SOMETHING DIFFERENT First is was, MisTango, then, Tusk....
Drilling strikeouts -
Most juniors seek - magnetic anomalies.
Yet... most successful juniors and producers in Quebec, finf gold in the greenstone.
Now... let's ask the question -
Should the next junior focus on magnetic anomalies or ?
Seek out the exact opposite and hone in on - nonmagnetic anonalies ?
GOLD IS = NONMAGNETIC.
So why seek out magnetic signatures ?
Perhaps seeking out the electrical resistivities as per -
greenstone and gold would fair better.
If one studies silicate metal ore bodies and their ionic forms -
such as, nickel or iron, those are magnetic.
It can also become - tricky - when studying silicates because it does mentiuon silicates can be paramagnetic but with no identity to what type of silicate.
If we are to believe hot geothermal fluids spawned a metal depoist,
Then, depending on the ( metal mineral ) the silicate identifier should follow suit.
Meaning - if one is seeking nickel and its magnetic -then, one would seek out magnetic anomalies.
If one is seeking gold and a silicate greenstone - then,
One should be seeking a non magntic anomaly.
Just an opinion, nothing more nothing less.
Would be nice to see Snow's field crew check a few nonmagnetic outcrops.
My bets says.. the gold ppm could be far higher.
And... if this opposite theory works, why not document the electrical resistivty of these areas
for future reference.
Hate ot see another junior strike out - focusing on magnetic anomalies vs non magnetic anomalies which could very well pertain to - greenstone gold.
.
Cheers....
