Using Satellite Imagery In Search Gold

[Renatsvarog]

Hello, I want to share my experience in gold prospecting, more than 10 years of experience. I am in Russia, writing through a translator, so please forgive my English. Satellites have given us a great opportunity to search for gold; I use a variety of maps such as Google, Yandex, and the Alpine Quest phone application. I’ll add a few screenshots of the screen and coordinates, all this is located in Russia

54°42′32.28′′ N 59°44′36.20′′ E

54°52′39.60′′ N 59°56′41.64′′ E

52°39′19.58′′ N 60°28′30.05′′ E

Can you please explain what we are looking at in the images & what is of interest to you & why?

Thank you.

54°29′35.20′′ N 59°59′50.19′′ E

This is a machine mine, there is small gold lost by industrialists

This is manual gold production, there is a high probability of finding nuggets, and there is also small gold.

I also use geological maps. Can someone add pictures of what mines look like in their region?

There are also high concentrations of gold here. such places of pulp collection as "sunk basin" "sump", and places of pulp discharge from the gateway "head".

I use Google Earth for locating old timer workings & then may go close to a location & then put up a drone.

I noticed in the last few years the picture quality has decreased

In the very early day of metal detecting (late 1970s ) in Victoria Aust. First it was Aerial Photo to find surfaced places. Google Earth was released (originally as  EarthVierer 2001 ) and by using Government Databases it allowed more locations to be found easier.
