It's not just all about the (CU) Copper..(new DD and report at bottom)..It's all the base metals... V, Co, Ag, Zn and Pb with the (Cu) Copper...all comes out in the hydromet process...See page 18 of the Hinchey report (link)..... and..... the paragraph from the abstract (below)...more than Copper
The same beds that have the the focus of the search for Copper have been a source of other minerals ( Co V Pb Ag Zn)

Depends if you think the subeconomic copper find is the end or just a beginning it is not obvious...in fact it could be part of the drilling program to see how much the copper or the alteration had effected the rocks at a location of the highest reading...suggest you read up some more...google sub economic copper and mafic-ultramafic and maybe you see that it is all part of the type of deposit...look at the copper percentages in the last picture of OD....
Nice list like a Letterman top 10....
nteresting article about the progress of single hole or cross hole analysis by INCO seems two borehole might be enough?

Figure 38: Current typical sectional interpretation derived from the integration of drilling, geology and geophysics
The understanding of the architecture of the host rock and the massive sulphides and mineralization was an important factor during the exploration and delineation of the 1D Lower zone. As indicated previously, not all sulphide contacts follow the rock fabric and thus, interpretation of mineral and ore envelopes is complicated. Although the large-scale shape and distribution of the ore was relatively predictable, the details required to explore and delineate the zone hole-to-hole and section-to-section required additional infill boreholes to be drilled in specific locations. In fact, for particularly complicated areas, the drilling of sufficient boreholes to allow detailed interpretation based solely on sulphide intersections would not be feasible.
When used in conjunction with borehole information, seismic tomography increased confidence in the broader-scale ore zone geometry. It yielded the first independent confirmation of the dip of the ore envelope. It was also used at an appropriate time in the project and thus, delivered information in a timely manner so that the interpretation of boreholes that were being drilled was influenced

of the section mapp looking at the sections there is little question where the new copper locations are even though Cornerstone reported they got squat at Red Cliff under Vales direction and Noranda was able to find very high percent copper number by weight. Thorson has said the SSC deposit should be nearby...never said it was on a current Cornerstone claim

Here is a map that shows where (NTS 2C/04) (NTS 2C/06) and (NTS 2C/11) are on the NTS grid.
Quote:
Leon Normore continued 1:50 000-scale bedrock mapping
in the Avalon Zone of eastern Newfoundland with the
Random Island map area (NTS 2C/04). This area is to the
south of the Trinity and Bonavista map areas (NTS 2C/06,
NTS 2C/11) that were mapped during the 2009 and 2010
field seasons. The Random Island map area contains a
greater variety of rock types compared to areas to the north
and includes sedimentary, volcaniclastic, volcanic and plutonic
rocks. Field work focused on extending the previously
established stratigraphic framework of the Bonavista
Peninsula to the southwest into the Random Island area.
The well known copper-bearing Blue Point Horizon of the
Crown Hill Formation was found in several new localities
across the entire eastern edge of the map area. Copper mineralization also occurs in the chilled margins of the Herring
Cove Facies pillow lavas located between the Crown Hill and
Rocky Harbour formations.

Used for the construction industry...before the quarry starts production......LOL seems alittle fishy to me that there is no information for the Bulldog quarry, no phone number seem they dont want the construction business to call.....
http://www.nr.gov.nl.ca/nr/mines/geoscience/publications/MinesBranchReview2011.pdf
There were 1649 quarry permits and 82 quarry leases issued
in the province in 2010. Total production for the province in
2010 was 4 774 148 m, a 44% increase over the 3 309 332 m
produced in 2009. During the 2011/12 fiscal year quarry
inspectors have completed 1120 inspections. Increased
inspection activity has led to better compliance with the
Quarry Materials Act, but serious violations still occur.
Currently court dates are pending for two incidents where
charges have been laid for illegal quarrying.
A significant enhancement was completed in July for Quarry
Permit/Lease information displayed on the Geoscience
Atlas. It is now possible to identify sites where new applications
for a Quarry Permit are located before the permit is
issued. As well, Subordinate Quarry Permit locations,
Quarry Leases and archived expired quarry permit locations
can now be identified and distinguished on the Geoscience
Atlas; a mine of useful information for groups in the construction
business!

area of the quarry (Stop 3) may suggest that the tuffaceous copper mineralized

Maybe you can get information from a quarry.....hmmmmmmm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the copper mineralization is widespread at Site 1 and the resulting assays
appreciable in copper concentration, it is hard to say how widespread the
mineralization really is. The lack of mapping and prospecting done to date gives no
evidence as to the extent of the mineralization but the presence of a second shaft in
the area of the quarry (Stop 3) may suggest that the tuffaceous copper mineralized
unit may extend much further west than what is already known.

