Mesquite Gold Mine high grade gold bearing silica breccia feeder vein with scale

            This is an example of the main feeder veins that brought quartz-adularia-pyrite-gold into the shattered gneissic rocks at the Mesquite Gold Mine. In this example, that assays multi-ounce per ton gold, you can see both sericite-altered and unaltered gneissic clasts in the silica matrix. There are at least four significant pulses of silica evident in this specimen. These nearly vertical veins ranged up to 20 feet wide. They have absolutely nothing to do with detachment faulting, but are epithermal veins sets along a major strike-slip fault system.
