IVANAITEBSK never really identified the uranium. They coined it -
"ivanaite" Thought it was green silicate uranium ( but wasn't silicate )
susceptible to alkaline carbonate leaching without oxidation likely a
hydrated U+6 silicate of possible U6+(SiO4)?(OH)? total organic carbon (TOC) content of composite samples of uranium-vanadium mineralization is quite low, from
360 to 1900 ug/g (0.036% to 0.19%; Carlevaris, 2018b).
The QEMSCAN study of the altered primary mineralization from the Ivana deposit also included the "
previously unreported uranium mineral" that has been named "ivanaite" by the Blue Sky staff.

redox is apparent - elsewhere and on Ivana claims.
The coined Ivanaite was previously unreported.
That rings my bell... just how much of this stuff is in the Ivana deposit ?
Scrb and Wash = only grabs oxidized particulants.
vs
Milling rocks over 100 um
Here's more info on, Torbernite My new thoughts are... CO2 might have replaced O2
Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2·12H2O https://www.dakotamatrix.com/mineralpedia/8346/torbernite Here's BSK's layout of deposit
Upper and lower lenses
6000m x 750m
Since one section is wider i'll run with
6500m x 750m x 2.5 ore weight
=
12,187,500 tonnes Biggie ?
How much tonnage of green rock ?
= depends on depth
Deposit runs under - 30m deep
I'll use 10m deep
x
12,187,500 tonnes
= 121,875,000 tonnes
Oxidation is completely different than whole rock without oxidation
Whole rock would contain all the more hydrous U %
What's the thorium % Rhenium ? Page 44 - 2019 PEA An analysis of trace element geochemistry on 6,573 assay samples from 427 drill holes used for the Ivana initial mineral resource estimation (Thorson, et al., 2018) indicates that the Ivana uranium-vanadium mineralization shows strong positive correlations between uranium and Ag, As, Cd, Co, Mo, Re, S, Se, Th, Tl, and V. Current price of Rhenium is $2,489.00 per kg Deposit Layout Size
Sample #1 green rocks ( identify green rock near comp 1 label - just label )
once identified - numerous other green rocks stand out
Punching auger bore hole - easy breezy
Measuring Deposit minerals should've seen a lil more effort.
Not investment advice.
Just my own observations.
Keep in mind - upper deposit has limited tonnage compared to lower lense
Upper = wash and scrub
vs
Milling rocks over 100 um ( premise of post )
Note - spell checked before launching post.
Noticed my own written word - i v a n a i t e was changed to canite - Ai override ?
I erased and replaced with copy paste version.
Noticed the same issues with my other posts - several words changed.
Cheers...
