Mineralization Comments

Jul 15, 2020 (P Bousquet) - Core resampling for L. Bonhomme (T-3595) returned an assay of 3040 ppm V over 1-2 ft from a metasediment with dark blebs of remobilized quartz at the bottom of hole BM-9. It is not understood why such an elevated value of vanadium is present at that location. The ratio titanium to vanadium is virtually 1:1.
