[QUOTE="Roscoe, post: 95805, member: 1615"] A fault line in a gold field is usually a quartz dyke that cuts through the country. From that dyke leads run off in the country rock which is made up of mainly slates, schist and shales. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1615/1408357045_10652875734_a980edd50e_c.jpg[/img] Here is a picture of a dyke running through gold country. This was a fault line and the void was filled with quartz. This is the most popular types in gold areas, but there is other types of faults. I am not a geologist but this is my understanding of one common fault line. :) [/QUOTE]
