Have a look - can you describe this core specimen ?
Will you be guided by a - grease pencil in dark orange ?
Cores exterior - shallow green coloration - interior moreso bluish.
Now... let's look at this same core photo a little bit more closer....
- Faded blurred pixalation in background
- Ruler covering bright silvery metallics
- Lots going on in this photo -
But... if told, pyrites - just run with it - right ?
Or.. .should they have assayed for more minerals other than - gold ?
Did you know....
Pentlandite (
nickel ) can occur in - goldish and silvery pyrite trextures and colors ?
It can.... and does.

Palladium One - Focus on the - dark silvery coloration - pentlandite.
https://www.mining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Palladium-One-reports-successful-discoveries-at-Tyko-project-in-Ontario.jpg Now... her'es another junior that has, massive sulphides - chalcopyrite.
What i want ot point out here is....
Exterior blue coloration.
Interior - green.
So.. why is BMK's cores in photo above - green exterior and blue interior ?
Exact opposite - could it be the heat from the turning drill rods ?
Now.... this is how i see the same photo at top of written - post - blurred silvery metallics ( distant in photo )
- ruler covering the other silvery metallics ( why hide it or cover it up ? )
- blebs of red, most likely hematite.
- black sulphides with heavy blues seeping out.
- darker silvery color blebs with in the - orange grease pencil circle.
- i now know, pentlandite ( nickel ) comes in yellowish and silvery pyrite textures.
- and... nickel hydroxide can also turn blue in a hydride form...
- it may suggest online that nickel - won't react - to chlorides... but it turns out, it does...
- nickel chloride 2 -
- and if sulphide... coming into contact with just weater... can turn to a blue - hydride.
HERE'S TH SAME - BMK - PHOTO -
How i see the core.... in link below.
I WILL SAY....
In their early drilling days... .they had significant green and blue cores.
With what was said to be - pyrite.
But..... being so close to - SUDBURY - ya think they'd have checked for - Nickel and copper.

Lots of shares traded again today...
Interesting.
