1king: There is more detailed geologic info. in their May/98 release (but not much)where they show the intersections in a norite/gabbro material. It would be nice to understand how the structure there relates to the other sites at Raglan/Voisey, but, as I said, the Ni ratio seems to be higher in the northern areas (compare Hawk Ridge,Raglan) compared to Voisey Bay.

1king: How about bringing us layman geologists up to speed on the Ni occurrences in komattite,norite,trochtolite with regards to typical grades, Cu/Ni ratios, Pt/Pd associations and occurrences throughout eastern Canada.

I don't know why but Lynn Lake and Sudbury and Voisey Bay were all hosted by Gneisses, probably of late proterozoic. In BV is was the Tasisuak Gneiss (which packs lots of Ni). Lynn was serpentenite related. Sudbury is Norite related (Norite is a hypersthene Gabbro) and VB is Troctolite-Gabbro related.

Here the nickel is good in this drill hole, but the average MS layer is thin, about 3 metres, and they missed the big stuff in 1998 with their drilling there. Hume is a nickel freak. Strange at these low prices but it has paid off for him finally.
