Emcee: POLARBEAR	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

METAMORPHIC? PRECIPITATE? GABBRO? DIORITE? STRATABOUND MASSIVE SULPHIDES? PORPHYRY? INDUCED POLARIZATION?

Is IGNEOUS a smart person?
MAGMATIC SEGREGATION--pulling magnets apart?
Is GNEISS a kind of dark beer?

Well you guys get my point. Lets start a thread where we can discuss mining terms, and hopefully our resident chemists and geologists can clarify some of the lingo flying around here.

ps. I've heard that SALTING is bad for your blood pressure. Is this true?
