Now what? 2015/1 — Best Use Proposal for Oregon’s Table Mountain Nepheline Syenite for ECO aware, and affordable off-grid, energy star insulating wall and smart roofing housing systems. T he bargain retail end use of Oregon’s Nepheline Syenite has been subject to a global “top down” marketplace control of supposedly propriety prod- ucts based upon secret research, or European only patent. For many years this unique nepheline syenite deposit was not able to com- pete in the traditional world-wide feldspathic use in clear glass, bathroom china, and protective coating manufacturing, for a “handicap” of too much (Fe2O3) iron. This accident of nature providing “just in time” answers, may have been turned into a real advantage with the publishing of some university level research on nepheline syenite as a “clean air” flux to help the steel industry meet global standards. Another ECO advantage this “Swiss Army Knife” of mineral deposits has when dealing with the causes of climate change would be in the manufac- ture of rock wool insulation that has twice the R-value of a similar spun pink fiberglass. This use is actually US Forest Service clear listed, and was featured in the Ore Bin, a publication by the Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Industries, with a questioning why wasn’t this natural resource “gift” that also published Economics of Coast Range Igneous Rocks in Lincoln County that helped establish, along with U.S. Bureau of Mines research at Albany, Oregon, and the US Geological Professional Paper 840, that helped establish the intrusive uniform plug/sill deposit at 500,000,000 tons. A difficult figure to deal with in worth calculations where 500 Million a hard cash metallic penny per ton rock wool buyout use would only be $5 million. Even more difficult to comprehend when compared to the “free trade, no tariff protection” scarcity pricing our housing developers are pay- ing. Apparently the cost of developing a USA manufacturing source of a supe- rior nepheline syenite fly ash to compete with a very large European source with a nepheline syenite “briquettes” patent, has been the only answer? Or at least it was until the Chinese took a look at Europe’s propriety wall systems, delivered ready for place by crane building construction. Now, in theory Oregon rock feedstock could be sent to China, and returned as rigid nepheline mineral wool as rigid weight supporting metal roofing batts with a high thermal insulation R-factor. This market research was the clue that led to the “reverse engineering” by the Chinese to copy European ideas in nepheline processing, that for me, as the claims holding prospector, was a real breakthrough in the permitting process. Namely that the US Forest Service, that manages the surface of the un- patented claims requires a Code of Federal Regulation, Section 16, “Plan of Action” designating a valid end-use value far above that of “common variety” gravel. This really got me into a two year long study on how far ad- vanced Asia was over US in cost cutting concrete. In particular, how was it that AliBaba.com was selling the same chemical mix as Table Mountain for $250 per ton FOB dock side, China? That is real “added value”! What follows from un-copyright protected papers, and as I have a back- ground in old-fashioned journalism of asking the right questions, for the right answers, at the right time, from the right person — turned out to be FoamKrete [tm] which will be the first into production out of the three “grand fathered” quarries that produced a PH neutral jetty stone safe enough for protection of the industry of harvesting a salmon healthy natural cycle. And the gift from Creator here is that Oregon’s Nepheline is a roundup of chemicals in natural mixture of (Na, K)AlSiO4 , Sodium Potassium Alu- minum Silicate is the only readily soluble natural raw material source of Alumina and Silica” that happen to be the ‘magic’ in foaming light concrete four to five times the volume of dense concrete for affordable housing use. The Mountain T he deposit detailed in this report, and other sources listed in the bibliography listed on the virtual tour at www.property-prospect-showcase.com is located at Table Mountain, in the Sisuala National Forest in Lincoln County, Oregon. On a highway map the claims may be found 15 miles (direct) SE from Newport / Toledo, or 12 miles NW (direct) from Waldport, on the scenic Oregon Coast. Aptly named, Table Mountain is a plateau of 2,700 feet in altitude, in the Siuislaw National Forest. A good stand of Douglas fir and the presence of two natural springs provide a picturesque setting. On a clear day the ocean, 12 miles away, is visible. By road the distances are 25 miles from either point, with the best all weath- er route being a paved highway from Waldport for 