Heavy Mineralization - Are we Close? What Oxides are here?

[pleiade]

Just came back from our new claim sites. We found lot's of quartz with heavy mineralization which yes we can see has iron oxide,
but then we also found red and yellow oxides. Also reddish crystals in along with the quartz.. Here are a few of the samples and hope someone can tell if our indicators look good for being close...

The area has decomposed granite --- and first assays showed down at the low part of the claim a 0.02 au and higher up 0.20 au -- No clear visable gold has been found yet but we hope there is something there...! Hope to hear from you experts!

"Also reddish crystals"... If you can isolate/remove a crystal to allow a razor blade to be scraped along the faces(sides), you'll probably find its just surface
coloration. If color runs through the crystal, you may have something of value on the rock/minerals collectors market. As for the assays, if you were following
standard sampling procedures, you are way ahead of us in finding value at your claim. Good luck and keep posting developments!!

The yellowish color MAY be chalcopyrite. The red color might be limonite or hemetite, both usually found with iron oxide. Possibly. TTC

Crush part of it, run it through a 20 or 30 mesh screen and pan the dust. You would be amazed at the gold in some of those rocks, even if you can't see the gold on the rock. Watch for a fine yellow line on the edge of the black sand; the gold may be so small that it shows up only when buddying up with the rest of them. If you find gold in it, consider filing a lode claim. TKC (Then call me!)

Looks promising.

Follow the vein. Try to find a dip in it.
