It is very possible to miss rich concentrations of gold quartz when mining underground. As an example, I recently had the experience of testing a mine famous for its rich gold quartz pockets, when a possible gold pocket was pointed out in the hanging wall of the vein

Gold exploration in modern times which has resulted in the discovery of over 6 000 deposits was thus greatly facilitated by the numerous old workings Gold exploration in Zimbabwe has therefore been largely biased at rediscovering quartz veins at old workings at the expense of areas Inquire
WhatsAppعرض المزيدIron Staining Gossans: Not all veins produce much quartz – gold bearing veins can consist of calcite or mostly sulfides – which often weather into iron stained spots when the pyrites convert to iron oxides. Large amounts of iron oxides like hematite, magnetite and ironstone can be favorable indicators. Quartz Vein Matter Accumulations: At times, small accumulations of quartz vein
WhatsAppعرض المزيدGold bearing areas, mostly throughout the western United States, have drawn and sprouted entire communities based on prospecting. (See Reference 1.) Various hypotheses exist on how gold is formed as it surfaces in numerous types of volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Gold is mainly found in two types of deposits: lode (hard rock veins) and placer (surface). Locating the richest gold bearing areas
WhatsAppعرض المزيدOregon has a rich gold mining history, and there is still plenty of gold waiting to be found. Most gold prospecting in Oregon is done in the southwest and northeast parts of the state, where extensive gold discoveries have been made. Suction dredging, sluicing, and metal detecting are all good ways to recover gold nuggets in Oregon.

WhatsAppعرض المزيدThe Quartz Mountain Gold Deposit is near Bly, Oregon. Historically the site has been associated with the Quarz Mountain Mining District which is now part of the Fremont National Forest. Production output of the Quartz Mountain Gold Deposit was considered to be medium size. The ore mined is composed of tetredrite, cinnabar and gold with waste material consisting primarily of limonite
WhatsAppعرض المزيدGold‐quartz vein fields in metamorphic terranes such as greenstone belts provide evidence for the involvement of large volumes of fluids during faulting and may be products of seismic processes near the base of the seismogenic regime. In the Val d''Or district of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada, quartz‐tourmaline‐carbonate veins form a vein field (30 × 15 km) in the hanging wall of a
WhatsAppعرض المزيدThe gold orebodies are composed of Au‐bearing highly deformed and altered mylonitic host rocks and cross‐cutting Au‐ and sulfide‐bearing quartz veins. Approximately half of the mineralization is in the form of dissemination in the mylonite and the remainder was clearly emplaced as a result of brittle deformation in quartz–sulfide microfractures, microveins and veins. Only low volumes

As an example, I recently had the experience of testing a mine famous for its rich gold quartz pockets, when a possible gold pocket was pointed out in the hanging wall of the vein. I did not discover this pocket, but could see it was in an unexpected spot that was missed by the old timers. It later yielded
WhatsAppعرض المزيدGoldbearing veins. In situ goldbearing vein (in brown) at the Toi gold mine, Japan. In many Historically, handmining of gold ores permitted the miners to pick out the lode quartz or reef quartz, allowing the highestgrade portions of the lodes to be worked, without dilution from the unmineralised wall rocks. Today''s mining, which uses larger machinery and equipment, forces the miners to
WhatsAppعرض المزيدHard rock mining, also known as lode mining, is obviously the best method for finding gold specimens since you are mining the true source of the gold by following veins of high grade ore into the mountain. Unfortunately, this type of mining is very expensive
WhatsAppعرض المزيدThe first lode mine in Oregon State was a pocket mine. It was called the Hicks Lead. This small pocket produced 1,000 in two hours. It was later sold to a group of miners who built the first arrastra in Oregon State. The fabulous Gold Hill Pocket was discovered in 1857 near the top of a small 2,000 foothigh mountain. This pocket was a fissure

WhatsAppعرض المزيد· Lode mining began as early as 1859 on the Gold Hill vein in Jackson County; goldbearing quartz veins were also worked in the 1860''s in the Canyon Creek district, the Eagle Creek district, the Mormon Basin district, and the Baker district. The first boom in Oregon expired about 1870, but it had been strong enough to attract people with diversified talents so that other industries such as
WhatsAppعرض المزيدProfessionals generally obtain gold through mining or sluicing, while amateurs often pan for gold or try to find nuggets mixed with the gravel in creek beds. However, it is also possible to find veins of gold mixed with solid rock formations, usually quartz. Once you find one of these veins and collect specimens, the gold can be extracted from the quartz matrix. However, many people enjoy
WhatsAppعرض المزيدHampshire''s gold bearing bedrock broke the rock apart naturally. However, gold does not weather, and this allowed the more resistant gold pieces to be washed away by running water. Gold is approximately 19 times heavier than the same volume of water and gets left on the stream bottom with other heavy rock and mineral pieces. Gold found in stream gravel is known as a placer deposit. Panning
WhatsAppعرض المزيدQuartz veins are very numerous in most of the mining districts, so the task is not to find the veins, but rather to find those which are goldbearing. It is supposed that nearly all large veins come to the surface of the bedrock or "country;" but many of them are covered with soil and thus are hidden. Hidden veins are called "blind;" those plainly visible on the surface are called" croppings
