Did not know the association of zinc and gold in quartz veins.
Though know cu is often found.

Eric you sure have tramped through the woods a few thou times
and can dredge up memories of the history of many of the deposits
and mines.

MMGG is unusual in that faulting has by pure chance positioned
2 completely different (and very substantial) deposit types
side by side. High grade oxide zinc to the south, and high
grade silver-cu polymetallic to the north.

A happy occurrence which MMGG is working to exploit.

You are right EC.

A few years ago, I found a sphalerite/chalcopyrite rich qtz/cardonate vein.

Sent it to the lab and fell off my chair when I received the results: 7,18 g/t Au, 17,4 g/ Ag and 2,58% Zn!!!!
