flat wafer quartz, well... not much on that subject...
In fact, there's not much on how mica is formed in wafer glass sheets.
Taking feldspar as an example,
there are many kinds, some even look like gabbro, or granitic, yet others have that sheet like glass wafer structure going on, which just so happens to match the = nica characteristic.
Perhaps, it's a case of silica turned to quartz, and extreme heat turned the cubic quartz to mica. Again... mica and quartz are silicas.
As for covellite and cousins ?
I will rephrase that.... all sulphur ( sulphide ) coppers are covellites cousin.
Each... have a bond with sulphur.
chalocpyrite
chalcocite
covellite
bornite
All.... ( ites ) pyritic and base of iron - formulation.
Your a nerd Kramer.
Nit picking anytihng and everything.
Jealous, indeed.
I don't see any of your posts speaking o,f minerology.
Useless.
More i think of mcBride and Railway....
i think they should have a second geologist ( take ) on the area.
Taking into consideration - STIKINE ASSEMBALGE - not hard to take more samples.
It has that distinct - grey ore look - same as RedChris.
When one researches Imperials attempt to find more copper for Newmont, they drilled
around RedChris, but thier results were at extreme depth....
Hence, they ( Imperial ) went more south westerly, on the search for more copper.
One has to ask why....
in terms of, will the RecChris mine be profitable mining the underground portion of the coppers at extreme depths vs the simple flintstone operation of open pits ?
Why did Imperial go on the hunt for more copper ?
Which is why - if i were Hawkeye - i would take another trek up to McBride and Railway....
And check out the Zectoo range and compare it with the soils north side of McBride.
Thisarea in question, does show some attributes of, potential, porphyry deposit.
All basing it on... the viduals on google maps seeing loose tills and small float rocks atop of Zectoo mountain... Key ingerdients for a porphyry deposit. Throw in grey hue ores and copper samples already taken - could spell - high odds.
Seeing the high ASK wall on Hawk, makes me think, someone might be interested in Hawks claims... no reason to see so many ask shares on a small junior... very odd.
Throw in, 709m dril lhole... pissing away all the meters in one hole, is the second oddity, andwell... lets see those 709m drill cores.. would love to see what they look like.
And... Hawkeye should do a double take on the 709m drill cores.
They have a handheld XRF in possession right ?
Hello....
I'm not partial to small juniors who have claims kissing large players.
If the junior ( any junior ) finds anytihng... chances are... a cap of asks occur.
Not quite fair.
let's see those McBride cores... lots of them.
They said fledspars were encountered.
But... visuals of cores... tell all.
