The Stawell Goldfield

The Magdala gold mine is a major underground gold mine at Stawell in western Victoria, southeast Australia. Dr Anthony Morey describes underground exposures of quartz lodes and diamond drill core. Professor Chris Wilson discusses his underground structural analysis and explains the origin of laminated veins. See more films about gold deposits at GEOLOGY FILMS Channel goo.gl/0mw8Z4

Using the graphics to help visualize what was being explained was awesome.

No less than amazing detective work.

Thank you Clive. Your productions are so well put together and never fail to engage my interest.

[@GeologyFilms]

Thank you for watching. Your comment is greatly appreciated.

[@russiangeologist]

Thank you, very interesting story and very well presented!

[@davidevans9266]

Clive your shows are terrific . And working with you and brian cuffley was always terrific as well . Dave evans

[@GeologyFilms]

Thanks Dave. Brian was one of the best!

[@trevorwhat]

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this.

[@casedoumasr656]

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.

[@stirlingworden7607]

very informative. ...very helpful to me

[@ant-1382]

Fascinating! I wish I could go back and get into this line of work.

[@markhepworth7822]

Wish I could get into this line of work,absolutely fascinating.

[@GertrudePerkins]

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).

[@user_mac0153]

Unrefined Gold/Silver alloy is called Electrum.

[@haroldburrows4770]

Pretty good work

[@brucelonsdale8422]

Fascinating , great work.

[@GeologyFilms]

Many thanks!

[@stevestecenko7980]

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!

[@markhepworth7822]

Cheers for the heads up Steve,will check this out 👍

[@YaMumsSpecialFriend]

Fascinating 🖖🏼

[@KanadaVCK]

very cool

[@paulhuver8033]

Very good video, so is Stawell worth visiting to do prospecting with my new Detector?

[@user_mac0153]

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.

[@Drainslime]

Interesting

[@raulmontesinos1521]

Pretty good.

[@coloradominingcompany8526]

It’s called mesothermal solution!

Many Thanks

I live in Stawell

So 4 years later they have ceased production. Yeah extend the life of the mine they said.

[@user_mac0153]

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.

[@bulletproof766]

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

The secret is out ~ it’s all melted brick buildings of the past
