RE: Well Crone's downhole system will tell you the distance and direction to the conductor, even if you are inside another conductor. That is why it should be used for Kuroko situations. It is good for 100 metres from the conductor and just about unlimited depth. The thing is will not tell you size of conductor, just its value. "Vertical sounding" in IP will tell you depth and "probable" size. Surface TDEM has several ways of showing the depth and size to a degree, so does mise a la masse. Mag would tell you more about true size of the magnetic component if one can isolate it from the Gabbro. It was all Inco ever used and its first tool. The ore here is magnetic. So its size and depth will yield to far seeing gradient of magnetics. One thing is true. The size of the Gabbro is not related to the size and economics of the orebody if many models such as Lynn Lake or Thompson are used. (Structural Geology of CDN ore Deposits, Ruttan, Mercury Press) The ore is always post gabbro or post norite as in Sudbury and usually has hydrothermal origins. I think they will find that the ore is in shears and near contacts and related in age to the felsic intrusives/extrusives of the area. You will find that these deposits are independent of the size of the gabbroic host and that therefore the possibility that the mafics are directly related any more than the felsics is moot. In fact you will find that the gneiss is the controlling factor as it is the only rock with enough nickel in it to act as a source. So if the gabbro was earlier than the ore and lacks nickel, what role could it play in deposition? At first I gave you the benefit of the doubt as being an attention seeking bullshitter. But your dribble zoomed past the line of humorous misinformation and has pulled up at dangerous ignorance. I realize you are already aware this fact, but I thought I would just confirm the PMs's I received. 1King P.S. The thread looks forward to the rambling retort!
