"do you understand how volcanic activity worlks? Lava comes from the low belowes of earth not someone magically snapping their fingers a poof there is is. As the lave runs it deposits sulphides and it has to come from a source, something out of nothing is only fairy book tales"
But it is conceivable, is it not, that high Ni concentrations could come from multiple vents in different parts of J.B.? Analysis of the cores may shed light on whether the source of two anomalies was the same, but whether the source was physically split into two vents would be unknown until drilling or mining determined otherwise. Hence it could be possible that "a" motherlode may not be the final result. Comments?
