2016 - FACT SHEET - SOLUTION SILICATE MINERALS2016 Prez - endorsed the 846 million tonne inferred resource.
Same Prez - proceeded with sulphide extraction when 86% resource = silicate.
Same Prez - 2017 axed 86% inferred resource.
We need the market to reinstate the 846 million inferred tonnes.
We need the market to reject 2023 pfs We need the market to tell junior to include - iron, titanium, chromium, exotics We need the market to tell the junior to use 2012 MET ( temp wise ) We need the market to tell the junior to find a suitable extraction Look what 2016 promoted - Platinum Eq's - inferred ores https://s21.q4cdn.com/491660439/files/doc_downloads/fact_sheets/Latest-Fact-Sheet-November-2016.pdf Large Shareholder % ( names i've come across ) Electrum Group - 130 million common shares
Drake Investments - 25.2 million common shares
Resource Captial - 9% ( 2016 yr class )
Tocqueville Gold Fund - ??? ( former years )
Whose on the
small shareholder's side ? Who
ultimately chose to run with, xps extraction ?
REMINDER - If one includes both sulphide and solution nickel in silicates
Just Peridotites = 0.77%
Why are we only seeing 0.26% grades !
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53314406722_f0c05143da_z.jpg HOW SMART MINERS BUILD VALUE Front Nickel - easy excuse to discard 0.15% Ni grades.
Front PG's - platinum group runs 1 - 2+/g eq per tonne in the
0.15% nickel silicates = you'd keep the silicates because of the platinum. I'd like shareholders to really look at this image. I'm seeing
2/3 ( peridotite / dunite ) ( 1/3 Clino / Gabb / Sulphide )
Discarding 86% inferred ( silicates )
Discards the big ticket - PLAT GROUP + Titanium + Chromium
Titanium + Chromium + Solution Nickel ( all hidden ) till fusion assaying
Says alot for all our drill cores - majority saw partial digestion Here's our real grades ( fusion assay ) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53314406722_f0c05143da_z.jpg Look at the Plat Group grades in, Peridotite + Dunite
What would they be with - Fusion assaying ? yellow / orange / red 
Peridotite + Dunite sit atop Gabbs + Sulphide.
Peridotite + Dunite -
Have to be mined firstly. lol
What CEO would discard 86% of resource and run with 14% ?
Any other CEO
would resort to finding an extraction that accommodates the 86%. Former years
stockpiled peridotites. They knew back then, they could still process and extract minerals from silicate.
Incase you missed my last research on, solid solution If solid solution minerals are captured + sulphides
Wellgreen's Dual Nickel =
0.77% in situ grade You see.... minerals do come in many transitional forms.
Nickel Carbonate
Nickel + Magnesium bonds
Nickel + Calcium bonds
Nickel Chloride Solid solution
Nickel Sulphide solid solution Nickel Oxide metallic What do you think a
sulphuric extraction would prefer, lol.
Funny thing is, Solid solution will also contain,
pyroxine, clinopyroxine, iron bond minerals, magnesium nickel bonds, carbonates.
And.... solution minerals locked in, silicates.
Solid Solution Think of a popsicle.
Coloration = mineral
Ice = silica.
Suppose you have a peridotite or Olivine core in hand.
You crush it, then powder fine mill it.
If there are any solid solution minerals with in, coloration gives it away.
It will be not wet, but powder form.
Nickel Chloride = Green
Nickel sulphide = Green or Blue. Either or.
Ahhhh.
Green Nickel Solid Solution = Milled + Dried = Powder = Nickel Chloride 2
= Highly soluble in WATER Green Nickel Solid Solution = Milled + Dried = Powder = Nickel Sulphide
= Highly soluble in WATER Green Chromium Solid Solution = Milled + Dried = Powder = Chromium 3,4
= Highly soluble in WATER Why are we not measuring and keeping ?
Mineralized Silicates All ores factored.
Crush, fine mill to capture more solid solution.
Light water acid bath.
Drain light acid bath water
= Captured solid solution minerals
Plats, irons, Mg, Gold, Cobalt, Titanium, Oxides
move on for more processing.
= SIMPLE FORMAT. Both Nickels representing
0.77% would come into play.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53314406722_f0c05143da_z.jpg Here's a resesrch paper on, minerals in, olivines, dunite, serps, etc...
Discusses hoe silicate can be used to capture CO2 in oceans.
ISSUE ?
Dumping mineralized silicates in ocean still mineralized contaminates
ocean with, nickel and chromium.
Extreme fine grind imparts the minerals.
= they mention how the nickel + chromium in solid solution Re,
= WATER SOLUBLE !!!!
