RE:Diamond formation and sampling
RE:Diamond formation and samplingLearned something new about Gold/Silver type deposits.
If it is a steam furnace pipe that brings up the material, it will deposit the heavier Pb/Uranium first and then move up to Gold/Silver at a higher elevation.
So you can end up having Gold/Silver veins 100 to 400 metres below surface and then Pb and related heavier elements can be much deeper.
So, when they say the deposit is open to depth...you have to question whether it is all good gold/silver continuing down into the earth or whether it will start into Pb (lead) related elements that are not worth as nearly as much as gold/silver.
There are of course several ways to deposit gold/silver...so this is just one way.
Side note.
