[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 653823, member: 147"] You are spot on Dave with the barren quartz statement. Too many newcomers think that if they follow quartz they are on the gold. What they don't realize is that quartz is the most abundant mineral on the earths surface and as such only very little contains gold at all. What we have to determine is where the mineralized quartz is within gold bearing geology, and concentrate on that alone,.."generally". Colour, staining, oxidization, co existing within ironstone intrusions, and many more, will give a closer picture as to where to look in most states. Each state and indeed each goldfield within those states have differing variables which need to be researched to give you some sort of consistency in finding the gold. [/QUOTE]
