From historic riches to future discoveries: The Warroo Copper-Gold Project

In the realm of mineral exploration, few opportunities are as enticing as those presented by the Silverwood Copper-Gold Project. Located just 15 kilometers south of Warwick in Queensland, this project is a significant asset of QMines. Encompassing a vast 234 square kilometers of exploration area, the Silverwood Project boasts immense potential for Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) and Mississippi Valley-type deposits, hosting substantial quantities of zinc, copper, gold, silver, and lead.

Situated within the Calliope Island Arc, the Silverwood Project has gained recognition for its remarkable gold deposits, including the famed Mount Morgan gold mine, which has yielded over 8 million ounces of gold and 400,000 tonnes of copper. Benefitting from a complex geological structure, the Silverwood region provides a fertile ground for further exploration and potential discoveries.

Among the key highlights of the Silverwood Base Metals Project is its previous exploration by the esteemed Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ). As a result, the project boasts an initial exploration target of 0.8-1.0 million tonnes at impressive grades of 3.2-3.7% zinc, 0.3-0.5% copper, 15-25 grams per tonne silver, and 0.3-0.5% lead. Promisingly, drill results have revealed the presence of copper grades reaching as high as 3%.

Building on the significant base metal mineralization discovered at Grieves Quarry, QMines is directing its exploration initiatives towards identifying potential gold mineralization in calcareous or carbonate sedimentary rocks while continuing to target base metals at the Silverwood project.

Andrew Sparke, a renowned industry expert, has expressed his optimism regarding the Silverwood Copper-Gold Project. He believes that the region's geological complexity and the previous exploration efforts conducted by the Geological Survey of Queensland have laid a strong foundation for further exploration and potential discoveries. Sparke further emphasizes that the presence of high-grade copper and the project's proximity to significant gold deposits bode well for future prospects.

In addition to the Silverwood Project, Sparke also highlights the Warroo Copper-Gold Project, situated 50 kilometers west of Stanthorpe. Spanning an expansive 216 square kilometers, this project encompasses the historical Warroo copper-gold mine, which has yielded 13,982 ounces of gold, 21 tonnes of copper, and 901 ounces of silver from a depth of 40 meters between 1909 and 1992.

Denaro's 1992 assessment of the Warroo mine identified granitoid-related mesothermal vein deposits with exceptional gold grades, making them a primary target for mineral exploration. The Warroo Project is home to eight high-grade small-scale historic mines and deposits, underscoring its rich potential.

Of particular significance is the best drill hole result obtained from the Warroo Project, which revealed an impressive 8 meters at 13.46 grams per tonne gold. This remarkable finding further highlights the substantial exploration potential of the project.

QMines, in its pursuit of unlocking the full potential of the Warroo Project, plans to undertake a comprehensive data compilation exercise. This exercise aims to develop a digital summary map that will facilitate the evaluation of anomalous areas identified by past explorers, thereby aiding further exploration efforts. The company's proposed drilling of the primary sulphide zone in and around the Warroo mine presents numerous gold and copper targets for follow-up exploration.

With Andrew Sparke and QMines at the helm, the Silverwood Copper-Gold Project and the Warroo Copper-Gold Project are poised to make significant strides in uncovering substantial mineral reserves. The combination of extensive geological potential, past exploration efforts, and the dedication of industry experts herald a promising future for these projects, leaving investors and stakeholders eagerly awaiting the next groundbreaking discoveries.

Can Fossils Qualify for the Swag:tm: Tournament? just wanted to ask before i sent any pics of my fossils over-

Just to keep the scope of the competition a bit smaller, I’m going to say no single fossil samples for this tournament (e.g. don’t submit just a t-red skull or a crinoid stem or a fern imprint if you aren’t submitting the rock it is part of). That being said, rocks that are defined by having fossils or rocks that happen to contain fossils are more than welcome (explained below).

Also, I personally would love to see pictures of your fossils and will happily post them, if you’d like! Just no voting on them because I think it would distract from the rocks themselves and make the tournament quite a bit more complicated than I planned!

For anyone interested in rocks that are defined by having fossils that would be GREAT entries for the competition, read on.

(Note: I’m posting this on mobile so sorry for the long post. I’ll edit and add the read more tomorrow)

Some general examples: coquina is a rock made up pretty much entirely of the shells of invertebrate creatures; fossiliferous limestone is limestone with fossils in it. However, you can get a lot more specific, as you will soon see!

