RiverRat Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'm interested in any information on how gold veins/ lode deposits become offset and how to attempt to predict the amount of offset. Anyone have information on this? Thanks, RiverRat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The words you are looking for are “structural geology” as regards to how faults offset veins and such. Every situation is unique, and the only way to predict is study the context very carefully.