20 miles, and U.S. Forest Service road , with the last three miles being nepheline syenite gravel quar- ried from one of three grand fathered in pits that supplied a PH neutral jetty stone for the salmon run sensitive Yakquina River bar. There is a railhead and sea-going barge loading facility at Toledo, only 15 miles away, which could be accessed via USFS logging and Lincoln County roads. The deposit is covered both by 32 lode claims, for a total area of 640 acres, which is considered one square mile. The only known, besides Table Moun- tain, deposits in North America, are located at Blue Mountain, On- tario, Canada, and 3M’s Magnet Cove in Arkan- sas along with a newer deposit located in New Mexico, also owned by 3M that recently began shipping pre-cast AAC concrete panels. Figured very conser- vatively the Table Moun- tain claims cover a deposit that contains 26 million tons of visible measured reserves of recoverable nepheline syenite, out of a total volume indicated to be 700 million tons. Evaluations of this deposit were made following the guidelines published by the U.S. Geological Survey (Circular 831) defining: Measured Resources — Where grade, quality, is known, and the quantity is computed from specific geologic evidence and dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings, or drill holes. Indicated Resources — Where quantity is computed from grade and quality information similar to that used for measured resources, with an assumed continuity between points of observation. This is where the depth measurements were made of the uniform sill by the difference in elevation from the top of the table, to visible proof down the sides of an exposed slope, of a formation that with drilling to depth may prove to be deeper than reported. According to Bulletin 81 (1973) Environmental Geology of Lincoln County, Oregon, by the Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Indus- tries, and Henry Harris (1962) Economics of Coast Range Igneous Rocks in Oregon, U.S. Bureau of Mines unpublished report, the deposit is 300 feet thick, and covers one square mile. The Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Industries Bulletin as- sumes, from the vertical relief of the deposit (i.e.: the elevation difference from outcrops on the top of the mountain, to the bottom of the exposure, adjusted for the angle of the slope), an indicated total of 700 million tons of recoverable syenite. There are numerous natural exposures, and man made exposures in ex- cess of 15 feet downslope that show the mate- rial nepheline syenite in place. An adjustment in the total was made to compensate for the fact that a portion of the deposit is on a section (36) set aside as State of Oregon School Lands, also dating from the 1870’s, and as such is not open to mineral en- try. As the “apex” lode mining claims uphill prevail under much of the private logging land, the total underground reserves are re- ally a mute point. The Table Mountain claims cover approximately 85% of the mineral deposit, which is the figure used to compute the total of 26 million tons of measured recoverable nepheline syenite, and 525,000,000 + indicated of re- coverable nepheline syenite. The U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 840, which features the Table Mountain nepheline chemistry as a new standard, suggests the depos- it may be 400 feet thick. Using this higher number the indicated quantity would be in the 700 million ton range, even before any drilling is done. The Mineral N epheline Syenite is a rare igneous rock that, although resembling me- dium-grained granite in texture, consists principally of nepheline and al- kali feldspars. The name sounds ominous but the mineral is not related to cyanide, nor is it poisonous. In fact, Nepheline Syenite is a very beneficial element. It is a “Swiss Army Knife” mineral whose usefulness keeps expand- ing. The uniqueness of this has lead to speculation that the ore really is a Rare Earth, or at least on the border of a mineral classification that already has 16 identifiable uses that China has benefited from through their control of not exporting their strategic minerals for the benefit of US auto makers of hybrid electric vehicles. Ironically the U.S. Bureau of Mines facility in Albany, Oregon, just over the Coast Range, that did some of the rare earths analysis on our nepheline, was the facility Congress closed down in a cost saving measure. Or maybe it was over the embarrassment that America’s rare earths industry did not pay much attention to what was happening next door at Teledyne Wah Chang Titanium, Albany, USA. In 1957 there were eleven separate commercial uses identified as the man- ufacture of glass, ceramics, roofing granules, rock wool insulation. Today, it is a challenge keeping up with all the