This is an excellent and educational video! Coincidentally, I recently started to collect drill core samples of rock. A set of three which I purchased from an eBay seller in the USA appears to be similar to some of the cores shown in this video; in that they contain veins of white quartz streaking through a grey coloured rock, which include tiny specks of a gold coloured mineral (which may be Pyrite or perhaps un-refinened gold/silver alloy).
Thank for showing that there is a lot more there then what the history thought there was .Drill core sample's really show what is in the depths thank you Cjd wash state U.S.A.
If you find this fascinating, then look into a company listed on the ASX called Navarre Minerals🥇🏆, (ASX stock code NML), they are drilling South of the Magdala Gold Mine(Stawell) along the flanks of the same series of basalt domes that run North/South that hosts the Stawell Gold deposit. Interesting stuff!
If you can dig an ore body near enough to the surface. The mining companies are digging it out two miles down. But it is a huge geological region that intersects a bedrock boundary with an ancient sedimentary aquifer that has been shifted along the bedrock at various depths by earth movement (tremors, quakes) and its deposits seperated. This seems to indicate that the placer deposit is now widely dispersed, and that the 'motherlode' is quite substantial, since the general stratum of the gold appears to be 'alluvial' ..the distribution of which encompasses an area of some hundreds of square miles.
They have took 2 million ounces of my gold (j/k) so far. The Somethin' Somethin' Mining Company has found another reef 2km further down and a bit over to the East by North-East. Its a pretty deep mine (around 2 miles all told). The Magdala Ore Body is a huge region of solid gold with little bits of gravy in it, so its not going to be mined out in a few years.
Using the graphics to help visualize what was being explained was awesome.
Many thanks
No less than amazing detective work.
Thank you Clive. Your productions are so well put together and never fail to engage my interest.

Unrefined Gold/Silver alloy is called Electrum.

Fascinating! I wish I could go back and get into this line of work.
Wish I could get into this line of work,absolutely fascinating.

Cheers for the heads up Steve,will check this out 👍
Very good video, so is Stawell worth visiting to do prospecting with my new Detector?

It’s called mesothermal solution!

So 4 years later they have ceased production. Yeah extend the life of the mine they said.
They have took 2 million ounces of my gold (j/k) so far. The Somethin' Somethin' Mining Company has found another reef 2km further down and a bit over to the East by North-East.

I live in Stawell
Is anybody else here because of learning about mining due in part to Reddit's Wall Street Silver movement? Silver to the moon.