It effectively managed a two-year head-start on any competitors

Haynes says that by early 1972 — almost three years into the PhD study — the research showed convincingly that common types of continental basalts became “potent sources of copper” when altered by heated water in the Earth’s crust. Furthermore, certain chemical markers (such as the ratio of reduced and oxidised iron in the rock and the rock sodium content) clearly identified some basalts as better sources of copper than others.
Haynes says that, as these findings became clear, he had many interesting discussions with Roy Woodall and Jim Lalor, the future leader of the search for Olympic Dam, about what they might mean for copper exploration in Australia.
Haynes’ PhD received a commendation from the ANU review committee, falling short of the top level of merit. Perhaps the ANU did not appreciate the full significance of the research, although it would rectify this in 1985 by awarding Haynes the David Brown Medal for the best application of a PhD to industry.
Western Mining certainly had no doubts about the value of Haynes’ findings. Haynes says everything possible was done to keep his research from the prying eyes of competitors. While there were limits to the restrictions that could be placed on access to a taxpayer-funded PhD, Western Mining was able to keep Haynes’ research findings under wraps until 1974. It effectively managed a two-year head-start on any competitors that might want to throw their own exploration funds behind the breakthrough science that Haynes had developed at ANU.

Seems like alot of money to spend after having the claim for 10 years....
So what happen in May 2010 that might have give cause for the Gaint Ore Deposit invitation and what might have happen since then
Notice on the map the distance to North Lucky...the Blue Point Horizon is 65km long and continues in their Deer Harbour property so the point may be the size of the deposit and the work done to trace it the fluid flow along the Fault lines...ie North Lucky
In May 2010, Cornerstone announced that it had signed an option agreement with Vale Exploration Canada Inc. ("VEC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vale S.A. (NYSE-VALE) ("VALE"), on the Red Cliff and Deer Harbour (see Deer Harbour project summary) copper properties. VEC will make an initial payment of C$25,000 and has committed to a minimum first year expenditure of C$165,000. Thereafter, VEC may elect to make further cash payments totaling C$75,000 over the first two years of the option and incur additional exploration expenditures totaling C$2,850,000 over three years in order to earn a 60% interest in the properties. The parties will then form a joint venture to further explore and develop mineral resources on the properties, with each party contributing to approved exploration programs as per their interest. VEC will operate the exploration programs during the option period in consultation with Cornerstone.
The Red Cliff property is underlain predominantly by gently dipping sedimentary rocks of the Crown Hill Formation, which forms the stratigraphic top of the Late Neoproterozoic Musgravetown Group. The Crown Hill Formation is a red bed sequence comprising pebble and cobble conglomerates, coarse to fine grained sandstone and minor siltstone. Grey and green sandstone and siltstone beds up to 40 m thick within the red bed sequence represent reduced members, which commonly contain sediment-hosted stratiform copper (SSC) mineralization comprising finely disseminated, fracture filling and veinlet chalcocite ± secondary malachite. In the north central portion of the property, the Crown Hill Formation is overlain by a tightly folded sequence of uppermost Neoproterozoic to lowermost Cambrian quartzites and quartz arenites of the Random Formation, and Lower Cambrian red and green shales.
Its the long skinny one there above VALEs 017003 claim.

