Separated Green Dots = surrounds Ivana
For years.... bsk ran with
inferred measurements. Why is it... 2024 PEA does not have a larger inferred resource category
including outlier zones surrounding Ivans ?
They were drilled.
Here is where chasing Carnotite vs just Uranium can make a diff stacking just U
tonnage vs Carnotite ( U. V )

The mineralogy of all secondary uranium (U+6) minerals in the oxide mineralization at Ivana has not been completely determined.
Effective December 31, 2024 ???
Shouldn't it be 2023 ?
Page 43 - reviewing 3 Uranium types
In a recent QEMSCAN analysis of samples
from the Ivana deposit (Creighton, 2018) carnotite was confirmed and lesser tyuyamunite, leibigite, and a previously unreported uranium mineral were detected.
Page 43
A vanadium mineral was described as micaceous and
tentatively identified as roscoelite [K(V+3, Al)2(AlSi3O10)(0H) 2] and the carbonaceous material was characterized as "non-woody" amorphous organic matter (Arce, 2017).
A more recent QEMSCAN study of the primary uranium mineralization at Ivana (Creighton, 2018)
recognized an anomalous coffinite-like uranium silicate, plus pyrite, but found no primary vanadium mineral. Coffinite has a formula of [U(SiO4)1-x(OH)4x] and usually occurs as [U(SiO4)0.9(OH)0.4] (Edwards, 2018a), but in the QEMSCAN samples tested from Ivana the “Si content is not consistent with the accepted composition of coffinite.” (Creighton, 2018).
The anomalous "coffinite" was found to be susceptible to alkaline carbonate leaching without oxidation, from which Edwards (2018b) concluded that the anomalous "coffinite' is likely a
hydrated U+6 silicate of possible U6+(SiO4)?(OH)? formula. Blue Sky Uranium has chosen to refer to the anomalous Ivana "coffinite" as β-coffinite (beta-coffinite) to simplify future discussions and avoid confusion
(G. Pensado, 2018, written commun.)

Takeaway ?
susceptable to leaching without oxidation
anomalous "coffinite" was found to be susceptible to alkaline carbonate leaching
Of course... it has several ( O ) bonds already attached.
Free oxidation - reducer.
Page 43 - primary + secondary
Primary mineral = Carnotite
Secondary Ivanaite / Coffinite U6+
What's the volume ratio of each ?
The Ivana primary mineralization appears to contain largely oxidized
uranium in a ratio of about 10:90 (U+4:U+6; Carlevaris, 2018b).
10% = Primary carnotite
90% = Secondary U6+

( sweet Jezzz..... ) labelled secondary, unknown, U6+, beta ?
Can't identify it.... can't measure it right ?
Could Ivana have 90% more resources.....?
How about outlier drills aside of Ivana = where's the Infereed ?
Is U6+ really that mysterious ?
The uranyl ion is an oxycation of uranium in the oxidation state +6,
with the chemical formula UO2+
2. It has a linear structure with short U–O bonds, indicative of the presence of multiple bonds between uranium and oxygen.

Perhaps we have just a ---------> wash and scrub resource size ?
With no outlier inferred ?
Ivanaite U6+ = 90% greater volume not factored ? ( lag on identifying = don't measure ? )
Former Post ?
Would COAM have some competition ?
USA, Canada, France ? Hey, i didn't even include Russia nor China as potential
candidates wanting Argentine Uranium. Can't discount the thought.... Trump repairs
ties with Russia or China.... things could change on a dime.
I'm thinking there's more going on with ( fertilizers, phosphates, potassium ) when applied
to Uranium markets. Importance source of, uranium.
When one thinks about it....
plumbago ( lead ) was once considered - organic.
Tie in organic uranium kinds ( wood, vegatation )
Conduder the relation of fertilizers most often present with uranium.
= could spell.... wel, i'll let others figure it out.
