Hey Jon......thanks again for shedding some light on the geology. This answers some of my questions about the variety of mineralizations and the possible genesis. I've been wondering whether there are similar areas of similar mineralization that are rich, polymetallic, and covering a large area, that have NOT turned into a mine or mining camp. This is a bit of 'devils advocate" question as we naturally compare Mcfaulds to Sudbury or Voiseys or Bushveld....etc....all successful mines and camps.

We have a not quite similar PGE occurence near me.....in Princeton BC.....it is a single mafic intrusion that had Gold and Platinum. These minerals ended up in the creeks and produced some VERY rich placers.....but.....search as they did, over decades, the consensus seems to be that the mafic intrusion never had enough Pt in hard rock to make an economic mine....not enough Pt per ton, but erode most of the mountain, you get the placers.

That was an example of, 'close but no cigar'..... although not completely comparable to Mcfaulds.

I personally don't believe that we will have that type of situation at Mcfaulds, but was just curious if you had run across other large area & polymetallic occurences that never got developed.......thanks again.....cheers......sambone
