Xasan Maxamed Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 hello Forum Members, I have obtained the attached image from an area that I want to prospect and need your help as veterans of gold prospecting to see if the the this looks like a Quartz vein? Please share your thoughts. Thanks, Xasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xasan Maxamed Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Sorry - it did not attach the file in the original post: Please find it attached in this post and let me know if the image looks a Quartz Vein.

Xasan Maxamed Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 NO It looks like a folded vein. If you do not think it is a vein, please advise what it looks like. Thanks, Xasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Wright Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 It looks like you didn't zoom in far enough to see a quartz vein there Einstein. Quartz veins are hard enough to see in person. You'll never find one using "Satellite" imagery. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The snake like image appears to be the eroded bluffs (lighter colored brown) of higher ground that has also been cut by water courses, would need better imaging to be more conclusive..

Xasan Maxamed Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hammer and every body else, I have attached another image of the same mountain. Please review where the arrow is pointing and advise what it is or looks like. It also appears to me a volcanic crator in the image. Please advise what it looks to you.

Sorry - i am techie challanged. For some reason, it won't attach files if there are space in the directory or if the directory long enough: C:\Documents and Settings\maxamex\My Documents.

Guest Potholes Bob-NM Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 If the satellite image makes you curious enough to try a new and remote area, who knows, you just might find a good spot....Gold Is Where You Find It ! :icon_mrgreen: Cheers!

garimpo Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Xasan....if your going to mess around with very many of those satellite images I hope you have deep pockets....the last ones I bought were in 1994-95 and then they were more than $100.00ea. My suggestion to you would be to try the commercial version of Google Earth...it would be at least less expensive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garimpo, I use this website, geonames.org, and they have additional locality names than google earth based on the country that you are prospecting.

The commercial version has the same "pictures" as the free version. The images aren't any better to Xasam, You really need to go to the field and check the area for yourself. Like I said, you are not zoomed in far enough. What you are looking at is a river, not a vein. You can't publicly obtain satellite maps that will show a vein unless it is 50' wide.
