Google is too dumb to let me put the list of news in this column and falsely claims that all my pages are self-duplicates.

Google's so-called "Artificial Intelligence" is an abuse of the concept of intelligence!

Sample descriptions and analyses provided by the site geologist

Listed in sample number order


Depths listed are the beginning of the interval over which the gold is analysed. Most samples were of about 1m length and there is no information available indicating just where the decrepitation sample was collected within that interval. Consequently even adjacent samples could be 2m apart and from entirely different quartz events.

The CO2 column indicates the presence of decrepitation peaks of about 400 counts in the 200 to 300 C region. Many other samples have low level decrepitation at these temperatures indicating smaller amounts of CO2-rich fluids in the inclusions.
