The claims do share a common boundary (Pebble's north boundary), if I recall correctly. But I don't think the Pebble mineralization goes that far north. What's really interesting is that north of Pebble, on our claims, is a major geotech delimited target. If such a thing as a "twin" exists, this could be it. If there is no such thing, scientifically speaking, it could be another big honking deposit of commercial grade ore. Note to reader: look up "big honking deposit" in Guilbert's book. It just has to be in there somewhere.

I have studied the SRK B report til my eyes have bled. I think the
most interesting portion is 10.2 which goes into quite good detail
about the matching of the areas in discussion to the Pebble deposit.

You can then take a look at the 3-D resisitivity reflections on both
the Big Chunk Area 1 which lies to the North West of the North West
Section of the Pebble West.

To an untrained eye, it is hard for us to see. But if you read over
section 10.2 and have the color inversion printouts to glance back and
forth at, you can see why Mr. Briscoe has chosen this area.

Not only because of the "MATCH" in reflectivity, but this paragraph
tells me a little something:

The magnetic values and their character to the northwest of
the deposit (D) show strong similarities to the large area along
the common boundary between Big Chunk and Northern Dynasty (E)
(357,500E – 6,330,000N). This large magnetic anomaly (+1000 nT
contour) hosts Northern Dynasty’s 52 Porphyry and 37 Cu-Au skarn
zones.
Limited available geology suggests there is a mafic border
phase granodiorite (at 358,000E – 6, 632,500N) and
sediments/hornfels in the southeast (362,000E – 6,630,000N). Mafic
volcanic rocks (andesites, basalt etc.) show moderate magnetic
values (above the 0-contour), but also show lower values, so these
rocks do not show a specific signature (Klein, 2004a).

The Pebble deposit occurs along the slope of higher magnetic
values to the northwest, which are most likely a result of the
presence of hornfels and gabbro.
The Induced Polarization
(IP)anomaly outlined by Northern Dynasty is open to the south; it
straddles an area of the higher (in the west) and somewhat lower
magnetic values (in the east). The western side of the IP high
correlates more or less with the east edge of the Kaskanak
batholith (granodiorite-quartzmonzonite) (C).

The IP anomaly
covers the biotite-pyroxenite intrusive (A), but its highest
values (possibly related to the highest percentage of pyrite) are
to its north and south. The PebbleCu-Au-Mo deposit correlates
with moderate high IP values along the edge of higher values. It
is typical that a Cu-porphyry deposit is not associated with the
highest IP values (representing normally propylitic or strong-
pyrite alteration), but instead is associated with more
intermediate IP values (Klein, 2004a).





I think we are in for a very exciting month ahead - really do.

Did you notice that video referencing "block caving"? Clearly they're insinuating that that may be their preferred method of mining, instead of EPA's supposition that it will be open-pit...
