RE: Formation of Magmatic Sulphides20 Aug 2021 09:24
The risk & reward here are both high at this moment in time. However, it goes hand-in-hand with where the company currently lies. It is trying to prove the concept of a major discovery, very high risk as there is always the possibility that the concept will fail. On the other hand, if the results come good and even more so if it announced at the same time it has discussed taking things forward with a major party, the huge potential reward will have been missed.
The key bit for myself in the last announcement was “Visual inspection of cores confirms presence of sulphides”.
The drill results last year of a non-mineralised gabbro showed “elevated copper and nickel values against what might be expected”.
We already know the KSZ contains metal sulphides from the previous drill and in an area not expected to have mineralisation. On the balance of probability, should metal sulphides be discovered in an area expected to contain mineralisation, they are likely to contain copper and nickel. Therefore, visibly seeing the presence of sulphides is a very good sign indeed. Obviously we won’t know for sure until the results are in, but things are definitely heading the right direction.
