The Feldspar in my Weathering chapter (pg 154 Geology and the Environment-Trent & Pipkin) subsection HYDROLYSIS . Says" The most complex weathering reaction , H., is responsible for the formation of clays...A typical hydrolytic reaction occures when orthoclase feldspar, a common mineral in granites and some sedimentary rocks, reacts with slightly acidic carbonated water to form clay minerals, potassium ions, and silica in solution. FORMULA FOLLOWS if you want e-mail me) The ions released from silicate minerals in the weathering process are salts of sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium, which ...Clay minerals are important in soils , BERCAUSE of their EXTREMELY SMALL grain size-less than 4 micvrons (0.004 MM) - gives THEM A LARGE SURFACE AREA PER UNIT OF WEIGHT." The caps were my stresses on the vital areas of understanmding in relation to theMaxam workings here that we are talking about. Such Feldspar factors also affect the Kneelson Concentrator and the JOINT machine called the Mongoose which is a specialty standard Conventriomnal Gold Tailings Reclamation Machine OR HIGH OPT output recovery method machine depending on the set-up. This Mongoose was discontinued because of the GOLD ONLY aspect , Dick had said, but with this new Feldspar info..I suspect that it was also because of the fields of amps settings in the electric field tunnings with irons and other things..maybe the POTASSIUM which in MAGNETICS is a TOP LOCATOR turning KEY! Also, with the rtalk on the MAGS and the Feldspar and relation to Potassium, I see some relation here. I saw the GROUND BASED VAN doing the Magnetics on the day og the IPM-AGM when Dale toured the big group. Wires going all out back OF THE TRAILER with the P-7 sign toward Grid -7 , I suspect...that is the mine area in back of the trailor -office! I just figured that out! As to Mag Costs there is a $15,000-30,000 basic charge for an airborn survey, I understand and can be trple for a good size claim area. You just don't do HALF a section..the whole point is to do a MINING AREA. Airborn is THE next step. It's only money.... Chucauptpotassium2 I was up New Hampshire-"the Granite State" and climed up a mountain road at a 45 degree angle in a snow storm and was about a half mile pass Ruggles Mine on Friday last when we bogged down in ice...so I posted the list of minerals at this Granite Domed mountain mine a few days ago...Feldspar was predominate!:Message 2838171 Message 2838104
