Mineman and Gary:

I suggested using an S.G. value of 3.2 because the rock density should be about 3.0. If you then allow for 10% sulfides throughout the zone (5% can be accounted for by redistributing 3m of massive sulfide over 60 m, the other 5% from low grade mineralization in the other 57m) with a S.G. of 4.6, you get an overall S.G. of 3.2. Using the correct S.G. value can be critical to determining the viability of a mine (recall the Canamax deposit in the Yukon) but will be nearly irrelevant if the massive part of the zone doubles in width in the next few holes.

To all: I think this has to one of the most respectful and informational base metal threads ever! We are all learning on this thread and it is wealth of information to new comers in the junior market.Thanks to all for their input, and keep the OBJECTIVE information and criticism flowing.

A question for you, mineman.

A geo friend of mine in the Quebec City city area who knows the area well has followed your comments closely. He tells me you know what you are talking about. However, he has a question about your description of the rock as a plug.

<< How come does he think that it is a small gabbro «plug». This «plug» is differentiated. A small plug can't differentiated since it will cool fast. Only large masses of mafic to ultramafic have time to
differentiate.

This is why I think that that gabbro-norite «plug» was part of a larger mass of rock before. The only one in the area is the Rocher-Quénonisca differentiated intrusive which is very very large. >>

Any thoughts, on the above?

Regards,

Bob
