I Thought this article was interesting enough… to share with everyone…
As science moves forward, here is a new twist in high technology to find AU and other mineral deposits.

Our advantage….
Our advantage is firmly rooted in the search of our solar system and of deep space. Developing technology has made great advances in seeing subterraneous deposits of ore on planets in deep space using common chemistry periodic tables, and spectral analysis and X-ray, Spectroscopy as well as, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers.. These x-ray instruments are used routinely, as a relatively non-destructive chemical analyses of rocks, minerals, sediments. These same technologies have also been used "pointed earth bound"… mapping our globe via satellite. These maps do exist…in our Government and the larger mining concerns… but, are hidden as if they were Aces in a very high stake poker game.
Most of us build our viewpoint and fundamental understanding of prospecting by the use of historic information…
As we pick through history and old AU tailings piles, looking for historic mistakes, and totally misted areas by miners of long ago. We all hope that armed with our new high tech PI & VLF Detectors that we can see through the Terra firma like Superman and sees what they missed! All of us know "even today"… it is so easy to miss targets… There is a long list of many reasons from… Mineralization, Trash, Hot Rocks, and then…. Blackberry bushes, Snakes, ticks, all these are distractions that distract us and cause us to miss things… That is a given…because we are all human… the fact is… either today or way back in the 1800's: "To error is human!" Because of that known variable……Today we still all hope that one miners historic mistake… is another miners present pay day!!!!
Geology is a global mineral map of time and events…
seeing and mapping these mineral deposits and their movement across of our earth's crust and understanding how mineral's like AU are exactly deposited where they are located… "Gold is where you find it!" Long before gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill no one had any idea where gold was and where it wasn't. Those deposits were all located the old fashioned way ~ without the aid of Satellite spectral analysis and X-ray Spectroscopy & X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and without PI & VLF Detectors. Just trial and error "back breaking basic prospecting" one pan at a time…mapping the streams and valleys and working up hill to the source.
Yet, like today… there were High Tech Break throughs even in the 1800's
Many years ago I found a book written by George Hearst a wealthy American businessman and United States Senator, who also was the father of newspaperman William Randolph Hearst. George wrote a very high tech historic book… A book written by a very successful prospector that he called "Ore Deposits Related to Structural Features". That book helped prove to me… that people who think outside the box expanding all available information can create a new perspective that advances deeper understanding leading to major discoveries. All without any help from deep space technologies. The advantages we all have today is light years beyond the comprehension of miners back in the 1800's. If the miners back in the 1800's had the advanced tools that we have today; Our historic map of Gold discoveries that we see today would show a much larger Mother Load and many more major gold & silver discoveries !
Today we have everything at our fingertips….Any person that wants to… look at the physical signs of bedrock Related to Structural Features can do that from high above the stratosphere or 500 feet above the ground… on Google Earth and also on GPS topographic maps… Today we can see further and deeper beneath the ground than any miner ever could back in the 1800's. We have a real advantage that the miners of the past never had. We are very fortunate!
I believe, that even though history has painted a picture of where all the historic gold deposits have been located… A real advantage I believe that is only part of the picture…. As with all mineral deposits ~ they are scattered… some exposed and some just beneath the surface… some discovered and some still yet to be discovered! hidden…. in areas where we wouldn't even expect it ~ outside general areas where these historic deposits have been located.
It has been said… "That all of the easy gold is gone…." But, today, We have an advantages that the miners of the past never had…. We have these incredible tools to use to look at the bigger picture and expand our ability to go where no miner has gone before… but first… we must all think outside of the box.
