There appears to be significance to the red line drawn on the McFaulds map. I don't know if it is merely an educated sketch or if it is based on provincial data. However, WSR seems to be prominent along a good portion of the line with jv's. It would be interesting to see the finds so far in relation to this line. Also, looking at the map, there is reference to VMS deposits(at SPQ). We know Noront has an intrusive MMS deposit. Is it possible that magma flows are in proximity of the line and VMS deposits are in areas at some distance from the line. Areas drilled have included mineral deposits that have some common elements but are predominintly one mineral such as chromite, copper, nickel, iron. Does this change with distance from the red line? Will we see a line of magmatic nickle/copper deposits with larger areas of VMS deposits on the flanks? Are the area plays and the many jv's strategically choosing properties based on this theory? It would appear so. Maybe the geologically inclined who have the maps can comment.
