been busy, here is some interesting stuff. Dr Hugh Abercrombie had a Nevada Paper handout of 20 + pages with his one page text cover that was VERY interesting on the similar nature of the Nevada Cortez and Carlin Trends as ( I related to the Map in Alberta that I drew from the fault map on the screen demonstration of the Pods of Pt and AU that SEMs had but at several places at the Athabasca Region of BM Claims ) relating to this Prairie Gold Model Theorizer, one line question at the start by Dr Abercrombie:
"So Says...Dr Huge Abercrombie at the BM Meeting:( This is the best Info)So Far!
Let me begin with a rhetorical question...
What if there exisited a type of gold-PGM (plattnum group metals) deposit that did for PGM's what Nevada has done for gold?
Currently, Nevada produces more gold than Canada. I would like to explore the possibility that Prairie-type deposits under exploration on our Athabasca property in northeastern Alberta represent a previously unknown type of sediment-hosted deposit closely related to non-igneous associated, unconformity related, sediment-hosted gold deposits In Nevada.
Over the past year, we have come to recognize that the Prairie Gold model developed by Birch Mountain is indeed a low temperature variant of this important class of sediment-hosted precious metal deposits. This recognition has primarily been driven by our detailed examination of cores obtained from oil sands operator Syncrude and structural mapping using core-based Information combined with results of our 1997 high resolution aeromag survey.
Preltminaiy geochemical indications of alteration which we recognized over a year ago have now been extended such that we can recognize characteiistlc alteration types including decarbonation, desulfidation, sideritlzation, haritization and, locally, silicificatlon In areas of structural disturbance directly overlying basement faults. We can now show that the ore grade' platinum and gold from Syncnade drill hole AE/l1-7-96-10W4 (2.2-5 g/Tplatmuxn and 0.2 g/Tgold over a 1.6 rn interval from 72.0-73.6 in depth) occurs within cbaractexistically altered Devonian limestone within 1 kilometre of a basement structure which coincides with an ~alteration fairway' at the top of the Devonian.
I would like to draw your attention to the attached paper. "Application of mineral deposits models in exploration: a case study of sediment-hosted gold deposits, Great Basin, western United States" by Sam Adams and Borden Putnam. This paper is amazing to read when you keep In mind what we have been attempting to do In applying the Prairie Gold model in Athabasca and Manitoba. Recognition by Adams and Putnam of the role of deep crustal structures and unconformities as pathways for ore-forming solutions parallels directly what we see in Athabasca. Furthermore, they show that a number of unconformity-related, sediment-hosted gold deposits In Nevada are not associated with any known volcanic or plutonic heat sources.
Birch Mountain continues to use the Prairie Gold model as a guide to Its exploration for large-tonnage sediment-hosted gold-POM deposits. We currently are in the process of 1denti~'ing drill targets to test sediment-hosted platinum and gold targets in Athabasca. Plans for drilling are expected to be announced once financing activities currently underway have been successfully completed. "
From the Huge Abercrombie REPORT:

Status is all being worked on as we speak, or in my case not speaking of specifics as engineering is being double checked by Engineering Experts. BTW, I was wrong here on the fact that Tailings Piles were source areas for BM, not so; the Oil Sands Operators have rights to the Tailings, we have the several hundered feet deep layer under ( that Doug Rowe says has the few hundered drill hoels and cores so storred by the Oil Sands Operators that had to by nature go PAST the 5 meters of Oil Sands and tesat plug the bottom as a finish INTO the LIMESTINE layer) the Oil Sands Caps with from 5 to 10 meters of GOOD CORES to contractually draw upon with our resultant few dozens of beeds that were tested out during the non reproducability period that we all await for BM to finish off with now. Good going...just about quater ( 90 days or a flip of a Game Coin?) a sprint to the line...could be months....who knows- I wish I was listening to Mister Spock in that now old StaR TreK Movie- saying if months were like days; and days were like hours! But I was not. If cores were like beads and BEADS were like DORE! That's the ticket...I actually told ( OK - maybe asked) them at the Q & A to melt all their beads and show the Dam Bar on the entrance Page of Their WEBSITE. More on Pilot Bench TEST Plant( after Exploration Phase ) and me asking about Bulk Trucksloads next post. Much MORE.
