WONDERFUL CORE SPECIMEN -
I would GUESS... ( Al ) = Alkin ?
But.... i thought we never drilled Alkin yet ?
Only the Glade trend - right ?
or did they... lol
Nickel written right on the core.
HERE'S ANOTHER -
I like seeing that
silvery metallic. Why ?
I reviewed so many " other peers " and nickel rock specimens online...
And each time nickel is shown - is that dull grey, or silvery grey, or blue or green hydroixide.
I went through numerous older photos of - BMK's cores...
Some are labelled, just pyrite.
But... they have that dull silver tone that resembles - nickel.
Here's a good BMK example - brght and dark grey minerals ....
And of course... lots of blue.
What i fele may be an issue is... they only assayed for , gold, in th beginning.
And... later on as one read the press releases, seems they decided ot chekcofr other minerals.
Heck... one of the latest press releases on, Alwyn...
I don't think i saw who assayed the cores ?
( lab ) maybe i mised it.. .but pretty sure i read the entire press without seeing who assayed.
Here's another with the greys....
Keep in mind... nickel can hide in several kinds of - ites.
Even arseopyrites.
Here's onw with Arsenopyrite - as mentioned, nickel loves oto hide in the arseo's.
Herer's an interesting core with silvery metallics -
I'd love BMK to backtrack... retest several -green and blue cores for -
Nickel sulphides and ...
nickel sulphide turned hydroixide. Here's a beautiful photo of - sulphides...
Lot's of green and blues...
Is there Nickel ?
Or did that wee lil - metal detector - miss it in a sulphide or hydroxide or hidden in a pyrite ?
here's another good exmaple -
Lots of dull grey metallics..... sorry, but i can't help but think of, portential, nickel.
Geo - too quick to label everything - simply pyrite ?
Who knows.
Now... i now there's Aluminum in thier geology... but...
As mentioned, some nickel species can hide in aluminum -
And... were real close to sudbury...
Mega Greys in this photo -
And.... i did provide examples in a previous post that nickel can also present itself as,
yellow or golden hue pyrites... not trying to be difficult... but like i said, in their early days,
they only assayed for gold...
Here's a good rock specimen from - BMK -
One can foxus on the - gold flake - or.... wonder what type of pyrite is atop the rock.
See... how esily it can be missed - if only focusing on the gold.
All that silvery pyrite - what kind is it ?
And... more importantly... could it have contributed to the - aqua green staining ?
Niclkel bleeding from the pyrites into the rock ?
There's one more good example - green specimen...
With considerable dull metallic specks litered throughout.
Oh well... guess i had close that window out.
But you get the idea.

I really liked this rundown on,
SPJ Project - report. I never saw this report before.
Chalked full of good info.
GOOD READ -
https://www.macdonaldmines.com/spj-property/ So... i thought we were suppose to see news on, Friday ?
Wonder what's going on ?
Have they changedthier mind ?
Are they still drilling ?
Will we ever see a resource calculation ?
Would they ever consider mining the Scadd ?
Will they merge with Inventus to become the heavy weights east of, Sudbury ?
Tease.
Cheers....
