SPIROL125 ( ceo.ca poster ) part 2Here we can see BSK's Geo's are very familiar with phosphate uranium. ( glow )
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54010515240_d0f6955417_c.jpg P-fertilizers contain
uranium (U) and thorium (Th), up to 660 and 220 mg/kg, respectively
.Jan 15, 2020 That's phosphate rock 220 mg / kg = 220 grams per tonne = 1/2 lb
rock has silicates
What would uranium values be in heavy deep green phosphates ?
And.... that's why i'm adamant about the heavy green phosphate colors.
Ranquil 170 km from Anelo Ranquil hasn't yet seen the calcium limes or sulphur redoxing.
Each mineral group are still intact.
We can also see the heavy violets and SULPHUR.
Sulphur - plays a hyge role in liberating uranium
Uranium sulphate is water soluble - facilitates mobilization.
Once uranium sulphate is water borne, comes in contact with calcium limes
= calcrete uranium ( carnotite ) ( own opinion on transitioning )
Question... Why are some species of carnotite lime green and others....
mustard yellow ?
Lime green = phosphates in the mix ( triad bonds or quad )
Mustard Yellow = Sulphur still in the lattice bonds.
WHY... Do online searches say the formula for carnotite has no sulphur ?
MY ANSWER... Most often labs or junior's don't provide sulphur % ( not kidding )
Subject is a tad more complicated when speaking of....
sulphur + phosphorus Aqua regia ( nitrochloric )
4 part acid (
hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids ) If... uranium reading are too high ----------> they'll use more phosphoric acid
LABS.... use xrf light spectrometry
so do hand held xrf detectors
converting the phosphorus or sulphur minerals to, chloric, fluoric, nitric assists in detection
XRF... ( real answer ) can't quite handle sulphur nor phosphates
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nine-elements-challenge-handheld-xrf SOLUBILITY.... ( partial vs full digestion ) Digestion of samples is extremely important.
Lots of acid + Time duration + heat
= fully solubilized is best but.... spectrometer has issues with sulphur + phosphorus
ADD IT ALL UP.... carnotite uranium is mustard yellow but no sulphur
xrf spectrometry hand or lab can't detect sulphur nor phosphorus
most juniors don't offer sulphur ( grades ) lol
= i'd head for the = sulphur / phosphorus / calc beds = uranium.
= uranium is always around yellow sulphur calc = carbonate uranium
= uranium is always present with phosphorus
3 FAVORITES 170 km NW + 122 km NW ( favorites ) and yellow plains 36 km NE of Anelo
Here's the 122 km NW showing north of, Anelo. Expanded
What do the plain or basin look like at Chihuidos ? Crusty pale green calc's surficial.
Guess we'll know soon enough what grades are at Chihuidos when
BSK provides an update.
To be fair... Chihuidos 150m thick violet shales does show more phosphate on open face ridge.
Seems diff days the satellite map provides true colorations while other days... dull.
No joke....which is why i use several name brand satellite co's.
Yes....i have found a few other zones south west of Anelo.
But.... others in same vicinity are mining these yellow calcs -------> south of Corvus.
Cheers....
