Outstanding due dilligence, Shortoncash. Are you a geologist?
I notice that the purple area you mention is the center of North Lucky, or the center of the bulls eye. Can you explain to the board the significance of mixtite?
ShortonCash -- Excellent info on N. LUCKY. The 3 purple dots do line up with the Wolf Head Dyke, 2 inside the N. LUCKY, just great. No wonder VALE is wrapping around N. LUCKY and won't let go. Great job Shorton, Keep digging. Have a good weekend.
ShortonCash ---- Excellent info & DD. This is exciting for N. LUCKY indeed. The 3 purple Dots, 2 of them right inside N. LUCKY Property, one just outside of the border. Amazing. These 3 Dots probably worth at least $2 billion each. Wait & see. Good job Shorton.
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.
For those that think new should come out every day the same folks gathered at Cornerstone Tim Stead Leon Normore Tim Froude and Jon Thorson in 2004 interesting read on the size of the copper deposit largest of its type in the world? could be
