Mineralisaatioiden ominaispiirteet Laaja mineralisaatio- ja muuttumissysteemi 10 x 10 km! vein-style mineralization with Au-U hosted in calc-silicate veins (carbonate, amphibole, diopside, quartz, biotite) Strong (empirical) association of Au and U (Au in Uraninite cracks but also with amphiboles and carbonates close to uraninite) Thin and very high grade Au intercepts -- > extremely nuggetty Strong host rock control of Au (metabasalt) wall rock interaction High fineness >95% of Au (minor Te, Ag, Cu) Low sulphide system Au later than Uraninite but how much and in how many phases?? Thinsection image. Pale grey is uraninite and dark grey hornblende. 17
Mineralisaatioiden ominaispiirteet! Rajapalot Four prospect areas within the hinge of a complex fold structure Au mineralization predominantly disseminated, replacement style in Palokas and Rumajärvi highly altered quartzites with strong potassic (biotite and sericite), albite, amphibole and carbonate alteration with disseminated and stockworks of pyrite and pyrrhotite Mineralization similar to at Joki and Hirvimaa More sulphide rich system compared to 18
Projektin hidasteet ja uhkat Hidasteet: Malminetsintälupien kohtuuttoman pitkät käsittelyajat (Rumavuoma ollut hakemuksessa jo 5,5 vuotta) Valitukset, uuden kaivoslain myötä yksi valitusporras lisää Kullan pesäkemäinen esiintyminen Uhkat: Natura2000- ja muut luonnonsuojelualueet (ympäristöhallinnon viranomaisten asenteet): o Kaivostoiminta Natura-alueella tai sen läheisyydessä on lähtökohtaisesti kiellettyä o Mikään kaivosprojekti ei täytä käsitettä Erittäin tärkeä yleinen etu Maailmanlaajuinen rahoituslama
Yhteenveto! Bonanza luokan kultapitoisuuksia noin 6 km:n matkalla o Kairauksissa on tullut lävistys, jossa on 617 g/t Au yli 6 m:n matkalla, sisältäen 1 m/3540g/t Au, lisäksi on yli 100 g/t pitoisuuksia! Paras saattaa olla vielä edessä: o Nyt kun 110 valtausta ovat saaneet lainvoiman, paljon suurempi osuus Rompaksen vyöhykkeestä voidaan kairata! Toinen, korkeita kultapitoisuuksia sisältävä alue on paikannettu o Rajapalojen Au-U malminetsintäalue vain 8 km:n päässä, alueen paras analysoitu pitoisuus on 2 817g/t Au;! Maailmanlaajuisestikin prosentteihin yltävät kultapitoisuudet ovat harvinaisia, sana on vasta alkanut levitä
