[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 169025, member: 3111"] Any pointers on where to start here guys?.. A gold bearing mountain mostly consisting of sedimentary sandstone and fine dark quartz veins ( hairline - 1" so far ) with vughs about 4mm open bearing tiny quartz crystal on the plates. Signs of dark "sponge" iron in the quartz. A large milky white quartz vein outcrop 3 meter wide x 2 meter high is exposed about 50m north east up hill further. So the string veins at the base may seep off this larger vein. Im currently looking for a much wider vein than the rest thats dark quartz or a dark fissure about 4" wide, and hopefully one intersecting it closeby. Theres shafts nearby but they target alluvial. Am I on the right track with looking for the "X" or should I start sampling the exposed quartz outcrop? By the looks of it, theres not one chisel or hammer mark anywhere on it, very rounded. [/QUOTE]