new uses for this material. Since the mineral is 75 to 80% pure feldspar, there are a number of companies work- ing towards developing proprietary space-age epoxy and resin systems uti- lizing the unique qualities of Nepheline Syenite. One such project under way is working on replacing steel railroad coal cars with a molded feldspar body 1/3 the weight. The same company will soon be offering a bullet-proof “Kelvar” type material out of feldspar that can be seamlessly formed into a boat hull far superior to that of fiberglass. The Table Mountain nepheline has a Mohs Scale hardness of 6, a specific gravity of 2.57, and an average weight of 160 pounds per cubic foot. U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 840, and the State of Oregon Depart- ment of Geology & Mineral Industries Bulletin 8, show that the unprocessed material from Table Mountain consists of: SiO2 (Silica) 59.62% AL2O3 (Alumina) 18.60% Fe2O2 (Ferric Oxide) 02.86% The composition of imported Grade A Glass Nepheline use is: SiO2 (Silica) 60.04% AL2O3 (Alumina) 23.06% Fe2O2 (Ferric Oxide) 00.08% Obviously the limiting factor in utilizing the Table Mountain material, as is, in the production of clear glass and ceramic items has been a high iron content. The discoloration caused by the iron is not a factor in beer and wine bottles. Recent mill tests show the removal of iron not to be a problem at all. And a higher iron content has been shown to be desirable in colorized roofing granules in that the “impurity” filters fading by UV rays. The main competitor in North America, the Blue Mountain, Ontario op- erates on raw material that contains 2% ferric oxide that after processing, this “waste” is sold as 56% Fe. Other than iron, the factors limiting utilization of the Table Mountain material such as rock wool, and alumina, and extenders only seem to be lo- cation, and the initial cost of developing production. The material, due to the size of blocks and hardness of the rock, made a good jetty stone before the Corps of Engineers density requirements. The light to medium gray (with a blue tint) granite-like rock takes a good pol- ish, displaying a soft cloud-like effect. The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks and Minerals states that the nepheline syenite is “an excellent building stone,” but again location, and hard to tell apart manu- factured counter tops, with an ever wider range of colors, precludes this suggestion. Fortunately, the absolutely best use to concentrate on today is the magic of FoamKrete, as it so important a tool in answering what some politicians are still denying — that changes in climate are a result of fossil fuel unhealthy smog clouds being el nino jet streamed into an overall global warming. The Synergistic Chemistry P erhaps the most difficult uncontrolled circumstance and situation that some big board room business “engineers” need to understand is that sometimes smaller start-ups are the only ones that have listened to Albert Einstein’s suggestion that, “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”. Case in point could be Xerox, who rose to fame out of a photo paper manufacturing business by developing the plain paper office copier. And then through distraction (?) totally missed the transition to electronic paper, by ignoring, or doubting, documentation that they actually already owned OOPs software that worked by simply locating the X and Y on a computer screen Something the start-up kids Steve Jobs, and Billy Gates, learned by a visit to the Xerox research facility in the now famous Silicon Valley, being shut down by the disgruntled inventor, nameless today, of the mouse was let go by management for not being jelly bean cost conscious. Consider also how AAC concrete leaders today have gotten so into the engineering of those copper steam heated automatic autoclave concrete cur- ing factory units, that they overlooked the fact that what Third World Asia was doing with Chinese computer 3D house printing of the same mixture delivered by hose to a building site. And that in Pakistan, India, and Viet- nam, simple duct taped cardboard forms were used for a natural raising of the foam to cure. It is known as cellular light-weight concrete, or CLC. The only real difference from AAC is fluidity. What has also been shown in Asia that has a limited supply of nepheline syenite for admixture use is that the ‘proprietary formula” of a naturally oc- curing ore can be reverse engineered back to designated natural chemicals that cannot be patent protected anymore than basic lime and sand, in this new inventive concrete use. This is particularly true when it comes to the natural cement additive formula that sue fly ash, or other “expanders” that generates what has been coming out of third World countries as CLC concrete.
