Aye George, it takes a lot these tough days to make the market notice in this sector for chure! Yet there is some extremely positive info in MMU's NewsRelease today, also for chure!A study of archived oil well cuttings at the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board Core Research Centre in Calgary confirms the presence of sulphide minerals in several regionally distributed wells at the exact stratigraphic level defined by the International Tower Hill/Marum drill program in February, 1999. The mineralization is again confirmed as being regional and has an estimated vertical or stratigraphic range of up to 200 metres, extending over an area measuring 160Km by 60Km. A regional satellite and air-photo structural study has been completed and has successfully isolated a number of large-scale expansion fault systems for detailed exploration. Both vertical pipe-like and horizontal stratigraphic targets have been identified along these faults using data stacking techniques. ..Only a few thin sections have as yet been preparedOne rock type consists of perfectly preserved dark-green igneous rock, totally unaltered, which, based on grain size, represents a sub-volcanic feeder pipe crystallization environment . The dominant minerals identified so far in the rock are pyroxenes. The rock is tentatively identified as gabbro or pyroxenite, contains abundant chromite and is considered to be a possible diamond carrier magma. A second, equally significant, rock type is identified as volcanic sandstone or, alternatively, sandy tuff . This rock consists of medium-grained angular quartz and feldspar crystals set in an unusual matrix. The sandy tuff contains clumps of micaceous minerals and chromites. The composition and texture of the sandy tuff is considered to be consistent with a diamond carrier magma origin , although being formed by volcanic ejection into air or water it would show dilution of the primary igneous rock composition. magma " [described as dark-green igneous rock, aka kimberlitic] ;).victoryventures.com )an estimated vertical or stratigraphic range of up to 200 metres, extending over an area measuring 160Km by 60Km. )... in a geologically favourable environment (shallow OB, all-weather access, ammicable gov't, and so on) meaning cheap extraction, etc etc.
