I like metaphors, they relax me. Properly sewn together they inspire, unite and bring harmony to a chaotic world. Not all of us are intellectual giants Cosimo. I was at a meeting last week where we discussed a magnetic target that was discovered on a 1967 aero-magnetic survey. I don't know the survey specs but the altitude was about 1 mile up, the actual flight line data is no longer available. The two isoline anomaly is 200 x 300 metre in size, somewhat isolated on flat background and covered by two flight lines. The nearest cluster of similarly behaving anomalies is 25 miles away to the SE. The crystalline basement is 1.5 km down and the first bedrock is found at 150 metres. The target is a dead ringer for a type of ultra-mafic found at the bedrock interface 25 miles to the SE. The target area is swamp and that precludes (somewhat) ground geophysics. So I asked three leading geophysical experts the following question. If the target is in the basement would it be bigger or smaller on a high resolution survey of 100 metres altitude. i.e. would it be bigger, smaller or not there at all. I got three different answers. We are waiting for freeze up and then going ahead with a drill minus any magnetometer work. Science can hardly predict the weather as it happens. There is no reason to feel conceited. I have a feeling 100 years from now we will look at lawyers the same way we now look at priests in the middle ages. peace
