Interpreting Old Mine Workings

[@laispereira5534]

Please keep recording ans publishing those videos. They are really helpful for young geologists ;)

[@GeologyUpSkill]

Thanks. The response to these videos has been good so I will continue to shoot more as opportunities arise.

[@MinterJohnson]

That is inspiring! Thanks Nick. What does the Ham's principle come from?

[@GeologyUpSkill]

It's just a neat acronym that captures the process that I go through when trying to sort out what's important (and mappable) in a mineralization system when I see it for the first time. Host rocks, Alteration facies, mineralization events. The "S" at the end probably should alse stand for Structure!

@@GeologyUpSkill Amazing, what a brilliant acronym! Then it is catchy and will come to mind along field work. Thanks!

Great video, Man. My friend Just texted me your Channel and I just loved immediately. Looking foward to seeing more content like this.

[@GeologyUpSkill]

Thanks. There are more in the pileline :)

[@jonathanmarshall2282]

More like this!

[@GeologyUpSkill]

Will do!

[@jonathanmarshall2282]

@@GeologyUpSkill any way you could look at lidar images of old workings and correlate with what you see in the field?

[@NicholasTate-k2g]

​@jonathanmarshall2282 Yes Lidar can see old workings even through some bush cover so it is super useful for mapping them.

[@jonathanmarshall2282]

Could you include lidar interpretation in one of your videos reviewing old mines or alluvial placer workings?

[@GeologyUpSkill]

If I have a job in future that uses Lidar, It would be a great subject :)

new look 👍👍

Thanks Reggie

too much dry information without good pictures, gestures to show and remember things by. teaching is noble but difficult.

[@GeologyUpSkill]

Ok. The animation are a bit rough in this one, but sometimes you gotta work with what you have!

[@QuadDerrick]

@@GeologyUpSkill animations was bit rough but, worst i find the missing of , pictures , gestures , for example at 1:37 you say about "Followed by another quartz sulfide event , and that quarts sulfide event probably had a lot of chalcopyrite" if you was to hold up some quartz and some chalcopyrite in your hands and ,some quarts, and , crash them together ,, or something like this,, something more visual ,, then ,my theory is 90 % more of your audience would feel it could be worth buying your book because they would have something to actually use out in the field that they can actually remember and yea, use,, that's worth something, to me anyway.
