Hello, just got my hand on my first claim last year, and I've got a couple questions and would love some input from the seasoned bunch of you. Acquired this claim near nanaimo BC which is boarding a much larger claim (which has workings and proof of hydrothermal gold up to 64g/ton within the area). As seen in the photos below it host a series of hydrothermal quartz veins with varying composition, texture, and structure. (Im also a 4th year geology student, just got the claim since why not lol). These veins host massive super finegrained from pyrite, then some host pryyhotite with bornite and chalco grains inter-grown within. There is chalcocite, calcite, arsenopyrite, and some other sulphides which I dont even know. I am thinking of sending off 10 samples, but im torn on if I should just get gold silver fire assay, or a complete analysis since there is a good amount of copper minerals and minerals idk. What do yall think? Thanks.