Leon Normore continued 1:50 000-scale bedrock mapping
in the Avalon Zone of eastern Newfoundland with the
Random Island map area (NTS 2C/04). This area is to the
south of the Trinity and Bonavista map areas (NTS 2C/06,
NTS 2C/11) that were mapped during the 2009 and 2010
field seasons. The Random Island map area contains a
greater variety of rock types compared to areas to the north
and includes sedimentary, volcaniclastic, volcanic and plutonic

Thats is North Lucky....Herring Cove is South Lucky
Here is the summary review from 2010..... still waiting for the report in 2012....
Leon Normore continued detailed mapping of the
Ediacaran rocks in the Trinity map area (NTS 2C/06), of
the Bonavista Peninsula, and immediately south of the
Bonavista map area that was mapped in 2009. The Trinity
area is underlain by terrestrial to shallow marine
Neoproterozoic rocks of the Rocky Harbour Formation
containing distinctive glacial deposits that provide excellent
marker horizons throughout the central portion of the map
area. Intrusive and volcanic components comprise a small
portion of the outcrop but add significant information
about the proximity of a siliciclastic sedimentary depocentre
to an active volcanic island-arc sequence
The northern part of the Bonavista Peninsula continues to
receive extensive industry and academic research due to the
sediment-hosted copper potential within the Rocky Harbour
and Crown Hill formations and the presence of Ediacaran
fossils around the Port Union area. Vale Exploration Canada
Inc. staked a large area of the Bonavista Peninsula in
December 2009, and their exploration field crews were
active in this area during the 2010 field season.

New 2011 Mines branch review DD on Sediment Hosted copper Mineralization on the Avalon zone
http://www.nr.gov.nl.ca/nr/mines/geoscience/publications/MinesBranchReview2011.pdf
John Hinchey. The
synthesis and publication of results from previous work in
the Tulks Volcanic Belt of central Newfoundland is now
finalized and release is anticipated for the fall of 2011. This
area is a major focus for exploration for volcanogenic copper,
zinc and lead deposits. John’s work on sediment-hosted
copper mineralization in the Avalon Zone continued
through laboratory studies, and some of this will be featured
in Current Research 2012. In time, this project will provide a
full assessment of potential host rocks, and technical information
on all known occurrences.
Leon Normore continued 1:50 000-scale bedrock mapping
in the Avalon Zone of eastern Newfoundland with the
Random Island map area (NTS 2C/04). This area is to the
south of the Trinity and Bonavista map areas (NTS 2C/06,
NTS 2C/11) that were mapped during the 2009 and 2010
field seasons. The Random Island map area contains a
greater variety of rock types compared to areas to the north
and includes sedimentary, volcaniclastic, volcanic and plutonic
rocks. Field work focused on extending the previously
established stratigraphic framework of the Bonavista
Peninsula to the southwest into the Random Island area.
The well known copper-bearing Blue Point Horizon of the
Crown Hill Formation was found in several new localities
across the entire eastern edge of the map area. Copper mineralization also occurs in the chilled margins of the Herring
Cove Facies pillow lavas located between the Crown Hill and
Rocky Harbour formations.

Thats is North Lucky....Herring Cove is South Lucky
Here is the summary review from 2010..... still waiting for the report in 2012....
Leon Normore continued detailed mapping of the
Ediacaran rocks in the Trinity map area (NTS 2C/06), of
the Bonavista Peninsula, and immediately south of the
Bonavista map area that was mapped in 2009. The Trinity
area is underlain by terrestrial to shallow marine
Neoproterozoic rocks of the Rocky Harbour Formation
containing distinctive glacial deposits that provide excellent
marker horizons throughout the central portion of the map
area. Intrusive and volcanic components comprise a small
portion of the outcrop but add significant information
about the proximity of a siliciclastic sedimentary depocentre
to an active volcanic island-arc sequence
The northern part of the Bonavista Peninsula continues to
receive extensive industry and academic research due to the
sediment-hosted copper potential within the Rocky Harbour
and Crown Hill formations and the presence of Ediacaran
fossils around the Port Union area. Vale Exploration Canada
Inc. staked a large area of the Bonavista Peninsula in
December 2009, and their exploration field crews were
active in this area during the 2010 field season.

Still a lot of good information in the 2004 Cornerstone report if you read the Thorson letters in the back...
area of the quarry (Stop 3) may suggest that the tuffaceous copper mineralized
unit may extend much further west than what is already known
Maybe you can get information from a quarry.....hmmmmmmm

Although the copper mineralization is widespread at Site 1 and the resulting assays
appreciable in copper concentration, it is hard to say how widespread the
mineralization really is. The lack of mapping and prospecting done to date gives no
evidence as to the extent of the mineralization but the presence of a second shaft in
the area of the quarry (Stop 3) may suggest that the tuffaceous copper mineralized
unit may extend much further west than what is already known.

