It works FOR ME. Highy mobile elements like copper and silver are KOOL cause like they disappear so fast, so man if you have a SILVER anomaly its gotta be reel close, you know what I mean?, like there are no silver anomalies that are not reel near actual MINES.

In soil or biogeochem funny stuff happens where like elements like radioactive potassium, copper,mercury, antimony and nickel are highly correlative with gold yet are not high in the rock? So, weird eh? Go figure.

And basal till ice drag crumbs are different still from geochem still. Best to sample down ice. A lot of diamond stuff is done that way.

But rock geochem is different still and is still and inexact science and except for some trace element rubidium and major carbonate- sericite quantities it is not clearly drawn to specific types of base metal stuff. But there are known depletion and enrichment correlations. Yet of you do the genetic contemporaneous stuff you come up with manganese being important yet you don;t see it in the literature.. but the prospectors talk about it in vein deposits.. strange eh?

But NVE's stuff is ore grade, only grabs and small channels. Definitely drill target stuff though.

Whoa there Bill, on that Halo definition. I think you were doing just fine there with the skunk story but you got off the beaten track there with the wind and water.
Re NVE we are talking halo models in relation to bedrock here.
As I said you did a a great generalization with the skunk story but lost track of the scent after that.
Thanks for the help though.
E. Charters. you are definetly right about the fact that the NVE team has some serious ore grade surface samples and apparently quite a number of drill targets. These kinds of PGE numbers are not that common. Not good news for Falco.
Oh and by the way Bill that Halo concept with the geochem is quite a bit more predictable than you think,especially when ref'd with bedrock.
Ask Falco and Inco about Thompson and then ask falco what the are now using at Raglan.
Keep up the good work here guys.

I truly appreciate your effort to educate this old grunt and after a couple
of reads I do believe I understand the process. As to your conclusion
all I can say is that salesmen seldom leave the highway.
