You guys migh want to know JP just posted yesterday on New Blue Ribbon Thread ( you might now want to compare the Metals PR of NBL:VSE with Ashton last week as the metals are poping up all over! ) Thank and best, I will follow closely ...metals on the Diamond Claims...I LUV IT! RE techstocks.com techstocks.com siliconinvestor.com Chucka-Found a Pipe- But no Diamonds! auctionbuy.com xts.net xts.net xts.net and thor.prohosting.com a hole in the ground above that is WMA8 and a members below that we have Placers at: thor.prohosting.com OUR Dolomite and LIMESTONES: ( See Birch Mountain for Implication Modelling of These Sedimentary Rocks) thor.prohosting.com and thor.prohosting.com I post old info on Model at BM thread yesterday: All elements of - the Prairie Gold model are (probably) present in Athabasca. The Prairie Gold model guides our search for a gold deposit in this area. It explains how gold and other metals were transported by low-temperature fluids in the Western Canadian Sedinientaiy Basin (WCSH) andwere deposited in host rocks in Athabasca. There are five I critical elements of the Prairie Gold model: a brine solution source rocks; a plumbing system; a precipitation mechanism; and time. All elements of the Prairie Gold model are ~~~present in Athabasca. The solution capable of carrying gold is an oxidized chloride-rich brine generated as the residual saline solution remaining after salt deposition during Early mid Middle Devonian times. In addition, chloride-rich brine is generated when meteoric water enters from the surface, flows through the sedimentary rock and dissolyFs the deposits of salt. The source rocks must contain some gold and precious metals and be sufficiently porous and penneable to allow the brine to circulate. In Athabasca, the source rocks are fractured Precambrian basement wliicb extend along the eastern margin of the WCSB. The plumbing system by which the metal-bearing solutions flow to the site of deposition is a combination of structural and stratigraphic fluid conduits including permeable aquifers, faults, fractures and solution collapse features. The structural history of the eastern part of the Peace River Arch is an integral part of the Prairie Gold model in Athabasca. Over geological time, structural adjustment of the Peace River Arch fractured the sedimentaiy racks and provided conduits for transporting metal-bearing solutions. The precipitation mechanism for removing gold and precious metal from solution is reduction of the oxidized, chloride-rich brine by reaction with either sulphides or organic material. It takes time for these solutions to transport a sufficient quantity of gokt In northeastern Alberta, gold and precious metal transport and deposition has occurred for tens to hundreds of millions of years. Applying the Prairie (laid model, we believe an ore body in Athabasca will be discovered in a large volume of fractured, altered limestone that contains gold and precious metals with minor amounts of copper, zinc and other metals. The location of such an ore body will be controlled by stratigraphic features and will reflect the distribution of both permeability and precipitation mechanisms, likely related to solution collapse features. The Bitumount Basin meets this description and will be the focus of our exploration program. ...areas that had the ability to capture metals. WHERE ELSE WOULD THE PRAIRIE GOLD MODEL ~~~Probably~~~APPLY? "the first area is Dawson Bay in Manitoba, where Birch Mountain has acquired a Special Exploration Permit covering 530,000 hectres. New occurances of microdisseminated gold and polymetallic minerals were discovered here in 1996 by the GSC and Manitoba Energy and Mines," says etc it went on ...on exploration facets... Chucka
