3 samples from surface quartz outcrop from the grounds of the Ballarat university were collected. These were presumed to be distant to mineralisation. These 3 samples show 2 distinct types of quartz, with 2 of the samples having high CO2 levels which might indicate a relation with gold mineralisation despite the lack of known nearby workings.
The university area is less than 5Km south of major mines in
Ballarat
and only about 2 Km north of extensive mines in Bunniyong. In addition,
some old deep lead alluvial workings nearby appear to have been
sourced
from the university area. It seems likely that the quartz from the
University
grounds is either mineralised or related to mineralisation and these
samples
cannot reliably be considered as unmineralised background controls.
