>>Jesse - this mobile processing plant for Marum sounds like quite an optimistic plan for the property in general and if it can be set up inside a warehouse near the site, I expect it would be a suitable way to initially treat a sample of whatever volcanistics is found to get a concentrate.
I would think that we would want to find some kimberlitic material, pyropes, eglotitic stones, G10s, chromites, etc, in the drill cores first that would justify setting up the mobile processing plant. Just trying to inject my engineering common sense approach to the logistics of this.<<
Se bueno commentarios, Jimsy!
And again, rather than my erroneous response, I asked the chief as to his comments. Here's prez Rick Boulay's response:
=========================
What a great question. Thanks for passing it on to me for reply. The questioner is absolutely right that some justification is required to go to the next step. Here it is. About one meter above the P-1 Sequence described in the nr, there are dark green volcanic pyroclastic ashes that were encountered in the March 1998 drill program. These contain an entire suite of kimberlite indicators, including some which are very specific to kimberlite and nothing else, for example, ilmenites with perovskite reaction rims. These form only in ascending kimberlite magmas. Also, the geochemistry of the area is such that stream samples taken above the project P-1 sequence are relatively sterile while stream samples taken below the P-1 elevaton are stuffed full of indicators, volcanic glasses, and high-chrome garnets. We consider that we already have more than sufficient justification for proceeding to much larger samples. Regards, Rick Boulay
