<<from a massive sulfide smoker deposit found in the Western US. Now these smoker deposits are very rare indeed. And the geological setting for where to prospect for these deposits are probably all known. They are related to what are called greenstones or green stone belts. Back in the Precambrian, I believe this one is Archean, a volcanic event happened onto the sea floor. It was at a time when the earth had not cooled to the extent that the earth is cooled today. The metals were or are believed to have been more concentrated in the volcanics back then. The Witwatersrand of South Africa is Archean, I believe. However, the Witwatersrand gold is said by some to have been formed by the erosion of the richer rocks of that era. Well my friend opened up some boxes and exposed some core that was composed of massive carbon and massive sulfide and some rock too..>> Yep, there is stuff in them thar hills. The Greenstone Belt of South America harbors much "rotten quartz" and I had written much on this. The Greenstone belt of Venesuala down to Brazil in particular. Cambior and even Crystallex are examples. Pacific Bay in 200 Sq KMs in Brazil is working in "zones of fault -related quartz -carbonate vein gold mineralization within altered Archean granitic rocks. " This rotten quartz is Crumbly in your hand, I had stop by the side of the road and two great pieces of such rock out for inspection; sizes 2 feet long and 6 inch wide, I ran my hand over it and 50% of the area of the rock CRUMBLED. I did this five times and that is when I thought about the term...Rotten Quartz. This was AGM Season'97 and it wasn't in Brazil...it was in Arizona -in Yavapai County. Could the Greenstone belt I read about in Canada and now Brazil all be GEO CONNECT THROUGH the AREA that you describ your friend mining? So this reddish stuff with white and yellow and brown is possibly related to areas where there are greenstones? Interesting. I like rock collecting.
