Looking at the following Probe Mines Geophysical Map and comparing with what is shown on Dr. Mungall's Map, I do wonder about Subsequent Erosional Events in addition to Subsequent Geological Folding, Shearing, Faulting, and Viscous Flowing, and Hydrothermal Venting, etc.
Clearly the Purple Blob extends onto UC's JV Mc Fauld's East Property to the East as well as North for a bit onto PRB's Property. To make this all the more interesting, NOTE where the PRB Tamarack and the 2004-6 SPQ drilling on the McFauld's VMS Deposits are located.
If the OVERTURNING was due as much to there having been a Doming to the North/North West of this area due to Batholithic Intruding and Latteral Tectonic Narrowing (compression/squeezing, etc.) in that area causing the Regional Shear/Fault Zone (called the Ring of Fire), then ALL the Exploration being currently focused on there has nothing that says the Doming is completely restricted to the North/North West alone and or that there could not have been a smaller, lower, or even a secondary (splintered) Intrusion occuring in a Finger(s) or periferal to the Main Event.
Then there is the Billions of Years of Erosion that HAS occured Subsequent to the Geological Event(s) that initially created the Basic Geology of the entire area. And it was this Erosion that eventually brought the Rock we are Exploring either close if not actually all the way to the surface of the current Earth. Erosion, which some have suggested would have removed up to 10 000m, or more, of over-lying Rock.
Think of a Marble Cake. Cut it parallel to the top at any depth. What do you see?
Take a second very freshly baked Marble Cake out of the oven shortly before fully baked, thus still somewhat Doughy in the center. Place your hands on opposite sides of the Cake. Squeeze the still hot Cake latterally while preventing it from buckling up too much. What will happen to the Doughy inner parts? To see, just put the squished up Cake back in the oven and finish baking. Then cut parallel to the base of the squished cake somewhat close to the surface. All the cake above your cut is the Eroded Material. Now, what do you see at the new surface?
NOTE: Good Food for Thought? LOL
