I posted about a year ago that I thought Mcfaulds west / DE1 was similar to the Timmens area.... If so similar structurs will leave deposits in zones where the ultra mafic flow changed direction, allowing the deser ni/ cu pgm's to consolidate... percipitate out ... They have been chasing Ni in the timmens area for many decades... and I'm sure McFaulds will be the same.

Thus high grade lenses are freguently near the bottom of the material, thus drilling to depth is most important if you want to find high grade ore.

This means DE1 is a bit of an anomoly but it may have been created via centrifical action of the magma as it changed direction arround an outcrop of granite.

"Geological consultant Jim Mungall, Ph.D, Associate Professor from the University of Toronto, visited the Double Eagle project in November. "The large amounts of sulfide and of ultramafic cumulate make it absolutely clear that the Eagle One deposit has formed in a magmatic conduit. No magma could have carried the observed amount of sulfide in solution; therefore the sulfides have been left behind by a through-going volume of magma much greater than what presently remains in the intrusion. If the intrusion is accepted to be a conduit then it must be continuous over considerable distances likely measurable in kilometres."" - Source: Noront Web site