Assays returned 1.48% Cu and 6.63g/t Ag over 11.0m. This interval also included
3.00% Cu and 19.90g/t Ag over 3.0m and a second interval of 1.86% Cu and
1.60g/t Ag over 2.0m
Seven grab samples were collected from the exposure and the average values
of all samples assayed 8.65% copper and 61.59 g/t silver. The seven samples ranged
from .09% to 23.6% copper and from 0.3 g/t to 236.3 g/t silver. A subsequent channel
sample was cut by another exploration company during a site visit, using a diamond saw
blade, and averaged 11m @ 1.48% copper and 6.63 g/t silver

Re: B402 post# 172742
Post # of 179858
B402...Sorry but what I have found on Geo reports and maps is quite different than what you say.
First off Handcamp is quite Large and the Borax drilling report http://gis.geosurv.gov.nl.ca/geofilePDFS/Batch11/012H_0826.pdf ... talks about three different areas. MAC zone, BLO zone, and Handcamp prospect zone. (Page 1, Introduction) Yep, looks like Ken was right about there being different Handcamps. :o)
I copied a map from the Geo Atlas showing drill cores, and marked the Borax Drill Hole areas circled in green. (See below) As you can see even some of what was considered "Handcamp" is where Alterra currently has claims staked. (MAC zone)
The Falconbridge Drill holes, (remaining blue dots), are in the same area Kat recently drilled in 2010, but, Falconbridge had shallow drillings:
1976 J. R. Degrace recommended drilling to deeper levels.
1980 B. J. Fryer suggested deeper drilling.
Kat drilled deeper! http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=43704514 And came up with gold in all 12 Drill holes and nice amounts of silver!
In this section of the History of Exploration and Development of Handcamp, below, it comments on the Borax and Falconbridge work.
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1976 -> J.R. DeGrace of Geological Services Ltd. reviewed all the previous work for the Newfoundland Exploration Company. He recommended that two holes be drilled in the mineralized zone to deeper levels than before and that an additional hole be drilled to test the northern extension of the mineralized zone.
1978 -> Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. optioned the property from the Newfoundland. Exploration Company It was mapped, VLF-EM and total field magnetometer surveys were carried out and seven trenches were dug.
1979 -> Nine shallow drillholes were put down through the mineralized horizon by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. Consistent but erratic mineralization was confirmed at shallow depths.
The work summary from 1980 to 1983 is taken primarily from Wilton (1984).
1980 -> The property was assessed by B.J. Fryer for Murphy Corporation Ltd. He suggested further work in the form of an IP survey, gravity survey and diamond drilling to depths of 275-350 m.
1981 -> Fee Simple Grant, Vol. 2, Fol. 15 originally owned by A.V. Corlett, was transferred to Pacific Coast Mines Inc. Lewis Murphy had bought the land and optioned it to Pacific Coast Mines Inc.
1981-1983 -> US Borax cut a grid and conducted VLF-EM, Max/Min Horizontal loop EM and frequency domain IP. Soil samples were collected at 50 m intervals and analyzed for Cu, Pb, Zn. Seven holes were completed totalling 684 m. One hole was drilled at the north end of the main Handcamp zone, two in the Central zone and four in the MAC zone.
1988 -> MPH Consulting Ltd (Coates and Tremblay, 1988) was retained by Newfoundland Exploration Company to provide an appraisal of the market value of the surface and mineral rights of the Handcamp property.

For the map showing the Newfoundland Goverment mineral occurances and boring locations the blue dots
So maybe there has be a claim on the site since 1928 the site must have something there of interest to numerous companies that they did not full comperhend...until recently...
Same claim not same spot and not deep enough just need to dig a little deeper just like Cornerstones Little Deer it was a working mine about the same time Handcamp as drilled but they left 1.3 billion in the ground that Cornerstone just recently found and the folk running the Little Deer Mine abandon the mine just...20 km away Katx "Closeology" all in the same formation
So how did Handcamp get on all the mapps from the Newfoundland government. There is a link
So who did the report on Falconbridge in 1980
J Hinckey
http://gis.geosurv.gov.nl.ca/geofilePDFS/Batch03/012H_0668.pdf Looks like Jim Hinchey
And what was the first thing they stated in the conclusion...
Who are they Hinchey and Saunders

