NICKEL - ASSAYING - and a few comments on - AlwynHere's an excerpt from that short research paper -
It discusses how Nickel can harbor inside a silicate crystal structure with magnesium, aluminum, or other silicates -
Think along the lines of,
Muskovite, Mica, Feldspars, Silicate Crystals or, Clay Silicate Plateltes in layering.
Due to the nature of layering, or sharing the same crystal space - the nickel is hidden.
Under closer scrutiny - they've found in certain species that nickel can be present - some are given new names while others are dependent upon ratio and... percentages of each mineral.
In the - 622 - True Claims report with assays,
I decided to take another peek at the assays - discriminating the values of, iron, magnesium, aluminum, calcium, looking for - spikes - in nickel and it's association to other minerals.
Now knowing, nickel can convert to, chlorite, carbonate ,and silicate crystal.
Aluminum is a silicate.
So is, mangesium.
Thrwo in, calcium limes, and iron bearing nickel or pyrite bearing nickel, and lots of
conversion could take place.
NOTE - digestion of minerals in acid - is just as important.
one has to question - is using dilute acid rerally smart ?
dilute saveson the costs of, acid expenses - easier on lab.
while on the flipside - not enough acid also creates issues for not enough bonds
to pair with the acid - think along the lines of - 10 molecules of acid and place 20
molecules of nickel in solution - only 10 of the nickel molecules will pair with acid.
Also... duration of time given for the minerals to dissolve.
such as iron... iron can dissolve 20 - 60 times faster than, nickel.
stop and really think about that one.. .and envisoon a lab personel removing the sludge
from the filterd solution and ask - how much nickel got left behind and discarded in the
sludge vs how little got dissolved in solution ?
It is found that the dissolution rate of iron metal is... by LG Elfimova · 2022 — It is found that the dissolution rate of iron metal is up to 20-60 times faster than nickel metal dissolution rate.
The effect of HNO.sub.3 temperature
Page 521 - True Claim PDF Report - Shows something rather interesting -
Nickel values are elevated when iron percentages are over 10% - eclusive to this page, but nontheless, i feel it's still relevant - in plight of - most of our ores are not that high in iron.
As soon as higher iron levels show, differnet geology, nickel percentages also - elevate.
Thus showing a correlation of - iron and nickel.
As pointed out... were not really drilling the irons as we should be.
Sulphide terminology sounds wonderful and can lend the impression of, irons,
but it can also mean - just more sulphur.
South Pit... if i recall...
has far more sulphides and pyrites.
Only - asayed for gold.
Glade as mentioned in former post -
And in conjunction of referencing a map that deposicts the geology - surface lenses as portrayed in sandwich formation, rolls and folds - labells Glade as, carbonate quartzite.
Carbonate quartzite would match the hatch with - Bristol oucrop that each of the juniorsover the years veered from, or, drilled very little of, and thise drills are like pulling eye teeth to find the results - i can see them plotted on the map that they were dirlled but omitted form the assay results -
If memory serves... ( few years ago ) i distinctly remeber one drill was revealed that drilled into the Bristol and decribed long intercept of gold, but with - low values.
Back then.. i said to myself - hey.. .it's stil limportant -
Fastforward... if 20 -046 is carbonate - and if it turns out, Glade has the carbonate gold,
then, hindsight would suggest - they overlooked somthing of great importance.
In one of Qunito infamous charbaility video sessions -
It portrays the massive pink anomaly leading directly towards Glade.
If connective - it would point to a new geology with gold from 20 - 046 to Glade.
And... could bring in to question - the north or westerly watershed influences on Bristol
errosion and dumping in the lower shelf of, Glade.
Since Bristol has two sides... Scadd and opposite of Scdd ( westenr side )
And the western side having a channel run way - valley.
Could there be a higher odds of gold parking itself on west side of Bristol ?
And.. with influence form north and west watershed s - erroding Bristol and dumping into Glade ?
Time will tell, i gues.. that is if we ever see the cores of - Glade.
Where do i see the project heading ?
Alkin....lol
Veer from 20 - 046 in a blink.
Run to Jovan.
Then, Glade + Alwyn.
Then, show the potential strike from Glade to Alkin
But... let's roll the stock before we reveal the good stuff.. .lol
So... what does this infamous ore look like at - Alwyn ?
Hey... i haven't come across any cores - yet.
Alwyn rock photo belwo - i'd say - has rich grade copper.
Not the ( EQ ) values were seeing in cores -
ALWYN - COPPER ROCK - WITH LOTS OF ( I-T-E-S ) https://apis.mail.yahoo.com/ws/v3/mailboxes/@.id==VjN-5QiH52KGhJJafvgCjwmzVF72v8JvbmsrnIdTvAMeA9MSO1o-idfBnsll3s9AMp2LsVOAykft_OCWIB6Ledswcw/messages/@.id==AJ2Vbd57C6kaY0NBSgqDaO5cLVc/content/parts/@.id==2/thumbnail?appid=YMailNorrin HERE'S THE ONE PAGE EXCERPT - DIFFERENT NICKEL SPEICES - Take note of the formulas - Mg + Ni
Even a calcium nickel - can't help but think of the Bristol and Glade calcium carbonates.
Cheers...
