TOTAL DIGESTIONTotal Digestion = Total mineral content
Versus partial acid digest and remaining goes off to fire assay.
Total mineral content
Hydroxides, Chlorides, Sulphides, Fluroides, Carbonates, Oxides
Wellgreen's Skarn ( carbonates ) are mineralized.
Came across it in, older report speaking about the UG mine whereas,
HudBay didn't think the carbonates were mineralized and was surprized
the ore body went much further in depth below the ug mine.
supergene, hypogene copper In both the in situ and exotic supergene copper mineralization, chrysocolla is the dominant supergene copper-bearing mineral, followed by pseudomalachite with minor amount of copper wad. Chrysocolla and pseudomalachite show distinct textural features. Africa's supergene and hypogene copper
Yukon's prized Wellgreen
Yes.... Yukon has a variety of, copper.
Which begs.... are our copper grades only oxide ?
Versus.... total copper content ?
All copper miners factor -
total - mineral percentages. What may appear as surface green sulphides could also be,
chloride copper , fluroide copper, or.... carb copper = malachite, chalcocite, azurite etc....

If it's not Indo volcanoes going off, it's African floods and....
