[QUOTE="Ditch, post: 303945, member: 9183"] G`day AtomRat, Looks like you may be right about the limestone. Had a good read of a Exploration survey for the area from 1982. Seems there is limestone at depth, explains why the sample was on top of the overburden. According to the report the limestone has been altered to Jasper at the surface which is full of quartz veins. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9183/1485321511_untitled_2.jpg[/img] Also a high possibility that the intrusion is Chlorite. From a 1984 survey. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9183/1485321631_untitled.jpg[/img] Going out for a dig tomorrow, will let you know how I go. Cheers, Ditch [/QUOTE]
