I have been reading about some of the other massive sulphide deposits and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the following?
Somewhere well beneath the ring of fire there is a giant pool or cauldron where the sulphides got mixed in with the magma to create the massive sulphides found in Eagle 1, Eagle 2 and AT-12. From my reading these cauldron's are rare occurrences and it is very unlikely probably mathematically impossible for each of these deposits to have their own cauldron in such close proximity. Therefore at least at one time the system of massive sulphides had to be connected. Logically from what I know at this point in time this has to be the case. But remember I am only semi-...
Here is my question - the mineral grades at Eagle 1 are extremely high and extremely rare. This implies to me that the cauldron that created these sulphides must have some property that makes the induction of sulphides to carry the minerals into the system more likely? I really hope I am making sense.
So what makes this cauldron different?
1. Rock containing the cauldron has higher concentrations of sulphides than usual
2. Smaller or larger than usual cauldron - making the mixture of sulphides occur differently?
3. Another possibility I have not considered.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated... If I am off my rocker - let me know that as well...
