Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Putting out the idea. I'll answer any questions about the geology etc and my opinions on current events. Seen a lot of nonsense again today on the various forums. I thought the GGPhelp guys done a cool stream the other night at results so i've completely stolen their idea ;)
Thanks

Excellent results yet again. I love opening Newcrest exploration reports. You can just sit back and relax knowing it's gunna be good. Interesting comments regarding "other targets" in the Hav JV license area. Almost teasing a satellite discovery. But we wait until we get more info on that. Hopefully, these results will reaffirm to the market the value GGP has so we don't see anymore nonsense like we saw on the SWAG results
Nice to tune into the latter parts of the stream
Never normally one to participate in other share talk on this board but what has happened over at EUA today is a disgrace in my opinion. I feel sorry for those caught in that.
I'll check that post out AGEOS. So far from what i've read of the tech report and your posts, plus my general knowledge of Colombia etc, that epithermal overprint of VMS is exactly my hypothesis right now. Given the tectonic setting, the VMS would be a back-arc environment which would support the Kuroko type analogy they refer to in the tech report. This would be Cretaceous age. Then as the subduction zone develops and more accretions occur, we get the Neogene aged porphyries/epithermal systems start to come about. We know we have Miocene age intrusions nearby. Therefore not only can the younger intrusions generate epithermal veins etc, the hydrothermal system could remobilise pre-existing mineralization. Therefore if the VMS was originally a gold rich VMS, it's possible that gets remobilised to an extent. However as you probably know, this would need a serious amount of drilling/investigation to verify likely in conjunction with some university analytical equipment. Best to take things one stage at a time but i'm quite confident this system has an epithermal component to it
Cheers

Thank you for the welcome guys. I can't promise a video but I also can't promise there won't be either. If time allows, I may do a video on Anza. AGEOS, been reading some of your past posts. Not got through all but it appears you support my current interpretation (based on some brief reading) of Anza as epithermal. I also like that you have questioned the VMS interpretation of the past. I'm a little skeptical on that one also. I think if people have been paying attention, you've spelt out alot of things already :)
Thank you. I'm only just getting to grips with all the details atm. If you have any useful information, my email is on the presentations I put out and i'd be happy to take a look
Thanks guys. Well i've done a degree in Geology so I would hope to have above average knowledge in this space haha. I will be watching the webinar tonight hopefully. Meanwhile we can enjoy a nice bump to the price today it seems :)
Hey guys
Breaking my silence on the chat here tonight. I was due to watch the webinar tonight but something came up. I will hopefully get a chance to watch tomorrow. From what i've read in the comments, the presentation came over well and has some encouraging comments. I was impressed with the drill results obtained in the latest RNS. I'm going to take some time to read some more details in the technical report to help me understand the deposit type better as well. However irrespective of that, I see more positives than negatives with Orosur and I think given the outlook regarding gold, the market is undervaluing many juniors at the moment. As such I decided to buy some before the latest results were announced after reviewing the historical drilling, JV agreement and the chart. Hopefully OMI can follow the same path as the much celebrated GGP has in developing this project
Thanks

This is a very good question and i'll further the discussion that was had on email here. The way I see it is there are 3 hypotheses
1. Swag is distal alteration to Havieron
2. Swag is distal alteration to another Havieron style deposit
3. Swag is distal alteration to another intrusion related deposit, unrelated to Havieron
If I had to take a stab we could be the 3rd one. The main lines of evidence for this are (so far):
1. Copper dominant as opposed to gold dominant. Suggests a more oxidized magma/granite than at Hav
2. Swag is on the other side of the Havieron thrust in a syncline which is structurally a bit different to Hav .
3. No brecciation found just yet
4. No evidence of any black shales or pyrrhotite - less reducing composition/stratigraphy
5. Technically closer to the more oxidized Wilki granite
So overall, it's possible that SWAG will be a more oxidized, intrusion related ore system if present. If that is the case, it could mean Swag is not the same timing as Havieron. Just my thoughts so far but would welcome any discussion.

Cheers everyone. This one took quite a bit of effort to put together as there was lots of new info to digest.
Hey everyone
Just to let you all know, my new video is up. You can find the link to watch here - https://youtu.be/AFALgkA2nCM
I apologise if the content is quite advanced in places, however it is important because this video is giving you knowledge of intrusion related gold deposits as a whole and how Scallywag is displaying signs of being in the alteration zone. I have also touched upon the Malartic district which I believe is one of the best analogues to date for our area I have come across. If we are even half as endowed as that district, we are going to be spoilt
Thanks

So hopefully most questions will be answered. If not, I've decided to host a YT live stream towards the end of the week to answer any remaining questions as it's hard to keep a video sub 45 mins and cover everything
Video will be released this afternoon
That's the goal. I'm very much leaning towards industry. Once i'm close to the end of the PhD I will likely show put these presentations as part of my linkedin or something
My PhD is at a bit of a standstill because of the pandemic/lockdown. Tbh some of the reading i've done has been useful for my work. So it's not too much bother
Very close to being done. I didn't anticipate how many papers there were out there on a few things and I can't lie its been information overload at times. When undertaking extra reading you end up finding all sorts. I'm gunna do my best to break down everything in simple terms. There are going to be some complicated diagrams but I will annotate around em. The point of this video is to really educate everyone on intrusion related gold deposits and how you can explore for them. Bottomline, is Scallywag is very early doors but there are a few methods that can be employed to find something
Ok i'll put it in. I'll use the same slides as in my other vids maybe with a few modifications
Ok so quick update. I'm just over half way done creating the presentation. However, do people want me to include the regional geology of the Paterson again from the previous videos or leave it out to make the video shorter?
Bamps is right. You don't do a Diamond drill first, because it's very costly and is a waste if you blindly do it and hit nothing. You want the RC drilling to show you something before you do a DD run
