Earthquake Gold

[Goldfinger]

Hi Guys

Thought this was interesting. All we need now are a couple of good diggers.

And don't forget about the gold quiz.

80%, would of gotten 90% if weren't for that dang glacier question, idiots wanted to move the glacier !!!!

Earthquakes can also make gold disappear. The Fortuna Mine near Yuma involved a very rich vein. They mined it until they hit a major fault and never found the rest of the vein. It is still out there somewhere.

Same thing with the Congress mine.

I believe that "dead end" veins are common. Lots

of jogs along the Gold bearing regions of the

Sierra Nevada Mts.

By my lights this new Australian theory has a solid ring to it. I've often questioned some of the former theories of how gold gets inside of quartz. This theory seems a plausible account for the mechanics at work necessary to achieve that result.

I like this type of information. It makes me have more amazement for the piece that I found with the little connected veins running through it. Did they ever go into a mine with some electric probes and see how far the veins are connected? Now if you could just follow that electrical path and make a 3D image of it ... I don't know the real state of that type of equipment now.
