Up hill or down hill ?

Interesting comment Ben has made in that there are some that think that a main or another ore body might be South/West of where they are drilling now.  That might be very possible from my point of view.

 

My reasoning is simple.....gravity.  All streams, rivers, swamps etc. drain to the north east in Northern Sask. and eventually into the Hudson Bay.  These flow down hill.   All known glaciers, water movements .....downhill...... not up.  That would give any glaciation in that area a movement from SW to NE...simple gravity.... if we're going with glacier theory.  The source then would be SW of where the drills are and still well withing AMW's claim area for the huge boulder field source.  For the opposite to happen water and ice would have to travel uphill, an unknown phenomenon.

If there was a huge and sudden flood surge;  water might temporarily change that direction but eventually it would resume its NE drainage.

 

Of course it is always possible that the earth has at one time switched it's magnetic poles and may perhaps have been rotating on it side, as some have theorized, but for present SW to NE seems the most logical.

 

Remember too that they suspect several ore bodies, so anything is possible now in this very early stages of exploration.  For sure there is a lot of U content in that area and they have hit , perhaps accidentally,  one upstream of the boulder field!    Or....... there is another boulder field under the northern part of  lake itself that is harder to find because of the water cover; this maybe from their present find?  Food for thought anyway!

Bring on the new U and gold assays !!

I think there may have been some quotes taken out of context there. AMW/FIS did detailed ice-direction studies on the glacial sediments in the area and the paleo ice direction was very clearly determied to be from ENE towards the WSW. There was likely a secondary transport involved after the fact.  It's no coincidence IMO that the mineralization they are getting is precisely where they ...more

Thank you Tinmann!  You are very correct! GLTA

So that would mean that you should invest in other explores to the west/sw  
Comment by Coffinite on Mar 28, 2013 9:06pm
NO! It means that the source of the boulders is either on the Alpha-Fission PLS property, or it is further to the northeast on the Nexgen property!

Or purepoint ;-) >
Comment by Coffinite on Mar 28, 2013 9:47pm
Boulders aren't too likely to be sourced from Purepoint's 22.5% owned property as it's covered by Athabasca sandstone for the most part.  The boulders came from an area where there is no sandstone cover.

Fair enough...either way should be an interesting April of drill results!>
