For a description by the CEO & Geo of Tudor Gold in regard of the super cells as he calls them., I have found no explanation of their compositional substance.
The geological term that does describe what he is referring to is not used.
The correct terminology was briefly mentioned in the overall synthesis of the property in a report before Tudor came into it. It was never referred to as a super cell or noted for any significance at the time.
There has been some confusion between porphyry style mineralization throughout the area and the dominant system of emplacement associated with the GS sup cells.
Hydrothermal ore emplacement dominates the formation of the super cells as the company CEO likes to call them.
Here you have the interaction of energy, high heat, fluid Flow, pressure, deformation and permeability.
The tectonofluid interaction associated with the hydrothermal mineralization by way of passage or conduit accumulating in entrapment pockets are associated with shears from the main fault line running through the greater TC vicinity.
The proper description and name given these so-called super cells are in actual geotechnical terms known as primary dispersion halos. There is nothing new about them and they pose little significance as tiny as those discovered in the GS domain.
They are not disseminated throughout a porphyry but are merely catch basins for hydrothermal mineral emplacements liquidated under high heat and great pressure running off a main conduit feeder.
There are three points I must make here:
1 - Halo's of this structure can range in size depending on the extent of the shear zone they are contained within.
2- The Halo's or SC's found here are tiny with at best, a third of an ounce of gold per ton in one assay to less than a few grams per ton on average within drill returns generally no larger than a parking space.
3- VP Donnely is absolutely right in announcing that more drilling is needed in light of the 2024 drill results without divulging the exact reason why and that the PEA will be delayed.
In conclusion: A great deal more drilling will need to be done as these 4 discovered SC's are only tiny shear pockets or halo's and are not of a mineralized emplacement on a large scale throughout within the zone bearing high and semi high grade ore.
It would take hundreds of these mini shear entrapments unlike a mineralized porphyry to make up a viably economic resource.
Hence the PEA delay to drill for more of them no doubt and another year of buying time before having to face the music of reality here. A low grade open pit at best and a tough sell to any major within the next decade.
The whole concept it would appear in that renaming these halos as super cells is maybe little more than a promotion stunt by a fast talker delivering a pitch to the easily convinced investor to prop up the share price a little.
Many not too well informed have fallen for the hype and fantastic sounding super cell invention that under technical terms is nothing new under the sun.
GEO KK stumbled upon the Brucejack as he says.
He didn't find it by means of geo scientific expertise.
There is a great deal of data available that he has missed and overlooked here that he won't just stumble across.
Where he has been drilling and where he wants to keep on drilling does shed considerable light on that.
Too bad though. He could use the assistance from a true geo scientist to point him to it, basing on all the data available .
They won't be on it next year sticking to the current plan.
The majors have a large list of new discoveries to digest and Tudor gold isn't going to be on it while they remain headed in their current direction.
