[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 403945, member: 3820"] Will do Doug. This intrusion is about 20m from the top and about 50-100m to the side of where the main workings are at the top of the gully, the intrusion line runs straight across to where the big workings are where it looks like they stripped it out and there's piles of tailings everywhere just to the side of the gully, appears they were taking the quartz out and the bulk of the tailings is sandstone with quartz mixed on top, the workings run all the way down the gully which is steep(ish) and there's shallow and deep test holes either side the whole length down with sections off to the side stripped out, the deep test holes are right next to where they stripped a side shoot about 40 x 10 meters at the depth of that test hole in the pic, funny thing is there's big coarse sandstone rock piles that have been shifted to the side and a mix of fist size water worn rock in areas as well as the water worn rock in the other pic, any quartz sighted seems to be rough hence why I'm pretty sure they were digging the quartz reef out, the other water worn stuff has me puzzled. I'll take many decent pics next trip and PM you Doug, I'll explain the location and travel in etc. and hopefully you'll get a better picture of this area and help me (us) understand it better too.
