GeologyAs far as hunting for anticlines / folding mentioned earlier - 2 points
1)If the unit is folded, it is often thicker at the fold axis. Therefore, if you have a porous layer that is "accepting" mineralization such as gold, one would want to find where it is the thickests.
2)If the fluids move up along one of these sedimentary units, they reach the top of unit (i.e. the anticline) and can't (or take longer to) excape due to less permeable units above and below - this could mean the fluids have more time to drop out metals from solution and result in higher grades.
I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts on the impact of the arsenopyrite that is mentioned to be associated with the mineralization. Any comments on whether any of the gold could be tied up with the arseno and either can't be fully extracted or their concentrate will be worth less, or processing costs will be higher.
Has anyone mentioned this before?
Just my two cents, still long on this one for awhile yet.
