PG-Prospecting Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yep the gold pyrite belt runs in north east southwest trend, this also leads to the gold bearing veins running in a NE-SW trend as well. Most of the early mining started as placer mining and eventually turned into hardrock. So while the MRDS descriptions may say underground or hard rock for most of the sites, almost every mine site in VA was also placer mined at one point or another. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
