quite the study. 25 yrs ago when I first vent to skule the importance of the Salton sea type vents was just being guessed at and the rhythmically layered cu-zn deposits were still thought to be replacement type deposits with a "volume problem". (Mcdiarmid) My personal feeling was I was interested in the sedimentary hypothesis (Hutchinson) as it had a contemporaneous model. So were the boys at Texas Gulf who began exploring along these lines and had some proof from the sulphur beds they were exploiting that had analogues of pyrite in them and were probable sedimentary proto-ore. Later Sangster and others put together some models that were partly statistical and the drum was slowly beat. Today everyone takes these seabed smokers for granted yet the Texas Gulf crew knew that is what they were looking for. (Exahlative volcanic related) I don't know much about the Knife Lake deposit's geology but it is rather nice and large but low grade. I am chasing a similar one on the edge of a rhyolite-qtz-porphry which is a stringer chalco zone somewhat reminiscent of the Kidd Crk. pyrrhotite zone. I intended to do a TDEM survey and an MMI survey. Some of the CU comes to surface. I want to drill it this summer if I can get the money. I get up to 1% CU grabs and the volume is high. It is high temp with chlorite. Don't see a sericite package. EC<:-}
