[QUOTE="loamer, post: 22211, member: 981"] From report: "Geology and Mineralisation Regionally, Silurian age acid to intermediate volcanics, volcaniclastic sediments and limestones are bounded to the south by the Young Granite Batholith of Devonian age. To the north of this sequence are late Devonian sediments." To interpret this remember, there is a relationship between certain rock types and gold. [b]Generally[/b], we should look at sedimentary and metamorphic rocks primarily rocks of the ordovician or silurian age. To tone this down even more, palaeozoic is an era, ordovician and silurian are two of the 6 ages of that era. We are talking 40 - 60 million years ago. This is why, when looking at geological maps, we generally look for these two ages. The devonian age mentioned in the report is right on the edge, just after the silurian age. So the mining company is in the right area, geologically speaking. [/QUOTE]
