Jan. 7, 2010, Neil Novak, President of Spider Resources Inc. states: "...The discovery of the nickel mineral godlevskite is intriguing, particularly as its' source is considered proximal to Big Daddy, perhaps within only a few hundred metres."

...[Hole33] the sulphide zone over 1.0 metre averages 2.74% nickel, 0.12% cobalt and 1.04 g/t Pt+Pd. A sample of the sulphide mineral selected for petrographic analysis was determined to contain an alteration assemblage of minerals including godlevskite (Ni9S8) along with veining of mackinawite ((Fe,Ni)9S8). Dr. James Franklin (director of Spider Resources Inc.) states: "This is a very low-temperature assemblage, and probably represents hydrothermal transport up a shear system from a more substantial Ni accumulation", Dr. Franklin continues "this explains the very high Ni contents, as it contains nearly 60% Ni."

Image many millions of years ago, a weakness in the earth's mantel deep under the sea, gave birth to a ring fire. I think this rare godlevskite forms when the cold sea water mixes with the volcanogenic massive sulfide at high pressure.

I'll be dreaming that our little spider finds the source of the godlevskite!
