The Alaska Gold Forums

Slatco,

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I live 50 miles from Mexico. I can be "boots on the ground" next day in Alaska.

Fun Stuff!

Getting organized: I made a file folder named "oasis". That is where I store GeoSoft data files ending in .gdf After downloading the GeoSoft viewer and creating project files, the project files ending in .gpf will be stored in the oasis file folder. Expect a slight learning curve. Direct questions t...

Discovering NEW Gold using DIGHEM: To get on the gold, we need to know "where" the gold is. DIGHEM geophysical DATA is FREE. The data is found online at Alaska DGGS Geophysics. Pick your District and download the DATA. When you unzip the file, you will need the .gdf file. Link to an interactive Map ...

Public Forum; The unfortunate reality of a public forum is divulging info that is restricted to a limited audience. I have attempted to share with members of the forum one method that is used by major mining and exploration companies to get on the GOLD. The tools have been presented along with impor...

Tones are Data: The State of Alaska contracted Fugro and more recently CGG to fly surveys that measure where the Gold is. The data is like the tone in a metal detector. The tone in a metal detector has TWO qualities. How loud it is gives a sense of "quantity" and the frequency of the tone i.e. "Whee...

Mini; I picked up a mini last July to take up to my diggin's in Alaska. The mini is more portable and provides mobile communication as well as simple connection with only one power cable as mentioned earlier. Starlink was charging $100 for 50 GB of data with an option to add data at $1.00 for each G...

Ditto; I originally started using the larger "dishy" as they call it. It works great in the Ruby Area with little competition for air time. In busier areas like Anchorage, users may have lower speeds because more users end up cutting down on bandwidth. As with any router based access, users divide t...

Why the technology works; Many prospectors and wannabe prospectors have little or no understanding of the simple electric and magnetic interaction that makes detection of metals like GOLD possible. In 25 words or less, "Physics rules.". :o The rule of induction: A changing magnetic field causes an e...

Guys and Gals, Ask yourself; How do prospectors know where to dig GOLD nuggets? The most common answer is... "Prospectors use metal detectors." :shock: So, the majority of prospectors know how to get on the GOLD. Commercial Exploration Companies use the same tools. The tools use the same technology....

A Golden Opportunity; Geophysical surveys are intended to provide prospectors and exploration companies with DATA. The data shows where conductive minerals are located. Iron is a conductive mineral. The survey data contains the needed data to calculate a value that is used everyday in metal detector...
