Buried Gold at Manley Hot Springs, Alaska

[geowizard]

Geowizard, How rich is it?

Value is based on Grade. In gold mining and exploration, "Grade is king!".

A high grade deposit does not have to be big. The deposit is located on a ridge called "Bean Ridge".

A discrete deposit is small.

The vein or (core) of the Bean Deposit is 60 feet wide along the survey flight line . The deposit is 1160 feet across (along the flight-line) using a 30 ohm-meter (high grade) cutoff. The deposit is open at depth.
As the helicopter flew over the deposit, the response covered five samples and gave a reading of 0.30 ohm-meters. Each sample is roughly 12 feet apart times five samples equals 60 feet.

The apparent resistivity of the deposit is 0.30 ohm-meters based on calibrated DIGHEM data. This low resistivity is exceptionally low. Remember, low resistivity is high conductivity. This is a highly conductive ore body!

Blowback Creek;

Blowback Creek is a well documented past producing placer Gold Deposit. The reason there is a response today is two-fold. Yesterday, gold miners left enough placer Gold behind that the gold produces a response in the creek today. and... Second, the old-timers did not find the lode gold source! Let's drill down deeper on this interesting gold deposit!

And now I'm reading this 45 years to late for me to do something about it ! I wish someone would take you up on this adventure !

Here's a report on geology; (from Alaska DGGS)

Geologic description
Bedrock at the head of Blowback Creek is mainly Lower Cretaceous sandstone, shale, and siltstone, along with less-abundant quartzite (Reifenstuhl and others, 1998). The northwestern contact of the Tertiary Hot Springs granite pluton and its hornfels aureole is 3,000 feet to the south.

A sample (97SL086) of quartzite with siderite collected by ADGGS on a ridge at the head of Blowback Creek contained 2,720 parts per billion (ppb) gold, 33.8 parts per million (ppm) silver, 256 ppm arsenic, 480 ppm bismuth, 8,740 ppm copper, 3,400 ppm manganese, and more than 15 percent iron (Liss and others, 1998). There has been extensive exploration by industry around Hot Springs Dome and at the Barrett prospect (TN103).

Note: 1000 ppb = 1 ppm ( part per million). There are 1 million grams in a metric tonne.

So what?

2,720 parts per billion is 2.720 grams per metric tonne. My calculator says gold at $4300 per ounce is running $4300/31.1 = $138.26 per gram x 2.72 grams = $376.07 per metric tonne.

Yards convert to tons (almost);

A Bobcat skid-steer 700 series loader generally speaking has a one yard (about one ton) heaping bucket. A sloppy miner can load 25 cubic yards an hour into a wash plant. Given recovery at $300 x 25 yards, you do the somewhat fuzzy math.

Old timers had to earn their gold the old fashion way;

Today, Gold exploration can be done using technology designed to get you on the Gold! Blowback Creek is proof of that statement! The Creek is surrounded with GOLD. Gold, Gold, Gold!

If I show you, you will blush!

So... I will show you!

As a bonus for those readers wanting more;

I would like to share a wider view across over half a mile width showing gold mineralization on both sides of Blowback Creek.

The gold deposit is two miles long using ten ohm-meter cutoffs.

Little Boulder Creek has been a prolific placer Gold producer;

Here is a topographic map showing what is located in the "high ground".

Is there a possible correlation?

TreasureNet Treasure Hunters;

Early in the beginning of this thread, we began to learn about buried treasure in the form of buried Gold.
In post #4, I revealed buried Gold at Manley 1.

It's sitting there, waiting. I mentioned that Manley 1 is part of a much larger "Gold System". The Gold system extends easterly from Fish Lake to US Creek and beyond. I have a topo map that shows the details (available on request). I have coined this the "Fish Lake Bonanza Gold". DIGHEM geophysics was used to define this extensive gold deposit. The deposit is real. The data is real. It's from a third party source. It's science based technology.

Edit spelling error.
