I don't know about that ive already found rich reefs of my own before even working with Nagambie mining

[Beagleboy]

Congratulations mate. With your passion you will be great asset to the company.

Well done mate!

we did a whole lot of that today went to 4 big mine sites rock chip samplings love my new job learning how to map shear zones faults anticlines structures quartz reefs dykes etc. etc.

 

[Metamorphic]

Awesome stuff, mapping these geological structures is what I love but it is only half the battle.

Geochemical sampling from these mapping's for accurate gold assay's, is what they are really after.

But you know this

Cheers

 

[Hunting the yellow]

yeah did a lot of that today but great fun but learning and getting paid

 

[dwt]

Exploration drilling, cool HTY, locally mate, or are you heading remote australia?

 

[Hunting the yellow]

nar so far locally with you guys Nagambie mining

 

[Hunting the yellow]

did some sampling today with Nagambie mining im actually there guide as well as field sampler im there guide because the area they are looking in I have been there well before them about 6 years before them looking for old mines that are not on geovic or any other old maps so far in this area I my self have found just under 230 mines/diggings/workings/tunnels/shafts to be honest with out my knowledge the rest of the team who I work with would have a lot of trouble and time and effort trying to find these old mines in thick scrub most you can not see from a satellite image

before I worked with Nagambie mining I went to the state library of Vic reading lots of history and manuscripts of this area and then set out to find these mine sites some wore easy because they wore just 6 or so meters off the dirt road others you had to walk 1 to 2kms into thick forest just to find them when I find any old mine site that far into the bush I walk in a cycle around it for about 500 meters to find more workings if I do find more I walk around them as well for 500 meters I do all this purely by memory I don't use a compass or gps but I probably shod I've only got lost once and that was because it was a cloudy day and there was thick fog on the hill I was on as well as thick bush

here's some of the mine workings I found about 2 years ago but revisited just last wk with the exploration team





note the thick bush this is a trench about 400 meter long but the bush hides a lot of it

[Prospector B]

That looks like a fun job!

 

[Hiluxlou]

Sounds as if your a natural at your new job , all the best HTY.

 

[Hunting the yellow]
