First, welcome to Golden Hope. If you are serious I would suggest you go back and read a very thorough article written by Hoov about a year ago. I know it is dated but it is still relevent in my mind. Then read some of the more knowlegable posters like YukonCornelius, Brattymack, and Glorieux. There are others too, but this will get you started with good material.

I'm am techically challenged so I can't help you that way. You will have to bring your own pick and shovel and do your own drilling. Hope you find what you are looking for, just as we all wish the same for Golden Hope.
