[QUOTE="rc62burke, post: 172521, member: 800"] AtomRat I am not sure why you want to try to classify the different types of Granites?? I place more importance on knowing how the rocks are formed & the actions which lead them to be where they are! Granites are termed "Igneous" meaning (laymans terms) they are formed deep below the surface then when they get forced up through to the surface they form an intrusion, Exploration company's look for circular feature (on landsat imagery etc) which indicate intrusions, these intrusions or outcrops where they come in contact with "Metamophic Rocks" eg Schist, form a "Contact zones" which can increase the likely hood of mineralisation/ deposits, veins can be fromed within the granite & it is this sort of thing one should seek out, along with fault lines & shear zones. cheers Lee [/QUOTE]
