NEW SPECIES OF NICKEL - SERPENTINE QUARTZ / CHLORITE SILICA Well now....
My research on salt brines in Alberta,
how ammonia, nitrogen and chloride salt brines are inter related has spawned into new topics of asking - could cobalt and especially nickel dissolve into a hydroxide and reform into quartz silica crystals - greenor blue -
I searched to see if my theory held any weight -
salt water can have a major impact on how minerals dissolve, bond, and reform into new secondary deposits. Turns out - my theory does hold - validity.
16 page - pdf - Theophrastite is commonly associated with hydroxides, such as (Co,Mn,Ni)(OH)2 and
silicate minerals (
mostly Ni-rich serpentine), garnet, vesuvianite and magnetite, all cross-cutting earlier deformed assemblages, suggesting a common origin in space [12]. Recently, theophrastite was described in association with aggregates of hydroxylated nickel carbonates, such as zaratite [Ni3CO3(OH)4·4H2O], otwayite [Ni2CO3(OH)2·H2O], nullaginite [Ni2CO3(OH)2] and hellyerite [NiCO3·6H2O] aggregates in partially serpentinized dunite at Fujiwara, in the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt of high-pressure intermediate type, Japan
6 days ago — Nickel is mainly hosted in chlorite, serpentine and in theophrastite, a new mineral that contains up 80 wt% of NiO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Understand what - limestones - chlorite alterations - salt brines - can do to ore bodies when
in contact and how sulphide minerals react with alkai solutions and how mineral perform new bonds - is critical in understanding what secondary can look like, and how they've morphed into a new - style of ore body. Alkai's are very caustic - and will perform mineral conversions.

So... does Sudbury and area have serpentine and chloritic ores ?
Oh yeah they do.
Has McD ever performed an ore characterization ?
Has McD ever tested thier rock chips, buzz cutouts, or cores for, nickel or cobalt or copper at,
Scadding mine ?
Do we have significant - chlroitic ( grene and blue ) colored ore ?
Yes.
Are we close to sudbury ?
Very.
And is Sudbury reknowned for nickel, copper, gold, cobalt ?
Yes.
What has - INVENTUS - called their Sudbury land package ?
Sudbury - 2.0
Could this indicate they're trying to assemble a land package with minerals to
match the existing ( but quickly depleting ) current Sudbury mines ?

Jul 5, 2022 — Interaction of nickel sulfate solutions at pH 1-3 with serpentine minerals leads to the formation of pimelites (Ni3Si4O10(OH)2.4H2O) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOC - GOV - FILE - Four zones of gold mineralization at the Scadding Mine in Scadding Township were hosted by tectonic breccias at the base of the Serpent quartzite where it overlies Espanola limestones (Quirke Lake Group). Gold, chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite and intense chloritic alteration were present within the structurally complex stockworks.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1303163/000116552705000294/ex99.txt - chalcopyrite - copper
- serpent quartzite - as mentioned in beginning of post - newly identified - nickel mineral found -
- pyrrhotite - contains nickel - mined in Sudbury.
- ardenopyrite - is a well known ( ite ) that harbors - cobalt - ( ref: cobalt On, and - Yellowknife )
McD -
never focused on, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrohtite, nor, aresenopyrite -
at the Scadding mine.
Few of our drill holes at - Scadd....
Ended with mineralization still continuing .
Question - were only our best gold grams documented - best intercepts ?
What if there was gold grams under 1.g in some of the meterage ?
Where were the - 30,000+ meters of historicla Scadd mine - drills located ?
In contrast to - current drills over the last 4 years ?
If we expanded on the - Scadd mine - now with over 400m strike -
then... what sort of gold ounces could we have amassed if all lenses were factored ?
What if... copper and cobalt and nickel were in hydroxide form ?
Colored cores -
Should we not check with - reassay ?
It is said... the sepent and breccia overly the - limestone at, Scadd.
Did you know - that calcium and limestone deposits are most often - coral reefs from long ago ?
Did you know... that ( REE's ) are reknown to host with in - calcium ore bodies ?
_________________________________________________________________________
What do i find interesting ?
Manitoulin area limestone - has blebs and small gouge pockets - almost as if they were
coral reefs -
Has McD - ever drilled into the limestones benieth the breccias and serptent lithology ?
If by chance they have any limestone cores - and if the limestone is colored - they should assay for REE's - even cobalt -

Between McD + Inventus
They have such large tracks of lands - i feel it's far to ogreat of a burden to place one a lil junior -
These size of lands would take numerous years to fully scope out.
Rolling the junior(s) is pointless.
It only takes from invesotrs.
Such tracks of lands - should be off market -
Why allow investors ot invest - if the junior has a destined future of - roll.
The Majors - should have land packages as these.
It's not right ot allow investors to invest in such large projects - knowing that a small junior will certainly roll several times trying to - build out, prove up projects of this size.
1 - Have Majors take these - projects out - avert injury to small investors.
- McEWEN, SPROTT, OSISKO + MAJORS ( GLENCORE + VALE )
- TAKE IT PRIAVE WITH MAJORS -
OR
2 - almagamate ( McD + Inventus )
unite both juniors to form a ( SUDBURY 2.0 ) combining all lands.
then.... 2 juniors run the massive land package
dividing the lands into different sectors - inviting in - several other junoors
accellerating the advancing of - SUDBURY 2.0
both ( McD + iNVENTUS - WOULD ACT AS PARENT COMPANY )
with several JUNIORS helping out - it becomes - a grand scale - project.
PARENT ( McD + Inventus ) offer 30% stake - to sub junior -
No shares are used by parent company -
suppose 10 sub juniors working and building out each sector -
grows quicker - no dilution for parent - and leaves 70% value for parent company
in which to bater with - Majors.
Othwrwise - it will be a long haul... with several rolls, and many small investors wiped out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is all the research i'm doing on this area.
Am invested.
Just a tad discouraged knowing the cards are stacked against small investors.
Not impressed - junior never calculated a resource.
No nickel, copper, cobalt assays for Scadd.
Lots of delay and switch ups which most certainly cna affect a stock -
Drill placements on new areas - Gladeor Alwyn... do not really have goodstep outs
Such doesn't allow for an initial inferred resource to assist stock.
Colored ores - blues and greens... were merely, bypassed.
Junior should've checked for - hydroxide minerals gone into solution. ( Scadd )
Inventus performed - sodium peroxide assaying.
I think we only used - fire assay for, Scadd.
Cheers....
