Raglan comparison again

posted on Jan 10, 2008 11:58AM

I know other people have posted information about Raglan, but I found the following excerpt interesting

 Interestingly, many have drawn comparisons between the newer Raglan Nickel Belt and the older, renowned Thompson Nickel Belt to the southwest in northeastern Manitoba. The lengths and widths of area covered by the two belts are very similar. The mineralization is very similar. But Inco and Falconbridge have explored the Thompson for far longer. The ore bodies at Thompson are down to the 7000-foot level while the orebodies at Raglan have generally been drilled to only the 1000-foot level and are open at depth. The extensive exploration at Thompson has identified some 32 mineralized orebodies totaling approximately 800 million tons of mineralization while at the relatively younger Raglan there are 6 known deposits and some 20 small bodies totaling approximately 40-50 million tons of mineralization. A comparison of the Raglan to Thompson clearly indicates that only a fraction of the Ni-Cu-PGM-Co sulphide deposits and tonnage known at Thompson has been discovered to date at Raglan. Notably, though debatable, in the comparison to the Thompson Nickel Belt segment of the Proterozoic Circum Superior Belt is the suggestion that the Raglan segment has a significant shortfall of ores bodies and tonnage of mineralization which should translate into a large number of discoveries yet to be made at Raglan. The similar Thomson geology has also yielded the massive 150 million ton Thompson deposit, one of which size remains to be discovered at Raglan. Much of the mineralization at Raglan is near surface.
