Hard to tell from the photo,but looks like alot of Bornite and chalcopyrite.


I agree. I live near an old copper mine and the Bornite is everywhere. This looks just like it.

Very nice. Is this from the area you were poking around in this spring or your more recent trip up higher?

Honestly it's right in the middle. No secrets on the site, it's well known just never been really worked correctly. Theres been various claims on it for 100 years. The guy who has the claims now is going to give it Hell and see what he can make happen. I'm just lucky enough to get to tag along for the adventure!

Did you or your partner do the assay yourself? Most assayers don't tell people there is Platinum in their rocks :)
