The funding requirement is obvious imo. The presence of primary sulphides is not....yet.

Can KAV tell market if the disseminated metal sulphides in the garbbroic sills are a primary feature
Lack of clear communication to its investors has caused many to sell up many more are about to do the same

key question gas

Can you enquire if Kav would seek further funding to carry on drilling KSZ based on what they know at moment a yes or no please

[edjge2] 05/12/2019 09:20

Manic geological woohoo expected as this quite exciting now. Buying this near 2 has to be a bargain IMO. I agree with gas a downaimed translation would help us mere investors.

I would like to thank Mike for coming back to us but I think your technical replies which are important and necessary need a summary which explains the relevance to the desired goal finding sulphide mineralisation in plain English for us ordinary investors who want to invest in this exciting adventure.
The proactive videos which allow management more scope do this so maybe I will just wait for that.
I have already stated I’m here long term and the main reasons are the very experienced management team who are invested in this company.

Reply from Michael Foster

"The xenoliths are whitish clasts inside the gabbros. They are incorporated inside the gabbro, some with remnants of the original sedimentary textures etc. They will have to be studied in detail as they will reveal information about the temperature, pressure, cooling of the magma that formed the gabbro rocks. Part of a much bigger picture being unravelled at the KSZ."

Back in fair punt territory with tiny sells driving down, plenty still to play for, no patience even less understanding. I include myself in the lack of geo savvy but management seem better than many, if they get the break they want maybe their 12p options won't look so remote.

Gasman understandable post

[gasmanmick] 04/12/2019 08:30

Can someone translate into English and explain significance re finding mineralisation in KSZ
Thanks

Roles of xenomelts, xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenovolatiles, residues, and skarns in the genesis, transport, and localization of magmatic Fe-Ni-Cu-PGE sulfides and chromite

Highlights

- Xenoliths, xenocrysts, xenomelts, and xenovolatiles play active roles in ore genesis.

- Xenoliths influence the bulk density and viscosity of the magma and therefore sulfide transport.

- Some chromite represents upgraded Fe ± Ti oxide xenocrysts.

- Embayments/jogs/throats that localize Ni-Cu-PGE deposits are traps for collecting upward or downward-transported sulfides/oxides/xenoliths.

4. Xenoliths

In many deposits (e.g., Duluth, Noril’sk, Sudbury, Voisey’s Bay) xenoliths are closely associated with sulfide mineralization. They have traditionally been interpreted to represent wall rocks that contributed S (e.g., Mainwaring and Naldrett, 1977, Ripley, 1981, Thériault and Barnes, 1998, Samalens et al., 2017) and sometimes metals (e.g., Tyson and Chang, 1984), but played mainly a passive role during sulfide transport and deposition, reflecting hydrodynamic equivalence (e.g., Li and Naldrett, 2000) where less dense but larger silicate xenoliths have similar settling rates as denser but smaller sulfide droplets.
However, as we shall see they may have played more active roles by: 1) increasing bulk viscosity, 2) reducing bulk density if less dense than the magma or increasing bulk density if more dense than the magma, and if olivine-rich and if silicate melt can be advected away, 3) providing a medium for sulfide melt droplets to nucleate, allowing sulfide to be more easily transported upwards. Even if they contain no S, inclusions may contaminate the invading magma, potentially lowering sulfide solubility, but because of the limits on the solubility of sulfide in magmas noted above and the even greater limits on the changes in solubility with contamination, this normally generates only small amounts of sulfides.
Xenoliths are very rare and occur only along the basal contacts at Kambalda (e.g., Frost and Groves, 1989a), which formed from a very high-T (∼1620 °C) komatiitic magma, although they have been reported in komatiitic rocks at Digger Rocks (Perring et al., 1995) and Hunters Road (Prendergast, 2001). They are rare and only occur along the basal contact with gabbros (but not metasediments) at Raglan (e.g., Lesher, 2007), which formed from a intermediate-T (∼1360 °C) komatiitic basaltic magma. However, xenoliths are common at Duluth, Noril’sk, and Voisey’s Bay, which formed from lower-T (<1280 °C) picritic/basaltic magmas and at Sudbury, which formed from a low-T (∼1180 °C at the liquidus) quartz dioritic magma. Several examples are described below.

Gap closed

[skiboy10] 02/12/2019 16:19

Does that circled in red look significant?

[gasmanmick] 02/12/2019 09:31

Good news from Kav should have majors like Rio taking notice now. If drill hole probes locate massive sulphides then fab but I think even some more positive results will be enough to tempt majors.

Next is grades in cores

Won't know until end of January!! Listen to the interview. They need to stick a probe down the borehole to test for presence of metal sulphides and that won't happen until after Christmas.
