Nice post greaser!

I would like tio elaborate on your paragraph below.

"

I discussed the Titan 24 with one of the members of Quantec geoscience. He confirmed that the decay in their square wave generator values in the last part of the voltage phase is because the ore body is using that energy charging up the ore body. He reiterated that where there is low resistivity and high chargeability this would be an area that, in their opinion, a good place to drill. The company can take that advice or not. I pushed for an answer that would tell me that their survey could pick up, for example, 2 gms. per ton of gold but not one gram. I posed the question in several ways but he said they cannot do this. For instance, their survey picked up 5 gms per ton in Nevada-not a straight answer. I asked if this was because the lawyers get into it and he said not. I asked if he thought eventually they might be able to do this and he thought not, and went back to how important the conductivity, resistivity and chargeability are in complying their data. I am at a loss to explain why my voltmeter can pick up a tiny charge in a spent battery and they can't have any idea how much gold concentration it takes to produce a pink colour. He always gets back to how much of a metal is there to produce the results of their survey."

Here is my take on the situation.

If the Quantec guy used the words "ore body" that is significant, to me and should be to others. What the Quantec guy was trying to say, is that just by looking at the images, he can,t tell you how much gold is there. He can,t because, the chargeability is picking up the sulfides that are associated with gold, its hard to get a good resistance reading in this area because of that. BUT, what we know, that he does not, is the direct correlation between the sulphides and the gold. We know, that where the high chargeability showing up on the C-1 vein workings, is 1-2 % sulfides. With this 1-2% sulfides is a direct gold ratio of around 1 ounce per ton grade. We also know that,the deeper we go in the C-1 workings, the higher the sulfide % and higher gold grade. We don,t have these high readings on the C-1 vein as we do on the anomaly. So logic should tell us that the sulfide percentage in the anomaly is higher than in the C-1 vein. And if gold grades went up when the sulfide percentage went up, do I need say more?

The conductivity of the anomaly is most likely a combination of the alteration, diorite/granodiorite and sulfides. This is why its giving off such a high signature. We have done samples on the earliest rock there, diorite/granodiorite and that is coming up mineralized to the tune of ~ 1 g/t gold. Enter the gold/sulfide bearing veins at a later date, bang you have the second mineralizing event that brought higher chargeability.

If you look on the resitivity slide for the A-4, you get a different picture. This is because that area is oxidized deeper and the sulfides have decayed to form limonite, not as conductive as the pure sulfides. But when you start looking at the images below this area, you will see at a deeper stage, the sulfides becoming pure again as they lead to the anomaly.

The yellows and the greens are good for gold on the resitivity, if the gold is found by itself. But the problem is, that the gold/sulfide correlation is almost prevalent with the high gold grades.

To sum it up, the Quantec guy could have given you a reasonable guess on how many g/t gold was there, if he had seen all the correlations done here and the proof testing of the targets. Another thing, he might not have told you because of signed non disclosure agreements with SLI.

IMO
