MMS Probabilities for SPQ,BMK,FWR,FNC,KWG- EM Geophysics

posted on Dec 09, 07 10:40AM

This is yet another one of those rare posts that should copied and pasted for future reference, closer reading/study…It is especially important because it contains, in addition to some Geology, it also includes factual and very important Geophysics studies/maps from portion of McFaulds Area conducted by Area Players on or about 2004, and 2005…Take note that these Geophysics maps were made public, long before the Spectacular Ni Cu PGEs discovery by NOT….I mention this, since it is rather “rare” , with good reason, that Explorers publicly release this kind of Geophysics data/information after a great discovery….As evidence, BIG players like CVRD have already moved into McFaulds, apparently notifying Chief Jacob by letter.. The BIG CVRD question is …did they option land from NOT, or did they stake their own claims west of NOT?.. I doubt whether many of the Area Players would want to release “confidential” and detailed Geophysics Surveys publicly…However, fortunately, we do have these few Area Geophysical Surveys that can tell us volumes about the potential for NOT like MMS Cu Ni PGEs discoveries…These Geophysical Surveys only cover a small portion of McFaulds, approx a 5Kms radius from NOT’s Spectacular discovery and 5 Kms East, but they are extremely important because of their very close EM anomaly similarities and proximity to NOT’s EM signature/anomaly., all within 5 Kms of NOTFirst the all important Geophysical data/maps portion as they directly relate to the following Area Players around these area maps , including in no particular order, NOT, SPQ, BMK/JV, FWR, FNC,KWG. These Geophysics maps and their anomalous signatures, of said area are the real thing. They are the actual”physical;” EM signatureswere part of the data used I believe, to uncover NOT’s Spectacular MMS NI CU PGEs discovery, and SPQ’s famous Chromium/PGE’s layered peridotite discovery about 3 kms NW on strike, and were one of the primary reasons BMK/JV immediately ‘rushed” to stake the open area just below those SPQ optioned FWR claims. As a BMK employee told me after pointing these EM maps,…”why do you think we rushed to stake those claims near/below NOT, as soon as we heard of NOT’s MMS discovery”….So in my view, these Geophysics maps are very important indeed, and may/likely in fact point the way to other new Spectacular MMS discoveries, in this 5 Kms area, very shortly, with BMK/JV drilling this week there, and SPQ, KWG,FWR drilling there in January/08… To better satisfy yourselves as to the exact locations and claims ownerships, as these maps do not specifically give detail names of each claim holder, please download the latest claims map dated Nov. 26/08 from the link below, and zoom in to the area surrounding NOT’s Discovery…any Mafaulds map will do since these claims are somewhat original..McFaulds Area Claim Map…http://johnduff13.myphotoalbum.com/v... To better and precisely follow the points I will make below, it’s best to download the 3 Geophysics maps with links below, and zoom in to have a real good/closer look..Map of NOT HLEM….courtesy BMKhttp://johnduff13.myphotoalbum.com/v... Geophysical AEM anomaly map borrowed from BMK of that portion of McFaulds being discussed in detail…courtesy BMK…http://johnduff13.myphotoalbum.com/v... FWR TEM Map, of the area at McFaulds being discussed in detail…courtesy FWR..http://johnduff13.myphotoalbum.com/v... First a word about EM Airborne “Electro Magnetics” vs “ Magnetics”“”Geophysics includes in the field of mineral exploration, in particular the search for “Electro Conductive” metallic sulphides and oxides in resistive geology..It also includes the search for “magnetic” anomalies/signatures , such as Magnetite and Phyrrotite etc,that are magnetic which are quite separate and distinct from Electromags, which relies on “Electro Conductivity”” ““”MMS Nickel and Copper deposits are typically very conductive, and return a strong EM response (so much so that specialised processing may be needed to detect them with time-domain EM systems) TEM. These deposits are generally associated with ultramafic intrusives, which also produce strong magnetic anomalies, useful for targeting prospective geology within regional magnetic surveys. The presence of pyrrhotite in the deposit may create a magnetic anomaly, although it can be lost in the strong magnetic anomalies of the associated intrusives.””The letter before the term EM, refers to the type of EM….H EM is a Helicopter EM.. FEM, is a Fixed wing EM… TEM is a Time domain EM…They are all EM’s with different instruments/applications, such as for depth, close to surface, differentiating etc etc.…these and New types of these Geophysics Surveys is a real growing business, and usually take up to 20% of the booths at Prospectors Conventions……to cut to the chase…..I will be concentrating /discussing the following claims and Area Players…NOT and it’s MMS discovery Claim….FNC and it’s 4 claims adjacent to NOT…SPQ/KWG and their 5 Claims(optioned from FWR) adjacent to FNC…SPQ/KWG 321/2 % Interest each, FWR 35% Interest…BMK’s 2 claims below SPQ/KWG and adjacent to FNC… 1 Claim of SPQ/KWG Just after said 2 BMK claims…and 4 Claims above SPQ/KWG of FWR…I will first deal with NOT…many, including Kaiser have suggested that NOT’s MMS discovery extends some 2400 M S/W….in the first HEM map, you will notice that NOT’s EM anomaly does in FACT extend South/SouthWest by some 2400 M all within NOT claims….So, in conclusion, there is a great likelihood that NOT’s discovery deposit does in FACT extend further by about 2 Kms …perhaps not totally continuous, but rather in sections of that 2400 Kms strike length, since in part, the line used to outline this EM anomaly is not a solid line, but a broken line in dashes…The second Geophysics map, courtesy of BMK is very important indeed…For