[QUOTE="Village, post: 52380, member: 1900"] Hi Araluan Hill End and Morning Star aren't really classified as hard rock. In fact I pretty sure that Morning Star was and still is classified as an Auriferous Deep Lead, referring that that it alluvial wash. I agree with you dissection about creeks and streams but I struggle on the issue of the application here in Australia. Given the geological evidence that most of the concentrated areas of Au here actually lye on what is been deemed as being sub sea floor at some point is the geological time scale, opinions differ slightly. I think for some it may be beneficial to explain the characteristics of the other major type of deposit, which some hare chasing here, being the intrusion of Au in quartz and the convection theory behind it. I tend to leave things out, especially when it comes down to things I take for granted. May not so much on the convection , but the geological signs to look for. John [/QUOTE]
