G’day Guys,
I found an adit approx 75m deep that crossed over many quartz veins that went north south.
Why would they head EW when usually veins run NS which was obvious in this adit?
Cheers.

I'd guess that they wanted to intersect as many veins as they could, hoping that one or more might carry gold.
