Sheesh, I thought we killed off SVB years ago. In '96 I wrote a DFR geophysics memo which stated "no significant Tasiuak, no sulfur source, therefore, no orebodies" at Harp Lake (now called South Voisey Bay).
Sheesh, the Harp Lake Anorthosite Complex is on the wrong side of the Prot-Archean suture--only "remobilized" "pots-n-pans" (as our pal Soup useta say) mineralization occur along fault zones. Kinda similar to that Nuinsco Lac Rocher-PQ "non-discovery" a while back.
Crebsy is interested but still skeptical about the SVB hype--maybe Falco and Harvey will prove me wrong this time.
Bad geology always trumps good geophysics (and/or great PR with the Innu). I always told my Canadian, Australian, and South African clients that SVB never had much ore potential, even when in '97 Tony found Leopard textures in the SVB gabbros--when Bob Bishop liked to creamed his pants about those obscure petrological olivine-plag textures, heh-heh.
Good Luck & Best Regards, T.

P.S. For a delicious American Pinot Noir, Mr. King, try a Chalone Vineyards 1996--less than $35-US at good wine stores here. It won bigtime at our neighborhood Pinot Noir tastings. |
