SPANISH FILES - PART 2Page 61 El basamento del depsito esta paleo-meteorizado, conformado por un regolito
rico en xidos de hierro, minerales arcillosos y componentes de origen orgnico, que
actan como agentes reductores, lo que constituye un sistema redox. Este sitio tiene
porosidad y permeabilidad, por donde circulan corrientes de agua subterrneas con U-V,
donde se ve favorecida la precipitacin de minerales de uranio.
Los intervalos mineralizados en el basamento representan posiciones en las que
la interfase salmuera-agua dulce se mantuvo estable durante perodos de tiempo
suficientes para que ocurriera una mineralizacin significativa, proceso que actualmente
podra seguir operando.
Google Translate ( spanish to english ) + underground water currents - brine / freshwater
+ remain stable for significant mineralization to occur.
+ clay minerals
= Ivana U shape is tail of Picos Salar
= If tail has clays and is mineralized even with water currents
= What would Picos + Indio salar brines and silts, clays offer ?
The basement of the deposit is paleo-weathered, made up of a regolith rich in iron oxides, clay minerals and components of organic origin, which They act as reducing agents, which constitutes a redox system. This site has porosity and permeability, through which underground water currents circulate with U-V, where the precipitation of uranium minerals is favored. The mineralized intervals in the basement represent positions in which the brine-freshwater interface remained stable over periods of time sufficient for significant mineralization to occur, a process that is currently could continue operating.
Page 53 4 types of uranium
vs
other reports identified 5 types of uranium
San Martin aside of Ivana =
8 copper species https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54080984942_a9ebfdd5dd_c.jpg Image # 4 ( page 53 ) Maria target Weeksita / Haiweetia = 0.30%
Cu + O 0.40% oddly these 2 species on pg 53 don't show a copper with in formula ( misidentified ? )
if copper is present along with vanadium and uranium
could Ivana ores moreso match Mendoza style deposits....u, v, cu ?
Where's Maria Target ? 1 km sw of Ivana extension aside of sw drills ( part of Ivana in the granites )
Yeah... another 1 km
Page 25 Spanish report Page 53 offers 100% mineral weight 0.3% copper weight --------> would be 0.3% cu percent.
it also show 0.4% ( O )
could there be 2 kinds of copper ?
solid solution locked in silicates and an oxide metal ?
Before answering too quickly.... Carnotite has a formula of.....
K2(UO2)2(VO4)2·3H2O Lots of water content
Hence.... other minerals could manifest same way ( metal oxide + solution in silicate )
This Spanish Report was completed in 2023
Prior to 2024 PEA
Milling and Processing Report - should've been included in 2024 PEA
Most all specimens in Spanish report are rocks, uranium bound with in
far larger than PEA under 100 um.
Knowing rock content tonnage - 6500m x 750m x 30m x 2.1 ore weight
=307,125,000 t vs
PEA washing / scrubbing loose carnotite
vs
PEA stock piled rocks
If Ivana has a current wash / Scub uranium value of 17.5 million tonnes
What would the uranium value be if rocks were factored ?
More than our African peer ?
One more comment on page 25 ( Ivana + Maria ) Ivana is granites
Maria is granites
Page 24 shows image C, F basement rocks ( C is at surface )
green flecks, yellow staining Both hardrock ( remember igneous = Granite )
Maria's hardrock seen on page 25
runs right into Ivana's deposit Chances are.... Picos Salar tail ( Ivana's U shape ) cut through basement
= Basement would host uranium
= Solid rock not exposed to water or acids would have no redox
= increases odds higher grade ores vs broken rock exposed to water creating oxide residue
