Hey E, still looking for $$?
$ Return would be more than noted in the website. (Ore in $ pre ton). On the other hand, while gold and copper credits are there, copper can also form a penalty in a Moly con. Copper can be depressed in flotation cheaply, however, and then re-activated I believe. Many mines have that "problem" and deal with it.
The downside of the deposits we are looking at, is that they are "poddy" and do not amount to high tonnage for this reason. On the other hand, the known type of mineralization where it has been mined occurs over a fair distance laterally. They would not be largest mines in the world.
Another downside is that this type of mineralization is even more nuggety than gold and does not respond well to drilling. It must be correlated with bulk sampling to establish grade. This model was developed at one of the two deposits we have in one area.
Three upsides could exist.

IN PRAISE OF COWARDS by Bill Bonner
The French have had quite enough of heroic slaughter.
Eventually the United States also will get its fill.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/bonner/bonner15.html
How did the word 'French' become synonymous with yellow-belly'?
Bill Bonner peruses the blood-stained pages of history...
"Rien ne saurait interrompre les actions généreusement bienfaisantes de la France en Indochine." (Nothing can stop
the generous good works of France in Indochina [Vietnam].)
- Indo-China Governor-General Pierre Pasquier, 1930
A joke made its way around the Internet following the train bombings in Madrid:
"In response to the terrorism events in Madrid, the French government announced a change in its alert status...from 'run' to 'hide.' If the threat worsens, the French may be forced to increase their level of security, declaring a move to 'surrender' or 'collaboration' status as events develop."
One of the many conceits Americans permit themselves is that they bravely face up to the world's terrorist menace, while others - most notably, the French - cower in fear.
Elsewhere, in the International Herald Tribune, comes a letter to the editor in which the writer takes issue with an apparently widespread report that John Kerry is worried about looking "too French" and that this is a sign of "weakness" in the eyes of the lumpen voters.
We stop still in our tracks. We hold our breath. There must be a price to be paid for such arrogant dumbo-ism. But Americans are ready to believe anything - if it flatters them.
Anyone who has ever cracked open a history book couldn't help but know that French history is drenched in blood. When it came to butchering each other, what the Gaullic tribes didn't know about it probably wasn't worth knowing. And then, there were the wars with the Romans...and with the English...and religious wars...and wars with between princes...between kingdoms...wars for no reason. Weakness? Cowardice? A group of Norman French fighters no bigger than a small-town police force invaded and captured all of England. Bonaparte took on all of Europe...and almost beat them all.
General Marbot records an incident in the campaign against Russia in which a group of French soldiers is cut off from the main force, but visible from the Emperor's commandpost. Realizing that they could not expect reinforcements, the brigade sent a message to Bonaparte - 'We, who are about to die, salute you.' Then, they fought to the last man.
Later this month comes the anniversary of the Battle of Camerone. Napoleon's nephew sent troops to Mexico in the 1860s. In the action surrounding the siege of Puebla, a group of 60 French foreign legionnaires was cut off and confronted by an army of 2,000 Mexicans. The Mexican commander asked for a surrender. Instead, the French vowed to fight to the last man. Trapped in an inn, the soldiers had nothing to eat or drink. Then, the Mexicans set the place on fire.
"In spite of the heat and smoke," explains a report on the Internet, "the legionnaires resisted, but many of them were killed or injured. By 5 pm on April 30, 1863, only 12 men could still fight with 2nd Lieutenant Maudet. At this time, the Mexican colonel gathered his soldiers and told them what a disgrace it would be if they were unable to defeat such a small number of men. The Mexicans were about to give the general assault through the holes opened in the walls of the courtyard...[they] once again asked Lieutenant Maudet to surrender. Once again, Maudet scornfully refused.
"The final charge was given. Soon, only 5 men were left around Maudet; Corporal Maine, legionnaires Catteau, Wensel, Constantin, and Leonard. Each had only one bullet left. In a corner of the courtyard, their backs against the wall, still facing the enemy, they fixed bayonets. When the signal was given, they opened fired and fought with their bayonets. Luitenant Maudet and 2 legionnaires fell, mortally wounded. Maine, along with his 2 remaining companions, were about to be slaughtered when a Mexican officer saved them. He shouted: 'Surrender!'
"'We will, only if you promise to allow us to carry and care for our injured men and if you leave us our guns.'
"'Nothing can be refused to men like you,' answered the officer."
And this spring also marks the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. Writer Graham Greene visited the French just before the shooting started. He found them well supplied - with 48,000 bottles of wine. But after the Vietnamese terrorists captured the airstrips, the French were cut off and doomed. Still, they held out - hoping a diplomatic solution could be found. It did not come.
After a 56 day siege, French general de Castries radioed his superior in Hanoi: "I'm blowing up the installations. The ammunition dumps are already exploding. Au revoir."
"Well then," came the reply, "au revoir, mon vieux."
After the fall of Indo-China, the French renounced their "civilizing mission" foreign policy. Now, it is America that tromps over the planet, claiming to make the world a better place.
But when it comes to blockheaded bellicosity and desperate courage, Americans have nothing to teach the French.
In comparison to Napoleon's grand campaigns, America's early wars were piddling, tawdry affairs. Its wars against the Mexicans and Spaniards, for example, were more sordid than glorious. Even its Revolutionary War was merely a minor engagement in comparison to the Napoleonic wars, and only won because the French intervened at a crucial moment to pull Americans' chestnuts out of the fire. Here, we quote Charles W. Eliot's history, in which he describes how the patriots had fallen "into a condition of despondency from which nothing but the steadfastness of Washington and the Continental army and the aid from France saved them."
In WWI, the French battered themselves against the Germans for two years - and suffered more casualties than America had in all its wars put together - before the Pershing ever set foot in France. Again, in WWII, Americans waited until the combatants had been softened up...before entering the war with an extraordinary advantage in fresh soldiers and almost unlimited supplies.
Americans have no history. Probably just as well. The French, on the other hand, have too much. Practically every street in Paris reminds them of a slaughter somewhere. Upon the Arc de Triomphe, Les Invalides, and dozens of other piles of stone, the names of towns in Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Russia...or North Africa...are inscribed. Each one marks the deaths of thousands of French soldiers - gone early to their graves for who-remembers-what important national purpose. Every town in France, even the most remote and forlorn little burg, has at its center a pillar of granite or marble - with the names of the men whose bodies were torn to bit by flying lead or corroded by some battlefield disease. A whole race of orphans grew up after WWI...and special seats on the subway were designated for those "mutilated in war" including thousands of "sans gueules" - men who had had their jaws blown away and yet survived, too horrible to look upon.
The French have had enough of war - at least for now.
Let them enjoy a well-earned cowardice.
We will get our chance.