it not only shows the precise EM anomaly/signature of NOT’s MMS Ni Cu PGEs discovery, but it shows the intensity and strike direction, of a number of very similar EM anomalies as follows: please remember there are no numbers or data given on this map but a visual comparison would suffice…It is very clear that NOT’s anomaly extends North/West into SPQ/KWG/FWR Claims, there are at least 3 very similar anomalies , directly on strike NW from NOT’s anomaly/discovery…these 3 anomalies have great likelihood of being MMS,this is where SPQ found the Chromite ansd PGE’s…One EM anomaly is divided between SPQ/FWR/KWG and BMK..this is an important one, since it also lies next to a Fault, and is marked HIGH EM… A smaller anomaly is found in one of FNC’s claim a little bit South of NOT’s EM anomaly …this anomaly too has a great likelihood of being MMS…The next anomalies is in the BMK/JV claim, marked in red in BMK map,almost on strike NW a little more south of NOT/FNC’s EM ..anomalies…These one too has a great likelihood of being MMS, especially since they are next to a Fault and are marked as HIGH EMs, along with another anomaly right adjacent NW to it which is in SPQ/KWG claim….Leading from these anomalies almost on strike north/west, there are at least 4-5 such anomalies mostly leading in and into SPQ/KWG/FWR claims…these most certainly have a great likelihood of being MMS, as you will see in the next map, a “fault” running right next to them, and are marked with a solid red line, indicating a HIGH EM anomaly.. As you can see, those are the only High anomalies released in this partial map for that area .from BMK… they look superb…I asked a Geologist friend what percent chances he would give these anomalies under the circumstances of NOT’s EM Anomaly MMS discovery…He gave me a 60% chance of them being MMS…my guess was a 65% chance…so there exists a very good likelihood these/some of these EM anomalies represent MMS deposits, especially when viewing the last Geophysics map from FWR…So to summarize, ..1 EM anomaly in NOT’s claim, the MMS Ni Cu PGE discovery…and what looks like a continuation of that EM anomaly in NOT’s claims SW…….1 EM anomaly in FNC claim…just S. of NOT….5 to 6 EM Anomalies in SPQ/FWR/KWG JV claims….3 EM anomaly in BMK/JV claim...and 1 EM anomaly in SPQ/KWG claim…this first map does not show the 4 FWR claims,although FWR map shows 1 EM HIGH red sold line Anomaly in FWR claims, just above a fault in the 2^nd claim N of SPQ/JV claims,,All these have tremendous potential for MMS.You will note that on the next EM map from FWR, there is a little more detail and gives HIGHS and Medium and Lower EM anomalies…Remember that this EM anomaly was released prior to NOT’s MMS discovery, they were only drilling Medium to Lower EMs...Also none NOT ONE OF THE HIGH ANOMALIES on this Map were drilled , ( of course with the exception of the NOT anomaly/discovery) represented by very THICK/SOLID red line, that correspond exactly to the previous BMK HIGH EM Anomalies map , as some of the press releases from NOT had indicated…This is indeed very good news…Of course we can’t see the NOT or FNC High Anomalies on this map, BUT we can see SPQ/KWG/FWR, and FWR and the BMK claim, and SPQ/KWG claim, and the 4 FWR claims..…You will note that on the BMK/JV first claim there is a Fault(black dotted line), and beside that Fault,still on BMK claim, there are 2 solid lines and 2 thick black points at the top of the claim, never been drilled …these are excellent MMS targets/potential…the second BMK claim EM anomaly does not show up on this map, 9maybe it wasn’t surveyed, but one can see from the adjacent BMK claim , that the HIGH to Medium EM conductors do flow into BMK calim from SPQ/KWG claim…The SPQ/KWG claim borders in black) has tremendous potential for MMS since it has 2 solid red lines, indicating HIGH EMs, and 2 black thick markers…continuing on from there and joining the “Fault” in a NW direction, is a series of very solid red lines and thick black dots, in a much longer stretch all in SPQ/KWg/FWR claims..This area in my Opinion has the HIGHEST chance of being an MMS deposit, leading from about the middle of the JV claim on extreme left and moving NW past the top of that small square inside that claim, and past the Fault line, and are all HIGH EMs…there is a very similar but smaller one just below the above…Agin I believe that these last 2 EM anomalies mentioned have in my opinion, the HIGHEST possibilities of MMS mineralization…FWR has 1 EM High…None of these HIGH EMS have been drilled…BUT I’m almost certain they will be drilled on or about Jan/08….Remeber that there also exist a high possibility of hitting a pure PGEs deposit, and also remember the VAST Claims/Lands that NOT/JV,BMK/JV and SPQ/JV have at McFaulds,which have never been drilled for MMS HIGH EM anomalies…Just an interesting side note about that little square piece of land inside SPQ/FWR/KWG..As I was informed, it turns out that it was owned by an individual who refused to sell it for many years…eventually a deal was made with Renforth to buy said property, and subsequent to that SPQ/KWG made a deal with Renforth optioning all their diamond plays at McFaulds, and so acquired interests in that small square…I believe there exists a great likelihood that some of these EM High Anomalies noted above will find MMS NOT like deposits at McFaulds…this would mean superb NEWS for NOT as well as well as said Area Players, since it’s the total tonnage at McFaulds that will make NOT and all McFaulds deposits “economical”.For the record, and in full disclosure, I own most all of the above noted Area players, and have been accumulating more over the last couple of weeks, especially SPQ, BMK and FWR for reasons above noted, and may be accumulating a bit more if prices weaken further…As usual, this is all In My Considered Opinion…please do your own Due Diligence….JD
