[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 663302, member: 4386"] It is more a case of "hey, these old workings seem to be in rocks with stronger fracturing/cleavage/folding" - then following these features into areas without old workings, or focusing in areas where more old but shallow workings occur within such a zone. A bit suck it and see, but overall giving better chance of success. But simple logic as well - if all gold-bearing veins in an area strike northeast, perhaps don't waste time on structural zones that strike northwest (it may simply be an irrelevant structural zone cutting across a line of old workings). However look at this relationship - it is fairly obvious that the fractures and the quartz veins are part of the same zone - so follow the fractures.
