Magmatic Affinity
Magmatic affinity has as its major premise that the metal in most mineral deposits is derived from nearby igneous rock bodies—rocks once melted and known as magma. Metals, including those of economic value, form through the initial chemistry of these once-melted source rocks and their interaction with the other rocks they pass through the lower to middle crust on their way toward the Earth’s surface.
The initial chemistry of the magma comes from the area in the mantle or lowermost crust from which they originated. It is well-known that the mantle of the Earth is layered and that each layer has different physical, chemical and mineralogical, compositions. To put it in simple, relative terms, there are layers of the Earth that are gold-rich and others that are silver-rich.
By high quality, multi-element analysis of the source rocks and/or the mineralized rocks associated with a prospect, we believe we can determine whether they are derived from the gold-rich or silver-rich part of the Earth.
One important feature of a magma is its water content, carbon dioxide, and other volatile components. It is the volatile compounds, primarily water, that are dissolved in the liquid rock that collect and carry the valuable metals from the source rock into the host rocks that will contain the deposit.
Moreover, a magma that is relatively dry will produce no large gold deposits while a wet magma can produce a giant gold deposit.
Giant gold deposits are not found in all wet, reduced, gold-rich mineral systems, however. By studying the nature of over 12,000 individual mineral occurrences worldwide, we believe that MagmaChem technology can characterize the chemistry of those few systems that have produced giant gold deposits. The chemistry of these favorable systems is known to us and in our experience, we think we can screen out those that have only produced small- or medium-sized deposits. Thus, we avoid those prospects with a very small chance of being giants and concentrate on those that we believe will give us a very much higher chance of making a world-class discovery.
Our technology begins to reduce risk by causing us to concentrate only on those mineral prospects that we expect will have the very best chance of containing a giant gold deposit.
