RE: Xtract Hole 1, Bushrangers, Lachlan Fold, NSW, Australia31 Dec 2020 16:32
Part 2
From the XTR Presentation of Apr 2020 which is in this thread, one will see the MAP of the Lachlan Fold Belt, New South Wales, Australia.
As mentioned the LFB ie marked LACHLAN FOLD TRANSFER ZONE only has North Parkes at the top, then Cadia Ridgeway and then BUSHRANGERS [Xtract Resources]. Cowal is mentioned in my last post below but it is not shown on the map.
As XTR stated in their presentation, "Globally, porphyry-related copper-gold deposits commonly occur in CLUSTERS and this is TRUE FOR THE LFB [Cadia-Ridgeway, North Parkes & Lake Cowal." Pg 6.
My Comment:
So, unless, Bushrangers is the exception to the LBF, it would be norm for the geology to follow given that IP, Magnetics, Geochem etc has been done and there are intrusions and anomalies as mentioned in the said presentation of which I quoted in my earlier post today.
Alkane did not say they have clusters similar to Cadia-Ridgeway but that their prospect has similarities to Cadia-Ridgeway [Ref: BODA]. BODA is North of Cadia Ridgeway and is NOT in this Lachlan Fold Transfer Zone and even then the CEO thinks they may have a Tier 1 prospect per their ANN of 9 Nov 2020 at an average grade of 0.35% cu copper [some are 0.17-0.22]

BODA is mentioned by Xtract in their Apr 2020 presentation.
CADIA-RIDGEWAY
is marked in the said presentation and in other places, it is marked 50moz gold which is DOUBLE of Alpala*s Tier 1 of 23 Moz gold alone.
XTR stated in their said presentation that they have the potential for a CLUSTER SIMILAR TO CADIA-RIDGEWAY [Newcrest] from IP, Magnetics & Geochem.
When Alpala was first waiting for environmental permits, the mkt cap was £8m with nothing but the licence participation with max of 85%. Similarly, perspective wise, many AIM co*s exploring in the Paterson, Australia have mkt caps of £20m + without any drilling or JORC.
Therefore, the BUSHRANGER PROJECT is not included in the modest £9m mkt cap. Align Research cites 6.56p target price at www.alignresearch.co.uk/cpt-company/xtract-resoucres/
"Blue-sky projects like Bushranger in the hot Lachland Fold Belt. ASX explorers with interests here have recently seen big re-RATINGS. XTR has acquired an OPEN-ENDED JORC resource of 350k of contained copper in quite a COUP." - Align Research
End of the day, it will be done to the prospect itself and all the TECHNICAL data which has identified similar other deposits like Havieron? Havieron was also in the structural corridor to Rio*s WINU at Paterson, W.Australia. Hence, not surprising Align thinks its a coup for XTR to acquire Bushranger which is in the Lachlan Transfer Zone which hosts North Parkes, Cadia-Ridgeway & Lake Cowal. There are only a few in this particular zone as is the said structural zone in W.A.
I note comment about Colin Bird*s other co - That was in Africa. That was not a porphyry.
If one researched very deeply, the geology is one of VEINS and that is difficult given
