Foot/Hanging Walls have to do with areas where there has been Faulting in the Rock. Any Deposition into the Faulted Rock has a distinct characteristic as a result. A Conduit or Vent would not have such distinctions per say. But the rock through which the Conduit or Vent pushed itself through would create much Host Rock Fracturing and Faulting on a local scale. Mineral Deposition into this Fractured Rock creates Brecciated Mineralization or Disseminated Mineralization. Mineralization that settles into Faulted Rock crates Foot Walls and Hanging Walls. Regonal Scale Faulting also results in Mineralization as often does Shear Faulting. Where Mineral Deposition or Remobilization is invilved, foot Walls and Hanging Walls also result. To understand which Wall is which, think in terms of Gravity at the time of the Mineral Deposition. Subsequent Re-Orientation of the Geological Structure with in which the mineralization exists will alter the typical layman Top/Bottom conceptualization of the mineral deposition.

Thus, it is very good to see so many posters, over time, who are here simply to be here.

It is amazing to me, at times, to think so many Invest in something they do not understand. I consider these characters to be Gamblers (Day Trader types) AT BEST!

Good Luck to ALL!