Bill Bonner

Time is in the physical world is a dimension of energy production. Einsteins equations and Lorentzs too, point to the fact that time is a vector quantity. It had to start to measure the change taking place in matter after the universe started.
It has a different dimension, (that cannot be measured), with the ever increasing entropy of the universe. In effect, it has the same property that matter does (1), in that it changes with the rate of decay of the universe. As the energy of the univere is dissipated, according to our present understanding of energy and matte, and according to the laws of thermodynamics, then time slows down. This can be shown by Lorentz transforms with regard to entropy. At the point of zero energy transfer from matter to space, then the equation of time stops, as it was stopped in the black hole that was the universe before it started to expand explosively about 5 billion present-earth-years ago. At that time, time was traveling much faster than it does today however, so years are an irrelevant measure.
As we know, in the parallel that was mentioned in (1), above, time slows down and mass increases as we approach the speed of light. In this way we can see that time and mass are elasic with speed, but we may not have realized that time is elastic with energy too. This must be so, as any measure of time, must use the same atoms so constrained by their energy content, and their entropic dissipation, to measure time. As their internal clock starts to beat more slowly, so does time, until, when all molecules are frozen, so is time.
This raises certain questions. What happens to the dissipating energy, and is energy, although massless, able to somehow congeal through black holes or other vortices of capture, into matter again. Is gravity sufficient although tiny, to be able to recapture the universe and make it recycle its frozen matter into one giant co-alescence no matter how far flung matter is. Some say that the universe expands forever. But I say it is open to question.
As well, the possibility that mass and matter are in fact just a property of energy vortices, so to speak, is another possibility. This is supported by the complete annihiliation of matter into light and other spectrum energy seemingly by its great speed and frewquency to be devoid of mass. But if speed and frequency creates impact, but such high speed particles calculate to zero mass, or thereabouts, then perhaps the Einsteinian equations are just pointing to the absolute equivalence of matter-mass and energy. What we would be looking at with matter would be a congealed energy space, due to special conditions of energy wavicles of certain geometries. The energy of formation of the energy vortex is what creates the geometry of certain elements of matter.

