Hello InvisibleKid,

I did not scan the thread site of GSQ for several days and today I came across your enquiry in your post # 36733224. I also noticed that you have not had your query answered so I shall attempt to give you my explanation of pods. Very simply, another name for a blob! And to illustrate I searched the net to get a picture of one and fortunately I found and illustration for Chromite mineralisation which can be applied to other forms of mineralisation. The link to this one is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169136816301299 and if you play with this site it will lead you to other models of mineralisation as presented by Elsevier and others.

Your query is correct. Some of the ore bodies may prove to be poddy in Mt Alexander where ultramafic type rocks or magmas filled pockets in the hosting rocks with nickel, copper and platinum group metals (PGE’s) consolidating in these Ultramafics which are referred to as pods by various writers. These as you can see in the diagrams are generally small and individually may not be economic to mine especially if they are isolated and scattered. If, however there are several of them proximal to each other, collectively they could prove to offer an economic proposition depending on grades of mineralisation and distribution.

There are many other mechanisms that are responsible to produce pods or pockets. I am thinking for example of; structural geological events and diastrophic episodes and the break up and digestion of previously formed ore bodies by subsequent tectonic activity. Suffice to say, A pod is what you see in the diagram below.In the case of Mt. Alexander however, and specifically the Strickland mineralisation, to me it appears to be structurally controlled by a system of east west faulting, which could lead to the discovery of a number of ore bodies in other similar structures, some of which are parallel to the Strickland structure. Nevertheless, it is early days and there is still insufficient drilling and logging data to say one way or another whether it is indeed just structurally controlled, or poddy or a combination of both or something else. Much more work needs to be done. And, perhaps this last paragraph answers your second question.Enjoy the ride to the forthcoming success of this company. The challenge is very interesting from a technical perspective.

Cheers InvisibleKid,

Helmenesh
