Relikwie,

I may have to start charging a consulting fee... ;^)

A mafic dyke already has a lot of Fe, which is part of the definition of mafic: Mg and Fe.

Some mafic igneous rocks have a natural low magnetic field due to the amount of Fe in them... in fact ultramafic rocks are extremely hard to get structural information from because the compass needle goes crazy when you are standing on one.


Newfies take on hematite and RR

You realize that you probably need > 60% Fe to make it profitable and a strongly hematite altered conglomerate is not going to do it. No mention of Fe assays, photo-documentation, etc. So I have strong doubts on whether there are economical concentrations of Fe to be considered "iron ore".

Don't meant to be som negative, but we already discussed this in the past. Pending assay results from Hole #2 are what we are hedging our bets on wrt RR. However, I hope that I am wrong and they have an ace up their sleeve on Hole #1.

Newfie never said there was not FE just not enough for a FE ore body mine only