So you are saying that your lack of ability to talk and run means you are related caudaly to the Desert Doug Beetle? I mean Doung Beetle, that lovable little basal tetrapod responsible for getting its shit together everywhere.
I do see a constant flow. This is an exercise. At the right site it does induce cardiac and pulmonary rate increase. Some people tend to complain about rate increases. To further the hypothesis in a predictive way, you are also insinuating if I am correct that the ability to keep one's cool during these exercise means one is lizard like?
I always thought some folks had taken a different evolutionary path, possibly from a whole other source. The phrase "cannot walk and chew gum at the same time" takes on a whole other meaning. They are caudally related to a basal tetrapod. It's excusable.
If there an evolutionary cause that can be seen in the Animal Kingdom that explains why some people like to acquire things readily and why money seems to stick to some people's fingers?

I have seen mountain lions in Northern Ontario. They are called Cougar here. The last encounters of any number were in the 1930's although there have been several sightings since the 1970's. It is known that they are coming back as there have been sightings in the Kenora and Red Lake area. They were once common all across middle Canada from BC to New Brunswick. For no apparent reason they seemed to die out except for BC, but in the past 25 years they have been making a comeback in many areas. Ordinarily cats are very shy, so they were never commonly seen anyway. The occasional sighting often goes unreported in Ontario. Feral Cats that are descended from house cats are known to exist in the bush, even in very cold Northern Ontario. Fairly common as well are wild dog packs. Wild dogs are more savage than wolves and will kill game for the sake of killing. There are some packs near Temagami.
I have seen Timberwolf often in Ontario and Northern Sasktachewan. They have mostly white or cream coloured fur, and the animal is larger than a German Sheperd. They show no fear of man, and will never run from beeing seen unless surprised headlong. Most wolf sightings from Toronto to Moosonee are brush wolf, cross fox, or fox-wolf cross, or coyote.
Truly rare sightings are Ivory Billed Woodpeckers, Eastern Cormorants and Eastern Cuckoos. The Red Wolf is now endangered in Ontario where it was once common in middle and Northern Ontario. Water snakes, once common in Southern Ontario (Water Moccasin) may be dying out because of river pollution in the St. Lawrence and related systems.

