GoldBellMining 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 I wanted to mention the rainbow 3 anomaly though. It is 2 1/2 miles down Ganes Creek from Baumeister Bench on the west side of Ganes Creek. Here's the geophysical signature: (courtesy Alaska DNR DGGS GPR2011-2) This is a deep non-magnetic, low resistivity anomaly. Ok so, from my new understanding... The Low magnetic resonating area (the rainbow 3 colored) is characteristic to a gold lode because it is a deep non-magnetic anomaly. This is because gold doesnt produce an magnetic signature? Not meaning that there is gold there, but the likelyness of precious metals ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geowizard 122 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 Good question! Structural deformation will create a magnetic signature. - Geowizard 1 The Gold Machine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldBellMining 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 So then, Quartz carries no electrical current vs gold that carries electrical current well. Which is not the same with Magnetite and Gold. Where as Magnetite will absorb an electric current, and gold conducts it . So any material that obstructs electricity ( High Resistivity ) Makes it more difficult to locate gold. I think!

GoldBellMining 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 What is the association between magnetite and gold? Also, I know that Hydrocholoric Acid will not effeft gold. Do miners use this successfully? Why or Why Not? i.e .http://www.google.com/patents/EP0408185A2?cl=en&dq=gold&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PQlrUeukCsjmigKltoCoDA&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldBellMining 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 I found this link http://www.zonge.com/PDF_Papers/GeophysicalProspectingMethods.pdf while researching Geophysics to understand more about the subject, and it really helped me to understand alot of the terms that I was having to look up and figure out the meanings of and their relations.

GoldBellMining 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 Sorry! Wasn't trying to junk up your thread, your completely right. I guess I got a little over excited about Geophysics, It really is such an exciting subject I guess I tend to over do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
