THE SCIENCE OF QUARTZ

[Wangotango67]

Understanding how quartz forms...
will afford higher accuracy in finding more gold deposits.

Hydrothermal fluids ( hot water ) 
Existing Quartz in which new solubilized uartz can attach
Tempreture fluxuations
= Quartz crystal growth formations

Question is put forth,
Could a fissure or gap in a host rock fill with quartz over time from leached quartz minerals on contact zones to form quartz veining - could the right tempretures - heat from sun and water assistence allow for the formation of quartz ?

How elese does one explain away so many quartz veins that have no inception point or sign of hydrofluid influences from deep below ?

Has anyone ever come across a quartz vein that simply had no inception point nor ending - a stand alone quartz vein that gave no clue as ot how it was formed ? One could point to replacement depoists as the answer in which formed a secondary depoist and already had the quartz ingedients - but.... what if quartz does grw on it's own - could this allow exploration
findings a measure of knowledge in which to distinguish how the quartz formed or better yet, rule out non bearing gold quartz from ture hydrothermal gold bearing quartz ?


Take a moment and listen to the first 5 min of this video - gaina better understanding of how quartz can grow if the conditions are right.

Niw... it may not apply to the Rowan mine - but there might be a small chance it could.
When i think of the Rowan mine with the main vein influence - i ask the quesation - how far reaching could the main main have influenced the surrounding area ?

Could the main vein have created numerous quasi veinlets which may have gone undetected due to their weaker signature vs a large vein that is easier to detect through electronic resistivity surveys ?

Where am i headed with this post ?
Simply put, the art of detecting how far reaching a gold deposit could run with better detection methods of using electrified fields in which are sent downhole of an existing vein in order to send a n electrical field in which jumps to the next ( glass quartz insulator ) crystal that can be mapped or plotted on to a screen revealing the path in which the electrical field charges t ocarry the low grade current.

Technology is certainly avail...
It's just the ability of  - mixing and matching the right tech to cater to such a means of better gold detection . One could also usze the same principal of finding what ressitence gold is ot that of a specific electrical field and infusing the ground with this charge seeking out an imprint of where the specified resistence occurs -

I could see this applied to underground mining - drilling several holes and charging the area to see where the specified electrical charge runs - using the quartz signature reaction to an electrical field and perhaps using a two value resistivity - quartz and gold.

Open thoughts, 
rethinking the way to chase gold bearing quartz using quartz insulating characteristics resistivities  as a pathfinder - along with metals too.

I guess, i'm beyond the typical mag surveys whereas they're performed from above and fore knowing how much magnetic influencee fileds that roam freeely in which interfers with true readings. Connecting ot the grid -- host rick -  charging  a specified constraint - and taking those resistivity readings that cater to quartz or the mineral signature itself.

If it could be done and plotted in visuals -
it might look like - larger pockets or actual quartz veining transposed onto a video screen - showing the resistivity of the entire vein or gold with in .

Contrtolling the specified contraint grid - using quadroned off eectrical fields with a specified charge in order to discriminate from magnetic electrical fields - higher charged electrical field would do it.

If someone ever perfected this...
It would allow for greater certainty - finding quartz patterns below grade.
Some may think this is silly, but if one researches the success rate of current tech and finding deposits - you'd know that the odds are against the explorer - lots of hits and misses out there with curreent tech. I would say, mag surveys are great at detecting iron formations - but when it comes to gold and copper i would lean towards electrical signature looking for that conductive charge that matches the hatch - now... apply this to the insulator ability of ( glass )  quartz.

A pilot test in a raised sand box - filled with larger quartz rocks ( burried ) would be be a great starting point in which to map out the electrical path that identifies the larger quartz rocks and transpose these resistivities to a thermal graph or video screen. The larger the quartz rock the larger the imagery.

On another note -
If by chance the Rowan deposit could be a sedimentry ocean floor that shifted upright - it might mean the broekn piece of the sedimentry floor could be nearby - lying vertical or any position - if there is no volcanic signature nearby a gold deposit - then - in my opinion - chances are it's sedimentry -  it's either a case of, a geologist think in terms of hydro fluid development - or -  valcanic influence - or -  sedimentry ocen floor -  or  replacement secondary deposits ( rewelded )

The depth of the depoist could point to the distance away the connective sedimentry floor could be - a  500m depth deposit that has no other gold showings below - should force the miner to question how the depoist came to be with no ( tail formation )  inception point.

Thus, the depth of the deposit could indicate the distance away in which the connective sediment floor could be located.

Some may think this as, Pseudo Geology,
but... isn't al lgeology pseudo - that is until -  peer reviewed ?
Wink.

Quartz, if it can grow and crystalize.
I would think this should play a role in rethinking how gold deposits are found.
