NOBEL METALS or NOBEL GASES ( He - trapped in peridotires )Thanks Triken,
I too agree with Rick,
Wellgreen has enormous potential but, not quite realized.
A very unique deposite requiring finesse, extra attention.
Such as these remarkable statement; C Swindle · 2019 — Mantle noble gases trapped in peridotites are useful because they shed light on processes such as solid/melt partitioning C Swindle · 2023 — Mantle helium in massif peridotites is subject to confounding processes distinct ... Helium distribution in a mantle Researchgate - We present new helium concentrations and isotopic abundances in a suite of dredged abyssal peridotites from the Southwest Indian Ridge Numerous studies on trapped Helium in, Peridotites ( one report mentions, these
He isotopes are extractable ).
Wellgreen has several kinds of, serp's / olivines.
Heazlewoodite - solid solution - 73.3% nickel. Another is, Peridotite.
In this prophecy image we can see what type of nickel content
is hosted in the Peridotites.
0.29% 0.39%
Wopping 46.18m and still a respectable 0.29% Ni
3 variables with ( Peridotites )
Iron or Magnesium or contain both.
Let's suppose Wellgreen's nickel is derived from, Irons. Are the Iron's already magnetic ?
If so, and if nickel are in iron bonds = easy removal of, Ni + Fe
If irons are nonmagnetic
And extraction were to experience - roasting -
it would convert the iron to magnetic and result in = easily extracted Ni + Fe
What did phase 1 reveal about the ores using simple magnets ?
Was this ever carried over to phase 2 ?
How about roasting ?
25% magnetite extracted with upto 40% Plat's and Gold.

Imagine that...
while researching Peridotites, i happened to come across
Helium.
If proved, could one label Peridotire deposites as, seq Helium ?
Kind of like, NAT gas held in aquifers as reserves ?
lol
Cheers....
Was also was reading up on,
platinum metals in peridotites... It's a well known topic.
Just look at the image ( above )
Very decent plat grades in our Wellgreen peridotites.
Cheers...