There is a way to classify certain sedimentary rocks (specifically ones made of carbonate aka CaCO3 aka the secretions of certain marine species) called the Folk classification. In this system, rocks are named partially based on how much of a rock is made up of allochems (grains, bits, pieces of STUFF). The other part the name is based on is what is the material that is holding these grains together. Anyway, a lot of the time, these allochems can be FOSSILS! Here’s a diagram:

There’s another classification method for calcareous (made of carbonate) sedimentary rocks called the Dunham classification. It is somewhat similar because it focuses on how much STUFF is in the rock, but one of the benefits is that this naming scheme is more specific for rocks with corals, algal mats, and other similar types of fossils/marine life. Here’s a diagram:

Finally, some rock formations (a rock unit or layer that can be defined and also distinguished from other rock units) are classified at least in part by the fossils they contain. For example, I got my undergrad degree in Virginia and there was a nearby formation called the Antietam formation. It’s a quartz sandstone that has sometimes been metamorphosed (that is, turned into a metamorphic rock) into a quartzite. Aside from its composition, one of its defining characteristics is the fact that it contains skolithos fossils! This allows it to be distinguished from other formations that are also quartz sandstones/quartzites. Also, skolithos are trace fossils left by burrowing creatures. So in this case, if you wanted to submit the Antietam formation to the rock tournament instead of a generic sandstone because you like the skolithos fossils, that is totally something you can do.

Picture of skolithos:

I hope this makes sense, and if you have any more questions (about the competition or about rocks in general) feel free to send an ask!

STROMIEC

Stromiec is a peak in the Kaczawskie Mountains. It is built of Upper Cretaceous marls, limestones and sandstones, which make at its summit a 200 m long rock wall with a few caves inside. These sediments are part of the geological unit known as the Wleń Graben. The mountain is covered with spruce and beech forests. Stromiec is visible from a distance thanks to the characteristic cone-like silhouette, and it's easy to mistake it for Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka although Stromiec unlike the former it is not an extinct volcano.

Interior Low Plateaus’ Cave alumroot  near dormant state.

Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora

couldn’t help stopping by this population for fun

this species var. is only found in the sub region of the Appalachian mountains ranging from the Ohio River Valley down through Dan Boone into the Cumberland Gap passing the cedar barrens of central TN basin into Alabama dolomites and sandstone hills known as the Interior Low Plateaus. 

this specific photo is from Red River Gorge, Ky

The Interior Low Plateaus are a remnant of upheval events caused by several arch events that caused secondary mountain formation along the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. This fraction of ecoregion is usually lumped into the Interior Centeral Lowlands due to glacial events being it’s primary cause.

The core of this section where the upheavals, dome deformation, and glacial weathering events have occurred in their own stratification really seem like they are a hotspot for these biological variation and local endemism events ( its honestly the part of Appalachia I am most enamored by because of how unusual it is.)  

 As you may know, the Interior lowlands of the North were pretty much smacked by the Wisconsin glaciation,Illinoisan glaciation, and of course the Pre Illinoisan glaciation which caused the upper prairie peninsula in Appalachia; but, it did little compared to the outwash and deposition events following the true glaciation events of the Pleistocene epoch and the rebounding and upheaval that caused glacial lakes to be depleted, platuelands to be formed, and dome formation/ depletion that followed. 

 Refugiums and bare rocks penetrated by prairie and Pleistocene ripperian forests in the forms of sandstone/ lime/dolostone gorges, cedar glades, and fragipan enforced fens in these regions were set into motion to eventually have population isolation events and high levels to low levels of endemism occurrences. 

This region of upheaval caused by the Cincinnati arch and the upper flanks of Findlay Arch and Kankakee arches which caused the creation of the Nashville dome and its degeneration is the very same that caused the upheaval of semi concreted sandstone from preillinoisan outwash and the upheaval of the nearly to completely horizontal beds of Paleozoic sandstone, shales, and calcareous sedimentary rocks. These are the Interior Low Plateaus 

The limestone of the province is marked by well-developed karst topography which can be seen in many different forms of formation, undercutting, talussing , and water weathering. Mammoth Cave National Park is considered one such location where all forms of calcareous karst formation seem to be present in some shape and form. There are even some subsurface tavertine exposures. When it comes to Sandstone formations I may be a bit biased to Red River Gorge, but many locations exist with sandstone cliff endemism.

Hallett Cove - 600 million years of history at a single glance!

Depicted in these photos is the stunning geology at Hallett Cove, South Australia.

600 million years ago this entire area was submerged in the sea. Silts and sands were deposited in a deep marine, passive margin environment and then, 500 million years ago, folded and uplifted during a period of mountain-building. This mountain-building event is known as the Delamerian orogeny and was the result of stress transfer during the formation of the supercontinent Gondwana. From my understanding, the energy generated by the impact of Gondwanan formation was conducted through the crust, allowing the plate to “crumple”, causing folding and thrust faulting. The first image depicts the Wave-cut Platform, which is the eroded limb of a massive fold under Black Hill. Those bumpy, black lines are actually sedimentary beds which are now lying almost vertically due to folding.

