Bullboard - Stock Discussion Forum Nickel Creek Platinum Corp T.NCP

Alternate Symbol(s):  NCPCF

Nickel Creek Platinum Corp. is a Canada-based mining exploration and development company. The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of nickel and platinum group metals (PGM) mineral properties in North America. Its flagship asset is its 100%-owned nickel-copper PGM project, located in the Yukon Territory, Canada (Nickel Shaw Project). The project is in the... see more

YUKON'S HIDDEN GEM

INFERRED
- 2012 ( 446 million tonnes ) ( they had to known something )
- 2015 ( 846 million tonnes ) 700+ holes ( relogging, reassaying, more drilling, digitizing )

Dividing the drill intercepts.
Upper hole VS Lower Hole.
Separating geologies.

Next up.... 
March 1, 2017 - Practical Entitlement.
https://www.nickelcreekplatinum.com/investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2017/Wellgreen-Platinum-Announces-Results-of-Metallurgical-Testwork/default.aspx
Rears it's head.
Up to 95% loss ( dependent on recoveries )

4 months later...
June 26, 2017
https://www.nickelcreekplatinum.com/investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2017/Wellgreen-Platinum-Announces-Updated-Resource-Estimate/default.aspx
86% of inferred resource is lost.
Real reason ?
Was it market conditions = That wouldn't affect tonnage in the ground.
Was it operating costs = That doesn't affect tonnage in ground. 
Could it be = additional metallurgical testwork
YES.

Which is highly likely,
A 2012 inferred resource of, 446 million tonnes increasing to,
846 million tonnes ( with all the work reassayinh, relogging, lots more drilling )
Is still there.

Could it be ?
Course Grind was the causative of the reduction of inferred resources
from 846 million tonnes down to lil over 100 million tonnes ?

Extraction chosen...
Was bias with, silicates, solid solution, carbonates, crystalines ?
Only preferring sulphides ?

You decide.

Could the 846 million tonnes
only be assigned to - East going West ?
Versus.... This new northern deposit that comes down into main mine ?
Could the northern zone coming into mine area ( 2015 )
Host all the more resources ?
That would depend on which junior presents which - pit zone.
There's several pit zones.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many of Wellgreen assays saw - partial digestion.
Other nickel juniors perform - full digestion.
Yes.... there's a difference.

Just as there is with...
Using different acid methods.

2012 assaying used FUSION ( strong acid )
This method provides superb results.

Which brings this subject round to,
Sulphide metallic - Solid Solution - Carbonate

2012 assay tests reveals
2 nickel categories.
2 diff grades.

One is clearly marked - Sulphide metallic ( easy mineral to extract )
Other is most likely ( solid solution, carbonate )
This needs further findings.
Hudson report reveals very high grade minerals, in carbonates.
Note - all metals including plats are also known to come in, carbonates.

2 Nickels...
Sheds more light on former year class assaying grades that were 0.60%  
vs   the 0.26% present grades.

Besdies the 2 different nickel charts in, yellow.
Please say you noticed the dark orange box ?


Which brings the subject round to, Titanium, in the Peridotites.
Other Titanium grades revealed in 2012 Tech run as high as, 0.80+%

CNC, has as Chromium credit.
After finished concentrate is produced.
The chromiun grade is only 3%

Wellgreen's Titanium in Peridotites has a mean average of,
0.29%  better than our present nickel grades.

Titanium = $6 per Kg = $13.20 lb
Better than current nickel prices

Hypothetical Inferred
Though 846 million tonnes was once pressed.
I'll use 2012 stats = 486 million tonnes
Top chart ( 2015 PEA )
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53294034400_a645049e8f_c.jpg


486,000,000 million tonnes
x 0.29%  Ti
= 1,409,400 titanium tonnes
x 1000 kg conversion
=
1,409,400,000 kg's
x $ 6  kg
=
$8,456,400,000  billion usd

Our special X extraction, certainly has the X factor going on.
Can't handle, solid solution, silicates, crystalines.


There's still the carbonate mineral factor.
Two kinds of, minerals.

What form is Titanium ?
Titanium is nonmagnetic
Titanium is a crystaline
We have Titanium in the silicates whereas, extraction can't handle, crystalines.
lol


Niether can this special X extraction handle the minerals in magnetites ( press )
Did they not perform a half a/s/s bench test that determined upto
40% of the PGM's tagged along with magnetites ?
lol

SUM ?
- 846 million tonnes inferred
- 86% reduction in inferred ( strongly points to wrong extraction )
- Course grind in extraction - former studies used fine grind - good results.
- 2 nickels ( maybe only sulphide is accounted for...  ( upper / lower intercepts )
- Carbonate minerals ( talc and carbon limes discarded first )

- Much of our assaying saw 1/2 digestion ( carb vs sulphide metallic comes to mind )
- Titanium should be in the mix - cnc has their chromium
- Silicate mineral once fine ground and acid introduced = mineral bonds with acid
   not seeing this in met studies - it's like they're running raw ore extractions
   even not dealing with the irons and magnetite ( firstly, or roasting ) such would
   alter recoveries
- Magnetite + Iron  should be in the mix - other juniors include it. ( adds billions )
- Mega river near West deposit could provide endless power
- Power to run furnaces that refine the metal = command big bucks per tonne
- Based on, 2012, 2015, 2023 - i'm seeing several deposits.
  Upper, Lower, east to west, coming from north.
  Ore geology has also segragated the ores into diff deposits.
  It's how i'm reading the Wellgreen.

One of my favorite, posts.
Wellgreen is worth a mint.
Own opinion...
Not investment advice.
I seek stocks that are ripe for buyouts.
I'm bias... seeking Large player monies, not small investors.

I figure... Wellgreen is a superb project
Just not assembled, measured, assayed, met studied properly.
Other metals are there, but are not recognized.


Cheers...
