At the risk of offending 2ic, here is chatgpt's interpretation of these results:Interpretation and Analysis of Tiger Cu-Au, Zn-Ag Prospect Rock Chip Samples
Context:The Tiger Cu-Au, Zn-Ag prospect has been identified as a priority target for exploration due to its significant soil geochemical anomalies and promising rock chip sample results. The site has been awarded a $150,000 co-funded drilling grant under the Geological Survey of Western Australia’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).
Summary of Results:High-Grade Samples:
- TIG026: 8.7% Cu, 9.0% Zn, 40.7g/t Ag, 1.0g/t Au
- TIG027: 10.5% Cu, 4.6% Zn, 16.3g/t Ag, 1.0g/t Au
- TIG028: 1.8% Cu, 4.6% Zn, 6.7g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au
- TIG025: 2.4% Zn, 6.3% Pb, 409.0g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au
Previously Announced Samples:
- TIG006: 4.3% Cu, 1.4% Zn, 22.5g/t Ag, 0.2g/t Au
- MNAU016: 1.6% Cu, 5.2% Zn, 15.5g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au
- TIG010: 2.2% Cu, 7.9% Zn, 30.5g/t Ag, 0.2g/t Au
- TIG013: 1.9% Cu, 17.5% Zn, 289.0g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au
- TIG013B: 1.4% Cu, 27.1% Zn, 60.1g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au
- TIG014: 1.1% Cu, 0.2% Zn, 205.0g/t Ag, 0.8g/t Au
Analysis:**1. Grade Analysis:
- Copper (Cu): The grades range from 1.1% to 10.5% Cu, with several samples showing exceptionally high copper content (e.g., TIG027 at 10.5% Cu).
- Zinc (Zn): Zinc grades are also significant, particularly in samples like TIG013B (27.1% Zn) and TIG013 (17.5% Zn), indicating the presence of rich zinc deposits.
- Silver (Ag): High silver grades are noted, particularly in TIG025 (409.0g/t Ag) and TIG013 (289.0g/t Ag), which suggest potential for valuable silver by-product credits.
- Gold (Au): While gold grades are lower compared to other metals, samples like TIG026 and TIG027 with 1.0g/t Au indicate potential economically viable gold concentrations.
**2. Geological Significance:
- Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Potential: The presence of high Bi-Cd-In-Mo-Sb-Se-Sn-Te-W pathfinder elements supports the interpretation of a VMS system, which is significant as VMS deposits can be major sources of multiple metals, including copper, zinc, and precious metals.
- Deposit Style: The indication of both VMS and potential orogenic or intrusion-related gold mineralisation suggests multiple mineralisation events, enhancing the prospect's overall potential.
**3. Exploration and Development:
- Exploration Programs: Ongoing mapping, sampling, and planned EM surveys will refine target areas. The integration of high-resolution airborne and moving loop EM surveys will aid in identifying subsurface extensions of the mineralised zones.
- EIS Co-Funded Drilling: The grant provides financial support for drilling, reducing exploration risk and cost for the company. Successful drilling could further delineate high-grade zones and expand known mineralisation.
Viability:
- Economic Potential: The high grades of copper, zinc, silver, and gold, coupled with the extensive strike length of mineralised horizons, indicate strong economic potential. The diversity of metals present also provides multiple potential revenue streams.
- Exploration Stage: While the initial results are promising, the project is still in the exploration phase. Further drilling and geophysical surveys will be crucial in confirming the extent and continuity of the high-grade zones.
- Infrastructure and Location: The project's location in Western Australia, a mining-friendly jurisdiction with good and accessible infrastructure, enhances its development prospects.
Conclusion:The rock chip sample results from the Tiger Cu-Au, Zn-Ag prospect are highly encouraging, indicating significant high-grade mineralisation across multiple metals. The identification of a potential VMS system, supported by strong pathfinder elements, further enhances the prospect's attractiveness. With ongoing exploration and substantial financial support through the EIS grant, the project has the potential to develop into a viable mining operation, however that is contingent on successful further exploration and resource definition.