Between 500-280 million years ago, there is an unconformity. An unconformity is essentially a record of erosion, and the parts that are “missing” can tell us a great deal about what happened to the region between the time of erosion and the next depositional event. This particular unconformity records the erosion of the Delamerian Highlands (a mountain range) into low hills.

During the Permian (280 million years ago) Australia was covered by an ice sheet, similar to that which covers Antarctica at present. As the ice sheet moved toward the north-west over southern Australia, it scoured the surface and left glacial pavements. Glaciers usually pick up all kinds of rock fragments and sediments which become embedded in the underside. These etch the surface of whatever material the glacier’s underbelly comes into contact with. Because the striations are straight, we can also get a basic sense of the direction in which the glacier was moving. A world-class example of the striations made by a glacier can be seen atop Black Hill and is shown in photo #2.

Between 280-3 million years ago, Australia began to warm and the ice started to melt. Deposits of soft, pale glacial sediments and ‘drop stones’ (also called ‘erratics’) were deposited. Drop stones are larger rock fragments that are found amongst finer-grained sediments in sedimentary rocks and can be diagnostic of past glacial activity. Photo #3 depicts evidence of glacial melting as recorded by the Sugarloaf, a large, white, cone-like structure. The Sugarloaf was formed when sediments accumulated in a lake formed by melting glaciers. There is also an unconformity here that records the period where Hallett Cove underwent a subsequent period of erosion and much of the glacial sediment was removed.

At 3 million years ago, the area underwent downfaulting, which means that it sank in relation to its surrounds. This type of faulting occurs due to extensional events where essentially, the ground pulls apart and shears apart or detaches along weak points in the Earth’s crust. Then, the newly detached material slides down to fill the void created by extension. This sunken area is also known as a ‘graben’. At Hallett Cove, the downfaulted area was submerged in a shallow, warm sea. This is evidenced by the thin layer of fossiliferous white sandstone that overlies the remaining glacial sediments. Before long, the neighbouring Mt. Lofty Ranges began another period of uplift and Hallett Cove was exposed as land yet again.

2 million years ago, a thick layer of alluvial silt and clay was deposited as a floodplain by rivers flowing down to the coast from the Mt. Lofty Ranges. Further uplift of the area (which continutes today) has resulted in even more erosion, giving the formation its characteristic ‘badlands’ appearance. Today, this feature is known as the Amphitheatre. It has a striking red colouration, caused by iron oxides (which can be seen in photo #3) and is capped by a layer of hard calcrete, which is formed when calcite-rich waters permeate calcareous soil or regolith, precipitating as a hard crust when the water evaporates at the surface. It is common in arid and semi-arid environments.

Boulder made in Australia - by corals #marineexplorer by John Turnbull Via Flickr: Limestone is a sedimentary rock made when skeletons of calcareous sea creatures like corals and shells are pressed into rock below the earth's surface. This boulder on a beach on Lord Howe Island is an even more direct example of corals making rocks and reefs - a boulder that started as a massive coral colony, dislodged and eroded smooth by wave action. The skeletal bases of the coral polyps show up as a blotched pattern on the rock. I'm surrounded by hundreds of similar boulders in this shot.

Fascination About Rose All Day

Study presents the oldest reports regarding the record of Petrus copulates back to the mid 1750's, making it one of the earliest established vineyards in Pomerol. In the middle of a buzzing midtown setting, the urban red wine setting is actually electrical, along with loads of tasting areas and also working wineries peppering the city. This is why the region is actually famous for being one of the coolest grape expanding regions in California, with normal temps reaching the top around 70-- 80 F (20-- 27 C) and also falling to around 50 F (10 C) in the evening. Syrah wines away are taken note for having even more body weight and also attention than a French Syrah (coming from Northern Rhne) however extra vibrancy as well as quality than warmer regions like Napa. The top quality of Petrus and its red or white wine began earning distinctions quickly after the phylloxera wide-ranging wrecked many of Bordeaux. Sobolevskiy, who lives in Brooklyn, pointed out merely champion tattoo design grand expert Alexander Mikhailin could have performed the work in such exact particular. That plan lasted a few years, as a result of the hectic routine of Professor Peynaud. On the edge of ripeness, this little (2700 grown acres) hilly AVA depends on the western side component of the larger Santa Ynez AVA. The Petrus wineries are actually replanted at a pace that allows work to be actually conducted on a section of one hectare every 7 to 9 years. The goal design vineyard sits up on a small hill and is fronted by a broad grass.

