[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 83522, member: 357"] prospector Barra_Mad is asking because he's studying geology I reckon if you take some time to document your situation you might get a solid response :) My understanding of sporadic veins or stringers if they occur seperated like you have explained and hosted from different rock often they can be part of a larger fault or one of the weakest ressure zones for a larger load. Often as pressure surges upwards the downward pressure or weight + gravity forces the silica and mineral solution to find the weakest link and push sideways. This might sound obvious but it sounds to me like you have a really good lead. I'd certainly follow the quartz but expect to loose it a few times, time may be better spent locating the load. Hope this picture doesn't create more confusion i couldn't find a good picture to explain but imagine that these drill holes are your stringers.
