Mr Heights...I think it this way,
Current Carnotite PEA wash and scrub = facilitates better economics.
Allows
quick processing of loose sand ores with the perks of - upgrading grades.
Makes sense and i agree.
Yet, loose rocks mineralized with uranium also exit.
And... other minerals such as copper, tellurium, tungsten are in close proximity.
Such require additional work to know what the economics would run.
Carnotite is an oxide residue 1/2 the grade
Versus hardrock is most often far higher grade.
Loose Hardrock and Basement Hardrock requires -----> milling and processing studies
Such should've been in 2024 pea
Then there's basement rock tying in surrounding zones of, Ivana.
Spanish report makes mention of Maria's hardrock - 1 km sw of Ivana.
And.... salars - silts, clays and brines.
Drilling loose sands is ideal for chasing Carnotite.
Ivana has 3 mineralized lenses and vp in video mentions Ivana is mineralized to 25m depth.
If one pulls forward the Sask Research Council images one will see the uranium in
second image is not a carnotite rather metal oxide.
Since the metal oxide is closest to basement one has to wonder if....
metal oxide uranium has loberated from the basement granite and without any lime or
potassic acid - did it remain in metal oxide form ?
Lower Left Image
2 ore classes of ore
Comp 1 & 2
Would it not be more accurate saying....
Comp 1 is oxidized
Comp 2 metal oxide
Mr Heights,
I wouldn't be invested in BSK if i didn't like the Amarillo.
I think it's a great project.
Needs a few more details to bring forth max value for investors.
More details on loose rock, basement rock, salars -----> prior to any JV.
I can't dismiss a percussion drill tapping out @ 30m or less hitting basement rock
and partially chewing up the basement rock which might explain the comp 2 style ores.
Third lense - oxide.
Not oxidized.
Cheers...
