Traps posted this on sgr board. If you read it carefully you cannot help but feel that the Jeep rock formation and quartz vein uncovered is typical of where gold is found. (Help to know that the Jeep was highest grade production also)..

Just read this carefully.

There are at least three and possibly four major periods of deformation in the Rice Lake area

(Sasseville, 1999). The resulting fold pattern is complex with overturned, doubly plunging folds

common in the Rice Lake Group rocks. The late Archean San Antonio Formation sedimentary

rocks may have only been affected by the last major period of deformation.

There are a number of major regional fault structures in the Rice Lake area. The major structures

that trend in a generally east-west direction are the most prominent and movement along these

structures has developed conjugate shear zones that splay off to the north and south. In addition

there has probably been thrust faulting in the early stages of the deformation of the area,

however, these structures are difficult to identify.

All of the major gold occurrences in the Rice Lake area occur as quartz veins or quartz vein

systems related to structural deformation (folding and faulting) of the host rocks. See Section

4.2 for a discussion of deposit types/models and Section 4.3 for descriptions of the geology and

mineralization on the Bissett Mine property...

The common denominator in all gold occurrences of significance in the Uchi Subprovince is that

all occur in structurally controlled settings where brittle fracture has created zones that allowed

extensive circulation of hydrothermal fluids. Major regional structural features (faulting,

folding, and intrusive related deformation) provide a focal point for selecting broad scale areas

for exploration.

It can clearly be observed from a study of geological maps, that not all structurally complex

areas have gold mineralization, and further, it can be demonstrated that certain parts of the

volcanic-sedimentary stratigraphic package host a disproportionate amount of the gold

mineralization in a district..
