[QUOTE="jethro, post: 508473, member: 1297"] The rusty mineral staining looks interesting. Test where there is a displacement or cross fault of the reef. They may not have thought it worthwhile to remove for a number of reasons Ive been playing around in an old surface costean in a Greisen (up near where I took you) and getting out bunches of quartz that the old timers couldnt be bothered taking out. Im getting some good colour. I was up there again yesterday. Got out about 30kgs from various places along the reef including a section that is outcropping on the natural surface. The only reason that I can see for them leaving it other than grade. is that host rock that is mixed in with the quartz contains a lot of mica that would have blocked up he screens on the battery. I had this problem when I ran the last lot through the rod mill. Most of the gold stayed in the mill and got rolled so flat it wouldnt go through the screen. :( [/QUOTE]
