Hi Goldierocks Thanks for your insight, I have attached a photo of RG1 as well as a magnified surface image of the specimen

Hello All Thanks for having a look Goldierocks would appreciate your thoughts.https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/doc/member-docs/13181/1535078886_assay_doc.pdf

Hello All As promised got the assay reports back this morning (See below) Sample RG1 is the red rock that was in the previous posts with the thread formations Sample RG2 is the white and black rock sample previously posted. The WSP1 & 2 are samples from a different location about 10km apart...

Thanks for having another look Goldie rocks. I have a very good microscope and the images are highly magnified and the metallic spot is only 0.2mm . Some of the threads definitely seem metallic but the others seem to be white which I'm thinking is some sort of natural flux residue that aids in...

Image of when I smeared it with the probe and another of the rock it came from. This rock was found about 10m away from the red one in my earlier posts

Hi All Split another sample open today and got the same thread formation I've marked "A" as the metallic inclusion and "B" as the thread and changed the focal length of the same image on the microscope. You can see the thread clearly in the First image. This thread goes to a similar silver...

Took your advice Mr Magoo and took to it with the Creme Brulee torch ;) and low and behold puddles of metal. I've circled the puddles and yep another iphone shot down the eyepiece :) Didn't burn with a green flame or any colour, might not have had enough heat to vaporise seems to be enough...

Thanks for having a look goldierocks I thought the same but it is all through the rock and I have seen the same structure in multiple rock samples, some from WA and some from SE Queensland. My thought was that as the hot fluids passed through the rocks it deposited microscopic branches if the...

Hello All I've been trying to find out more about the thread like formation in attached microscope view which is 2 Sqmm. The rock comes from SE Queensland from a fault system. Some threads look like copper but the second type is whitish yellow "fibre like" made of thinner stands. Its not organic...

Thanks 20xWater, If you get back up there you better see if there is any left on the surface and dolly it up :) . I believe there was a large gold mine just south of Brisbane that was gold in Limonite in the old days. I just visited friends in Brisbane and we walked the trails around the TV...

I dollied up around the limonite reef and panned it but got no visible gold and there was nothing really to see under the microscope so I have been working my way down the creek line which is the fault. That's when I found the sample with the metal threads and the other white rock which is fine...

Thanks Matt80 I'll post the assay results when I get them, the sample comes from a fault system and at the head is a limonite reef (Someone can please confirm) (attached photo) about 1/2 km away from where I found the original sample. There is also a large limonite geode (see attached photo)...

Thanks Jethro The microscope shot is highly magnified and shows 2 Sqmm, The thread formation is through the whole rock as I have broken it across multiple cleavages. I have also found this formation in some samples I had assayed in WA which had high copper values. This rock is from SE...

Hi all I've cracked open this rock, put it under the microscope and found lots of metal threads some look like copper but others are a white yellow made up of very thin strands like rope. Im going to have it fire assayed but would like to know more about the thread formation and if Copper,gold...
