Buried Platinum Meteorite nuggets in the Moran mining district!

[geowizard]

Hey you Platinum, PGM, and REE prospectors and miners,

Edit: Added "prospectors".

There is a locality in the Moran Mining District in Alaska that has all of the vectors needed to support a Meteorite Strewn Field.

and...

There are mining claims nearby that are mining Platinum, PGM's and REE's to boot! Join me on an over-the-top discovery!

Think it's impossible? Think again!

Platinum - Nickel meteorites are well known! Checkout the story of Sudbury, Ontario Canada for reference!

Sudbury is home to probably the single largest Platinum- Nickel Meteorite impact in the history of the earth!

The Temagamy magnetic anomaly is the largest magnetic anomaly in the western hemisphere. It is near Sudbury.

[geowizard]

The Temagami Magnetic Anomaly is a massive, egg-shaped buried geological structure in Ontario, Canada, measuring about 12 miles wide and 36 miles long.

Key Facts

Location: Stretches from Lake Wanapitei in the west to Bear Island on Lake Temagami in the east.

Cause: Created by dense, conductive, and magnetic rocks, including Neoarchean iron formations and large mafic-ultramafic rift-related intrusions.

Connection to Sudbury: It mirrors the nearby Sudbury Basin in size and shape and contains distant impact-related offset dykes.

Mining Interest: Explored heavily for potential nickel, copper, and platinum group elements (Ni-Cu-PGE).
Effect on Compass: Local compass readings can spin or fail near parts of the anomaly due to the high magnetic flux underground.

A topographic map is worth a thousand words;

The most casual observer looking through the lens of geophysics can see something unusual in the attached topographic map. There is a cluster of lakes formed in craters. Each lake, not one, all of them have an (exceptional) electromagnetic anomaly on the same side. The anomalies imply metal objects that impacted the earth in all cases from the same direction, same vertical angle and same velocity. Without much imagination, this is a strewn field.

Ed. note: added "exceptional".

Caltopo gives a vertical profile;

The vertical profile of a typical crater offers another dimension. See the attachment.

Ed. Note: added "the higher elevation of the terrain lifted at impact."

A prospector came along!

A prospector came along with a trusty gold pan, looking for Gold. The prospector found something else!

Mining claims popped up!

I was curious and drilled into the unpublished history. past and present ownership includes owners involved in specialized minerals and metals processing techniques and technology. They held these mining claims for years. Readers may form their own conclusion.

The largest of the individual impact craters has a conductive mass 1060 feet across.

The only other conductors within the vicinity are associated with water filled impact craters and have the same resistivity and phase. The evidence is compelling that DIGHEM has revealed an important, first of its kind, meteorite discovery!

[geowizard]

Gold deposits are practically always associated with copper or other mineralization. The profile has a central highly conductive core and diminishes in grade and conductivity toward the periphery.

The meteorites are different.

The "mass" in this meteorite is most likely a nugget 1060 feet across. The value of an iron, nickel, platinum nugget having this dimension is enormous. Mining is enhanced in this case by the concentration of mineralization in a solid mass. Drain the swamp. Drill it. Blast it. Ship it.

[geowizard]

Ship it?

Before shipping it, consider the value of an iron-nickel-platinum meteorite is based on "collectibility".

They are sold by the gram.

Meteorite strewn field?

I found a cluster of small lakes. The lakes are unique because each of them has a buried conductive mass on roughly the same sides. The largest mass is 1060 feet long! The elevation profile has the appearance being low elevation in the direction of entry and higher elevation in the direction of...

The plot thickens;

Meteorites are magnetic. Those that hunt for meteorites use magnets because meteorites are strongly magnetic! Here is a snippet of the DIGHEM survey data. Magnetic data is plotted as a red line.

I found a nickel Meteor while out dredging with my 4 inch dredge . How do I test it to check what components it has in it ?

 

[russau]

I would assume to I.D. this a XRF device would do the trick ! Other than melting it down and ruining the piece !

Test for Nickel

 

[geowizard]

Meteorite collectors with experience can identify a meteorite;

A handheld XRF spectrometer is a favorite method because it is non-destructive.

The fast, easy tool is a magnet!

Keeping in mind...

An XRF spectrometer is reflective. It reflects a response off of the surface of a sample.
Also, an XRF spectrometer only samples within a small (approximately) 1 cm x 1 cm window.

The sample is bombarded with x-rays and the x-rays cause minerals an metals to fluoresce.
The instrument counts the "photons" in different wavelengths. The longer the sample time the better!
