A second western zone at the 911 Showing has a large quartz vein exposed over several meters with copper, zinc, silver and gold values. The Showing is one of many new large occurrences on Mount Sicker.
I live in the Foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. There's a lot of sulfide in the rocks up here. I am a brand new rockhound. This is cool to see because and I know what to look for. Where I live, the rock changes considerably within feet. In one area, it changes almost like a rainbow of different kind of rocks. There's a lot of pyrite up here. And a lot of sulfide; that's that red, iron-rusty-looking stuff, right? Anyway, I have no idea what I'm doing. But maybe I'll learn something from watching you guys! Thank you! 🙏
That is some beautiful looking ore. Very rich in sulfides of copper and iron. A quick bit of research says that bornite can be up to 60% copper. Would be interested in seeing the trace numbers for silver and gold.
I told my geologist brother: "You guys saying 'This rock is highly mineralized," sounds to us like, 'This plant is highly vegetized.'" He explained: "Vegetized with food value."
As I'm watching these, it appears to me you're also increasing in elevation(given grade changes in road, background scenery). Are these sample areas lining up with previous(you hinted at that in previous video)? Loving this series, btw.