Company logo? Looks like the drilling is done, just waiting for the results...
Everything in the "shield", or just about everything, is pre-Cambrian.
That is probably why the call it the Pre-Cambrian Shield.
The Cambrian era starts at only 500 million years. This is classically the beginning of macroscopic life in the geologic time scale. It is now accepted that even the early proterozoic, extending from 1.8 billion to 1.1 billion years ago, had microscopic life such as may be recorded in algal stromatolites, and in the consolidated radiolarian ooze of ancient sediments. These soft bodied very ancient creatures were not preserved except as echoes of their former selves; metamorphosed, petrified ghosts in microscopic rock formations.
Two billion to 4 billion year old ore vents would later be host to bizarre life forms, which to this day occupy the unique ecological niche of living off these hot water vents. Underwater geysers, super saturated in metals, now lay their valuable sediment in nearby basins when their superheated fluids contact the cold ocean. The resultant ore deposits have been continually formed at the edge of colliding continental plates where the rocks becomes molten at depths between 15 and 100 kilometers.
Far before that, when the earth did not have oxygen in its atmosphere, and when the rock surfaces often would boil lead, the ancient vast ore deposits we mine today were formed on a sea bed supposedly barren of life. These deposits are called VMS, and Sedex. VMS stands for volcanigenic massive sulphide, and Sedex stands for sedimentary exhalative. Iron formations, both sulphidic and oxide, (the latter being called taconites), were formed in the same way; in shallow sea bays, a few miles from a volcano, laid down rhythmically by hot water vents. Most sulphide ore bodies formed as the result of metals precipitating out of hot water geysers, which were on the bottom of the ocean floor. The time they took to form may have only been 50,000 years. Special conditions of burial and uplift had to take place in order for them to be preserved for 3 billion years.
Nearly ever ore body mined in Canada was once laid down at the base of an island chain of exploding Volcanoes, from 3 billion to 1.1 billion years ago. When I say exploding, I mean that precisely. When these volcanoes got to a certain state, they plugged up with acid rock, and then they went bang in a most horrendous way. One in Kansas exploded and covered the surrounding 4 states with ash about 50 feet deep. The size of this explosion has been calculated as equal to a billion one megaton hydrogen bombs. Probably the resultant ash cloud covered the sky for a few thousand years, and caused many animal extinctions.
The ore bodies formed then were laid down flat. Nearly all of them today stand on their edge, indicating that the degree of compression and folding of the rocks since then borders on the catastrophic. Ore that was on the seabed at one time was raised up to a height of between 6,000 and 30,000 feet ASL, and then buried perhaps 1 to 5 miles below the surface. If New York City had been on the planet then, it would now be a silcate-iron-copper-aluminum ore body about 200 feet thick and 20 miles long, wrapped sinuously around a few east-west trending faults. We might see the odd remnant girder or traffic light.
God was only thinking about building man and chicks at the time. What he was busy with then was whipping up fancy mineral bodies for his later complex self-determining carbon based robot-beastie to use in innovative ways. Two thousand, 800 million years later man would come along, believing he was the key to the universe. Great events gone before him, for two thousand times longer than he has been around, should tell him that he is really of no consequence to the evolving planet. A proper sense to have in the study of geology is one of awe at the incredible history of the sphere, written out before us in the rocks. Once a mass of land was centered on the earth, then it split apart and it drifted and spun away into continents, spreading itself across the globe. As the earth cooled more life formed, and gradually grew to enormous size and complexity. The the planet cooled still further, and in the last .06% of its history, apes began to scratch their head and say "whuffo?" So here we are. Still cooling, and worried about getting warmer.
Although most of the rocks laid down then were complexly folded, some are still preserved near their original attitudes. I have seen the roots of ancient volcanic mountains still sitting on their bases. One such monster I observed had a base about 6 miles wide, but it was only about 200 feet high. At one time it was 15,000 feet high. Near its base was sign of copper, and felsic rocks. It has bever been drilled, and the odd conductor is about. The target is in between the rocks that gave birth to Kidd Creek and the Horne Mine some of the world's largest and richest ore-bodies.
Ever throughout time these zones of subduction and continential plate collision have been giving birth to orebodies. Later the ore is folded into the earth's crust, preserved by mountain building, and then moved inland as the plates continue their westward march.
At these folded-in, preserved volcanic-sedimentary horizons we prospect today, looking for the signs that we are in the same basin, fault, or age of a previously-found productive body. If we looked at the contemporary deposits and their heat engines, we would see what our target was clearly.
The ore has to have been deposited in basins once parallel to a coastline, and thence compressed and folded perhaps once from east-west pressure, and thence north-south. The source of the heat, volcanism, or the surface expression of the main rock vent does not have to be nearby the vent-source as was once thought.
150 miles from a contemporary explosive volcanic regime, (Mt. St. Helens) an orebody is forming today, 1500 metres beneath the Straits of Jaun de Fuca, fed by a hot water vent pregnant with copper. If one considered that Timmins was a volcanic centre of a certain age, then considering this modern scale, one would be quite comfortable exploring for related copper-zinc deposits from North Bay to Moosonee, and from Kapuskasing to
Val d'Or

Creighton, Gertrude, Lockerby, Aero-Kidd-Crowflight, Worthington,
Totten 1, Totten2 from NE toSW With Crean Hill a splay off this offset. All these offsets seem to be radial ore bearing fractures."
# what do you mean "seem to be radial ore etc.." Either they are or they aren't. Make up my mind.
"Around the N and E rim the ore seems to be in concencentric fractures.
Mialex appears to be the radial fracture from Murray mine, North
mine, South mine, Kelly Lake mine intersecting the concentric fracture of Makada Lake. The Murray fault runs through Lively and a radial fault runs from the Murray to Makada Lake which in turn has parrallel faults. The Grenville front collision no doubt produced other ore bearing fractures such as the Manchester, ESE of the basin."

