Liberty Gold Mine Geology

[@lst141]

The intimate relationship between the professor ant the chalk board is awesome!. The lecture comes alive with the chalk scratching sound instead of a lifeless PPoint presentation.

[@L-Anded]

I dislike power point presentations very much.

[@allensandven0]

The sound of the chalk with rhythm , tempo then sharp crack of exclamation or end of paragraph … keeps the lecture exciting and engaging .. this style of educational experience can not be replicated online … I’m sure his influence and inspirational style of geology has spawned an entire new generation or strata of geologist.. !

The latest random to stumble on to Nicks work. I'm in the UK, have little to no interest in geology, nor the pacific north west of the USA, but I think i've seen at least 15 of Nicks videos now. Could listen to this dude all day.

[@a-square4085]

I stumbled on him researching Ice Age Floods in the Appalachian Mountains. His descriptions have great parallels for your side of the atlantic as well, as in the North Sea & the English Channel flood event. The Networks should pick up on him. He's a talented lecturer.

Great presentation. Gold mineralization is one of my past interests dating back to my time in Geology grad school and into my time working for Newmont Exploration in the Carlin Nv deposits back in 86-86.

[@mdean3801]

My family took trips to the area in the 1960s, both my parents were geology graduates. As a disinterested kid, I remember their nonsensical discussions about the landscape. Now I know why they were so excited. thanks to the professor..

I’m probably the 50th person to say it but don’t have the time to check down below...to add to Rob’s quote and sentiment at the end, there’s an old quote that says it all in one place: *_If it can’t be grown, it MUST be mined!!_* P.S.: much thanks to Rob for not being a jerk to people curious about gold prospecting. Gold miners aren’t exactly known to be a warm and fuzzy sort at the best of times but I’m no expert on how much of that is stereotype.

I've watched a lot of your reallly interesting videos. And I loved Rob's answer "How far back do you want to go? It takes a supernova to create gold."

[@briane173]

I only learned this recently and it blew my mind. The way it was created, gold is not only precious but probably one of the oldest elements on the planet. Most of what he pulls out of the ground is probably the first time it's been touched by human hands in the 4.5 billion years of its existence.

Thankyou to the both of you for all the wonderful geology information! Thankyou Nick always find your shows informative entertaining and enlightening. For many rocks with out back ground info are boring. You make rocks fun! You put in so much effort in to helping the common folk understand geology... If you are wrong about something we shall correct the info. But my opinion... you are more right about alot of this geology then some will ever given you credit for.

[@saintlybeginnings]

Excellent ending statement! While mining processes have & should continue to advance in safety & waste handling, mining is no different than any other life form (plant or animal) or natural process. We are pulling resources up which we need, just as plants, insects, mammals, or earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes or tsunami. Those minerals eventually find their way back into the soil, get churned and battered, decayed used or covered/ pushed back down only to find their way churned and pushed back up once again.

When i was a kid in the 60s i went to the library and checked the Wa state geology reports for gold locations. There were none. Funny thing was kalama was a giant gold mine yet it wasnt listed. Vancouver had a ton of placer gold the yukon people worked heading for alaska. I have never understood until i heard you say that you couldnt find any either. Wonder why that is??

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

The gold rich ancient river channels in the Northern California Motherlode were moving huge boulders and loads of quartz from a mountain range that no longer exists but was located where modern day Nevada is. This was 30 to 35 million years ago and before the modern day Sierras were created by uplift due to plate tectonics. Those huge boulders in Washington may have been put there by similar processes. Think outside the boundaries of the modern watershed

[@twodroll]

Nick, I drove Blewett yesterday. Just north of mile 171, I found the serpentenite and a basalt column next to it. Is that a feeder dike? South of that, I found round creek stones embedded in sandstone. That one area looks like a whole geology semester. Was I right on the feeder dike? That was my goal for the trip.

Strange kind of resentment you have there. You are, I’m assuming, talking about the mechanism in place that allows for prospecting on public land? Land that belongs equally to New Yorkers, Texans, Massachusettsians, Idahoans, Californians... all US citizens... and by following the very sparse regulations you can go on to land owned by everybody, rip it apart and muddy the waters to find valuable shiny metal that you can keep for yourself? Boo-fuckin’-hoo!

[@skeetersaurus6249]

The instant he drew it on the board (at 23:00, roughly), I saw his answer...the basalt eruption behaved like a river does now...and the gold, traveling the lava, acted as it does in water...WHEN FLOWING DOWN A SLUICE! The Sandstone-Shale layer junctures act like RIFFLES IN A SLUICE MAT...they are 'roughage', they are flow interruption points, that facilitated deposits!!! So, the scenario he was searching for in the video is one most-any prospector (placer) is familiar with...a gold deposit forced as a function of texture change...the boundary points between shale and sandstone act as riffles geologically!

Awesome and very interesting video. Thank you for putting this together. If that gentleman would have been my teacher I probably would have become a geologist. The illustrations of the lava tubes and the deposit in the shale reminded me of a still, each component has a different evaporation temperature and once it hits the cooling fins turns to liquid....the shale could be acting like a place where gold can attach to not only for the carbon composition but maybe is cools faster and gets deposited in the shale.

[@thomasesteb9589]

Like your energy its real, firstly rocks are seldom born round and with that how is it world wide there are huge deposits of rounded deposits ? 1- flood of Noah tore and tumbled the entire globe for almost a full year, as in total destruction of most all surface contours. 2- shortly following the flood event came the global ice age which hit hard and fast hence the N Pole finds in the receding ice and mining operations etc. So in a nut shell, the vast majority of the gorges, canyons and huge deposit occurred during the Flood event.

[@georgecrown684]

+Nick Zentner yes he is compltely wrong about that...rocks and minerals are ground down to smaller pieces in a river they aren't hammered together

[@utubbesux]

Nick Zentner Gold is very malleable and rocks are heavy. It takes a lot of water to move the riverbed, which is how the gold migrates. The gold is beaten by boulders and rocks and settles on the bedrock or false bedrock, and large boulders and rocks are slammed on top of it. it wouldn't take too many blows with a 200 pound rock to make crystalline gold into just a lump.

[@vicsglobal1]

[@johnmatlaga6362]

Gold forms a far more ion mobile than what people originally thought and does not require the super hot solutions that occurs in hydrothermal situations. strong debate on this can be found in geology books of the 1920-30's. They would point out that wire gold, dendritic gold has been found in alluvial deposits, far too delicate to have been able to survive an active fluvial deposit.

If you go there to gold pan for fun, be careful as almost everything is claimed. People get very sensitive about being in their claims.

2023 - did we figure out why the gold is only in the shale at those feeder dykes ?? It reminds me of the same columns a chemist would use to seperate ingredients - i bet the temp gradient in that type of stone is the key to seperating the Au from the hot mixture 👍👍 Nile Red sent me here 🥰

[@Risingnshouting]

I have done some mining. Most miners I know are great at pocket mining, but few can put gold in your hand. (Pocket mining = raising funds from ‘investors’.
