Is Hercules Metals Sitting on America’s Next Major Copper Porphyry Discovery? Hercules Metals is progressing exploration at its 100%-owned Hercules Project in Idaho, where drilling has defined a copper porphyry system known as Leviathan beneath an upper silver zone. Backed by strategic investor Barrick Mining, Hercules Mining plans a 12,000m program in 2025 targeting deeper porphyry zones and potential new targets across the property. Newly permitted areas and additional land agreements strengthen the company’s position. Historic and recent drilling suggest multi-metal potential, and planned activity across the Eastern Block, Southern Flats, and Grade Creek zones may provide key catalysts for shareholders in the coming months.

In #Idaho, Hercules Metals is drilling deeper. A new 12,000m program aims at unlocking more of the Leviathan #copper #porphyry under an existing #silver #lead #zinc system with support from #Barrick.

Deep Dive on Neoplatonism - SenseworldCafe Iamblichus is primarily concerned with defending and explaining the practices of theurgy, or ritualistic magic, within the context of a hierarchical cosmos governed by gods and other divine beings. He argues against skepticism about these practices, particularly challenges concerning the nature of divination and the efficacy of invoking deities.Key Themes and Ideas:Innate Knowledge of Gods: Iamblichus asserts that knowledge of the Gods is innate and prior to reason, judgment, and demonstration. This knowledge is a fundamental aspect of human essence and is "counited from the beginning with its proper cause." This suggests a pre-existing connection between humanity and the divine.Transcendent Nature of the Divine: Iamblichus emphasizes that the divine realm far surpasses human comprehension, using phrases like "thrice unknown darkness" to describe it. He states that "it is not possible that our conceptions should comprehend the power of the principles of all things." The ultimate reality is beyond human intellectual grasp.

Really pretty purple rock with chunks of whitish/tan to tanish/light purple. I'm guessing conglomerate, let me know if I'm wrong😁

This one Im guessing red jasper and basalt.

I thought this was really neat, triangular pits but I don't know if something was there and wore away, or if it formed that way. I think this is chalcedony of some kind.

Porphyry! Some of the biggest crystals I've found myself.

Trying out some new locations!😍Always finding interesting stuff. What I wouldn't give for a pocket geologist. But that would probably be pretty uncomfortable for the geologist.🤔

CARLO FOΝΤΑΝΑ BAPTISMAL FONT, C2 CE AND 1692-1698. ST PETER'S This huge porphyry basin has a somewhat mysterious original use. Often said to have come from the tomb of Hadrian, it is disproportionate for a burial that was probably cinerary. It emerges into history as spolia in 983, when it was used as the top of the monument of the emperor Otto III in the atrium of Old St Peter's. The marble sarcophagus was set into the floor, and the monument above it was distinguished by the imperial purple of the lid. In 1612, when Paul V Borghese was demolishing the Constantinian atrium, he did away with the monument and the tomb entirely. The porphyry lid was broken and put into storage. Finally in 1692 Innocent XII Pignatelli decided to turn the lid over again and make it the baptismal font of St Peter's, set partially into the floor in memory of the palaeochristian practice of full-immersion baptism. The artificer of this project, Carlo Fontana, published a self-congratulatory volume about it, describing how he had put the pieces back together and "brought [the font] to perfection despite the many contrary factors encountered".

#SpoliaSunday this week takes us to the #Vatican, where we can admire a large #spolia #porphyry basin that serves at the #baptismal #font of St Peter's. And it replaced another spolia font! 🧵
