[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 653732, member: 147"] One thing I like to point out is in my cases I'm concentrating on what would be regarded as smaller shafts and reefs compared to the big major reef complexes worked for years by major companies. These large reef systems have had a lot of expert advice and resources put into them and on most occasions the surrounding geology has been test drilled and surveyed, so they don't miss much. Where I have found most of my reef gold there is shafts, but in most cases they are not named even though many are plotted on geological maps or registered in mines department records. The less effort put into them by the old timers the more gold they tended to leave behind in their endeavours to race from gold field to gold field. Stringer offshoots from these less worked reefs were not of much interest to the old timers, and as such give us our best chances these days where even only a few ounces will satisfy most. Most of the shafts near where I concentrate would be no more than 50m deep, and certainly no signs of long term activity. [/QUOTE]