Pages 16 - 70 were done by the above... and they did the maps and Mercer maybe working there as well did the maps and they would know about handicamp...
If you look at page 70 on you can see that while some boring were done at a length of 100 feet the depth when drilled at an angle was rarely deeper than 100 feet

So, maybe now that Kat drilled deeper they found better results ! They only drilled 7 hole none of the deep enough both report recomment the next program to drill deeper.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sixth hole, DDH-006, recently completed at a dip angle of-45 degrees, 50m west of DDH-004 and DDH-005 intersected mineralization from 118m to 151m a total width of 33m(112.2ft) at a vertical depth of approximately 100m(340ft).
The seventh hole, DDH-007 being drilled from the same setup at a dip angle of-65 has been designed to test for the continuation of this mineralization down dip at a vertical depth of approximately 120m (408ft)... at a greater vertical depth than all previous drilling.
Zone #1 where the first 3 drill holes took place still show that mineralization continues at depth and will require deeper testing to determine the true depth of this area of the structure.
Zone # 2, 200m north of zone #1, where the latest 3 drill holes took place, showed even greater width at greater depths and is now being tested by DDH-007 to see if the mineralization continues.
President/CEO Ken Stead commented "We are very pleased and excited with the drill program thus far and we look forward to the lab results determining the gold and base metal contents. One would have to understand the significances of these drills holes hitting mineralization at such depths and width, with already known gold showings on surface above the drilled areas. And taking into consideration the amount of mineralization discovered along with the limited amount of drilling in comparison to the known depth and 1400m strike length of the mineralized
Much deeper
The current drilling program tested the mineralized zone for approximately 0.9 km along strike (trend) at 250m to 300m spaced intervals and to a maximum vertical depth of 200 m. DDH 012 is the southwestern most drill hole of the current program and is approximately 600m southwest of the main Handcamp showing. During the second phase of exploration, the mineralization in DDH 012 will be tested to depth and along strike to the northeast and southwest where the IP anomaly has been traced a further 500 m and remains open. Two other induced polarization anomalies subparallel to that delineating the Handcamp mineralized zone remain to be tested by diamond drilling. One, about 350 m to the northwest, has been traced for 1.2 km and remains open and the second is about 900m to the northwest, and has been traced for 700 m and remains open. The two anomalies are viable targets for testing in the second phase of exploration

Old dog just need to dig a little deeper....
So if you read back when the cores were sent out in 1987 (?) the did the resource estimate on a small number of borings and a small area but this was still enough to be listed buy the USGS and now its deeper and larger... and combinded with other minerals...
80 years ago they did not know
The island of Newfoundland is the northeast extremity of a chain of deformed and elevated rocks called the Appalachian Orogen (Figure 1). The Appalachian Orogen evolved through a cycle of ocean opening, beginning 600 million years ago (600 Ma), then ocean closing ending with continental collision at 300 Ma. The fundamental geologic divisions of Newfoundland record the development of the margins and oceanic tract of this ocean, called Iapetus after the mythical Greek father of Atlantis. The Atlantic Ocean began to open at about 250 Ma and continues to open today at the slow rate of a few centimetres per year. Opening of the Atlantic dispersed correlative segments of the Appalachian Orogen to be found in east Greenland, Scandinavia, United Kingdom, western Europe, and northwest Africa (Figure 2).

Thats why Obrien came in an mapped Handcamp and the Red Indian Fault Line....the others simply drilled the wrong formations in the wrong spots the the highest reading....and we know those can be poor or barrne now after OD....
http://www.nr.gov.nl.ca/mines&en/geosurvey/publications/pdf/OBrien.pdf
See figure 1 Obrien ....Handcamp....
page 73 The folded reserve fault..is thought to define the Red Indian Fault line...same material as...Gullbridge
Is is there other DD Yes
Seems like you want everyone to believe that there nothing there
Massive Deposit just a little overburden...at Blue Point....
This is what their Consultant Thorson said
RC is Red Cliff PR is Port Rexton.....
From the Obrien reports....see other posting
From the Normore reports...
From google earth looks like there are quite a few locations to obtain strata information that would not require a drilling program......
Check the current research of the Newfounland Mining Sites Obrien and Normore on the BonaVista Copper if you want to google it yourself
So Vec Pr'd Blue Point and you want to go with the result from the worst hole...LMAO....