Their target was to supply both rookies and also fans the chance to find out about as well as sample the red or white wines of several assortments and also types crafted from the Area's ideal vineyards. The following phase for Petrus opened in 2008, when the thirty three years of age Olivier Berrouet replaced his papa as the a glass of wine maker for Petrus. When this sort of clay-based soaks up water, it ends up being nonporous. The next primary change for Petrus took place in 2014.

Marble

Many marbles contain other minerals that are usually silicates of lime or magnesia. Diopside is very frequent and may be white or pale green; white bladed tremolite and pale-green actinolite also occur; the feldspar encountered may be a potassium variety but is more commonly a plagioclase (sodium-rich to calcium-rich) such as albite, labradorite, or anorthite. Scapolite, various kinds of garnet, vesuvianite, spinel, forsterite, periclase, brucite, talc, zoisite, wollastonite, chlorite, tourmaline, epidote, chondrodite, biotite, titanite, and apatite are all possible accessory minerals. Pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite also may be present in small amounts.

These minerals represent impurities in the original limestone, which reacted during metamorphism to form new compounds. The alumina represents an admixture of clay; the silicates derive their silica from quartz and from clay; the iron came from limonite, hematite, or pyrite in the original sedimentary rock. In some cases the original bedding of the calcareous sediments can be detected by mineral banding in the marble. The silicate minerals, if present in any considerable amount, may colour the marble; e.g., green in the case of green pyroxenes and amphiboles; brown in that of garnet and vesuvianite; and yellow in that of epidote, chondrodite, and titanite. Black and gray colours result from the presence of fine scales of graphite.

Bands of calc-silicate rock may alternate with bands of marble or form nodules and patches, sometimes producing interesting decorative effects, but these rocks are particularly difficult to finish because of the great difference in hardness between the silicates and carbonate minerals.

💜Amethyst Geode over 12 LB!💜 📖Crystal knowledge post: What is a crystal Geode? 📖 . A geode is a large, hollow rock, lined with crystals naturally growing inside the rock. It has a durable outer wall that is more resistant to weathering than the surrounding bedrock.  This allows the geode to survive intact when the surrounding bedrock weathers away. The mineral lining the cavity is often a scintillating druse of tiny quartz crystals underlain by multiple bands of translucent gray and white agate. Many are lined with more spectacular treasures. Formed in nature and by nature, each geode has a different type of crystal and different type of energy within. The geode helps you connect with your inner self, healing from within, as the crystals in the geode grow inside the rock. . Different Types of Geodes: -Volcanic Geode: The most widely known and sought-after geodes are those that formed in areas of volcanic activity. Voids in basaltic lava flows often are infilled with agate, quartz, opal and other material delivered by hydrothermal water or groundwater. Some voids are spaces occupied by gases that failed to escape the lava flow before its surface crusted over. -Sedimentary Geodes: Geodes in sedimentary rocks are usually found in limestones, dolomites, and calcareous shale. In these deposits a gas-filled void can serve as the opening for geode formation. Shells, tree branches, roots and other organic materials often decay away to leave a void for the formation of mineral materials. These cavities can be filled with quartz, opal, agate or carbonate minerals. . 🔮These beauty is available for sale on my Etsy!

Calcareous impact breccia, Im extremely jealous of ecosystems in temperate regions where extraterrestrial impacts occur on sedimentary rock and are old enough for extreme evolution to occur. Our impact In Ohio, although the cause of some strange disjunct populations and globally rare habitat, has no endemics associated with it. What is impact breccia? It’s a specific kind of ultra metamorphic rock caused by extreme jarring, heat, and pressure of large impacts. There are other types of breccia out there, but this one is caused by an impact and is always irregular and nebulous in form. The mixing of strata can lead to fracturing in the shape of the sharp jagged shards of impact breccia, these sharp shards shatter in different shapes/sizes and may be found in a distort density enough to weather the rock irregularly and a poorly deposited spatial imbrication of the mixed strata. Whats funny was that originally this impact was diagnosed as polymict to monomict mixing and was dismissed until much later. The strata that were involved with our impact were that of the Middle-Late Silurian, much before the impact, and are associated from Peebles Dolomite to Brassfield members. Other breccia is formed as secondary breccia but that's not what you are looking at. Uplift breccia(involving Ordovician), fault breccia, and transitional breccia( Lower Silurian= Rochester (Estill) Shale to the Upper Devonian Ohio Shale) can be seen on the site as well. These large scale uplift/depression sites cause some strange localized anomalies as far as microclimates, soil chemistry, hydrology, and tallusing is concerned. So it makes sense why we have disjunction but it would also make sense to have some endemic evolution. I suppose that's just wishful thinking.
