hi Ancil. I don't intend on staying ...no meat here...........
LAKE ELSINORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 1998--Gordon House, P.GEO., reported on his pre-feasibility work on two of the 1788 properties Medinah Energy Inc. recently purchased near Santiago Chile.
this is a misuse of words. Pre-feasibility is a prelude to development. What he is doing is a geological survey
His work concentrated mainly on the Alto De Lepangue property, formerly the La Fortuna De Lampa Mine which produced ore averaging 59 grams of gold and 104.1 grams of silver per ton over an eight year period commencing in 1946. Old mines and quartz veins are abundant in the Alto De Lepangue area and carry good values of gold and silver.
and carry good values of gold and silver
Most depleted deposits do....carry "good" values, but no assaying has been done to substantiate "anything"?
On the southwest side of the plateau, adjacent to the Cerro Negro peak, an area of massive, quartz cemented, breccia was bulldozer trenched. Sufficient exposure was made to confirm the outcrop as a classic hydrothermal, diatreme breccia with rounded and altered clasts of volcanic rock cemented by a matrix of crystalline quartz and sulfide minerals. Samples taken contain pyrite, chalcopyrite and other sulfides.
The samples taken contain pyrite and chalcoprite. Chalcopyrite is synonomys with copper/gold or copper/silver formations. Copper is the primary ingredient and gold or silver appear as "impurities". Chalcopyrite in its pure form can contain approximately 34% copper
There is abundant malachite, azurite and iron oxide in surface rocks. The soils in the area are anomalous in gold, silver, copper, lead and molybdenum and samples of the breccia and wall rock showed anomalous values in gold, copper, silver, zinc and molybdenum. The breccia zone has the potential to host a porphyry style copper gold deposit.
descriptive statements that describe the surrounding geology! Chile is known for porphry copper/gold deposits. This geology insinuates "the possibility" of a deposit. There is nothing HUGE about it. It could as easily be a DUD!!
Mr. House also focused on Las Dos Marias stockworks property which is reached from the Alto De Lipangue. Mr. House corroborated the previous findings of Mining Engineer Paul Jones and Dr. of Mining Law, Sr. Juan Jose Quijano, that the potential exists for a quartz stockworks type gold deposit.
more descriptive "guesses", if its not drilled it's a guess!!
Mineralization occurs as a series of subparallel mantos or shear zones carrying brecciated quartz vein material and abundant alteration. Samples assayed 1.8 and 34 grams per ton of gold. The mantos appear to be 2 to 4 meters thick and there is much evidence of malachite and azurite.
samples are "grab". A grab sample is not reflective of the overall property, in fact it is used as an indicator only
The dips and strikes of the mantos on each side of the Quebrada Durazna, indicate a major structural break or control. The extensive fracturing, veining and manto structures which contain gold, silver, copper, molybdenum and zinc mineralization are likely related to the breccia/ porphyry zone of the Alto De Lipangue and are of considerable significance.
possibly, but drilling is the only way to find out. The term considerable significance relates to this structure. The structure initself may be "uneconomically because of size
