JGold Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hi Guys, new here so hope you can help. I recently purchased 250Acres of bush land in a known gold region in Australia. I found a large seam of quarts breaking through the surface. I picked up a few pieces to investigate, i broke them open with a hammer and found what looks like gold and coper? Can anyone help identify this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I don't see any obvious VG in there, what you are showing in these photos appears to mostly be iron oxides. The quickest way to find out if you have free gold in quartz is to buy a dolly pot and a gold pan. Or send a sample in for assay. You could have gold in there which you don't immediately see by eye. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Looks like typical discoloration and optical effects common in quartz. Crush and pan always a fine way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