I hear yah reamer and I second that opinion -- (with a 13 no-trump sed theory)
I guess jeeallohgee is an imperfect art, not a deterministic science.
All these jeeallohgists going around trying to prove they are "right"! Kurt Godl could have told them that it is impossible to prove the rightness of a system of reasoning from within that system. So geology will never be "right". It can only validate its pre-set terms of reference. A good set of terms to start with is "this system is always right, even if it seems wrong". Such a frame of reference is religion. No religion tries to justify itself, which proves they already know what they are up against, unlike science. Religion is therefore more advanced logically than science.
******************
My geological religion believes that the ores of Studbury are hydrothermal as the gent who wrote the book on Studbury fully believed. Those at the rim of the basin are see bed sedimentary-exhalative or volcanigenic (Take your pick. They are the same process) and some of the rim and offset dike ones are vein hydrothermal injected, such as the Strathcona.
At the time, the 1948 observer said that the Studbury area was the largest area of phreatomagmatic (violently explosive) felsic volcanism in the world. He also stated that if the basin were to be magmatic, it would have to have been overturned. It is unlikely with its successions that it was, since younger rocks overlie older as you progress inwards to the center of the basin. The age of the norites is very near the presumed age of the ore, and the age of the felsic norite and the mafic norite is impossible to differentiate within the bounds of the error of the age determination. This, with the extremely fine grained nature of the two norites, is consistent with them both being flows that covered the ore just after it was exhalatively laid down in the emabyments along the basin rim it is nearly always found in.
This natural succession is much more compelling and consistent with the interior basin sedimentary processes and the later known volcanigenic copper-zinc in the interior of the basin, than the almost impossibly co-incidental and fortuitous deus ex machina of having the ore inject itself along a contact "plane of weakness" all along the rim as the magmatic theorists say.
The "plane of weakness" canard has some support in that the Whistle and Worthington offset dyke systems do control ore, and some veins do look dendritic in plan, offering the possibility of injection. Hydrothermal injection is just as powerful a possibility as magmatic, and it explains the extensive flow, and low temperature characteristics of the pendlandite much more persuasively than magmatic theories. In all fairness, contacts that are squeezed that may have gross differences in plasticity, such as felsic norite and the highly fractured sublayer sedimentary zone, do evince in many areas, preferred loci of injected deposition. You would expect with the highly fractured nature of the sublayer for it to be veritably flooded with intrusion. The fairly quiet nature of the sulphide encroachment onto the sublayer does not speak powerfully that it was intruded so violently by high pressure magmatics.
The whole magmatic theory ignores several important structural elements, invokes will nilly a huge unexplained fortuity of emplacement, and is very weak on how massive sulphide flows, or fractionates from its very low % silicated nature all at once in such a massive event. All over the world layered separated massive copper-nickel and copper-zinc has proven exhalative and volcanigenic origins in sea bed basin embayments, but Studbury has to the a hold-out on the very weak underpinning of geochemical grounds.
How so?

That said, the Grenville and its long history may have much more to do with the Studbury basin than has previously been loudly said. Certainly the extreme deformation of its once towering mountain ranges (30,000 feet of more above their base or 2.5 times higher than Everest) -- must have had much to do with laying out permissive dilationary structures in the basin. What lies outside the basin proper in the Grenville? Pacific Northwest Capital has struck it rich in an intrusive far outside the basin. Is there more? How far may we be from a volcanic centre to reap related ore vents? Contemporary experience tells us that 150 miles is not too far. In the straits of Jaun de Fuca off the left coast, sea bed orebodies are forming this very day at least that distance from Mt. St Helens and the Coastal volcanic extrusions. If you draw a 150 mile circle around Studbury you are in Kirkland Lake, Chapleau, Blind River, Sultan, Elliot Lake, Temiscaming, South River, or Midland. That is quite an area to look for related ore.
It might be there.

That should be enough to divulge.
Not that this is an offer to sell securities. It is more an opportunity to pre-gloat.
Gloat, gloat, gloat.
