Buried Gold in Alaska!

[Geowizard]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It has been said that there is more gold that has not been discovered than all of the Gold that has been discovered.

Here we are with Gold prices going sky high and Alaska has buried Gold that has been revealed using data from Geophysical Surveys. When Gold is detected with a metal detector the next step is to dig it.

I would like to open discussion on the subject. I am using data from a third party, it's not my data. I do interpretation of the data. The data produces "hits" like a standard discriminating detector. The hits correlate to existing placer mining operations. I discovered the lodes that created placer Gold deposits and I didn't stop there!

The lode deposits that create placer deposits are shallow gold. The Gold is "Free" Gold in the sense the Gold is free from the quartz or other host rock. Placer deposits generate a response in the survey system too!

Been thinking about this since you posted and the best answer I could come up with is trust. With so many scams going on these days and a lot of victims, people are hesitant to look into offers of what could be construed as a internet ad for a X on treasure map.... Its unfortunate but that is the reality especially when there is a cost to prospecting and there are not many left who can do it well. If I was a US citizen I would be interested but there are too many obstacles with working in other countries and I also have too many of my own projects that need time and attention.

Investors ask,

Why?

Understanding "Why" is simple;

"Magnetic and Electric forces are connected." These forces are the forces that are at the heart of understanding "What" we do and "How" it works.

"The recorded electromagnetic data are a function of the subsurface resistivity. Rock type, alteration, saturation, temperature, and other physical properties."

Now you know "Why".

Why Alaska?

There are only a few good references on the subject of Gold Deposit Models and the question remains, "Why Alaska?"

For those inquisitive prospectors haunted by this question, you have come to the right place!

The Big Nugget deposit model:

The Big Nugget Gold deposit has been there since the Late Cretaceous - Early Tertiary 65 to 145 million years ago. That is greater than one million lifetimes. The Big Nugget deposit was likely formed as most other gold deposits along the Tintina Gold Province.

There are on the order of twenty gold deposit models.

Tintina Gold Province deposit models focus primarily on Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS) and related orogenic gold models, tied to mid-Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous magmatic belts. Key defining features include reduced ilmenite-series plutons, specific bismuth-tellurium-tungsten geochemical signatures, and zoned mineralization styles.

From the opening paragraph of the Astract of the DGGS reference:

"The Tintina Gold Province (TGP) comprises numerous (>15) gold belts and districts throughout interior Alaska and Yukon that are associated with Cretaceous plutonic rocks. With a gold endowment of ~70M oz, most districts are defined by their placer gold contributions, which comprise greater than 30 M oz, but four districts have experience significant increases in gold exploration with notable discoveries at Fort Knox (5.4 M oz), Donlin Creek (12.3 M oz), Pogo (5.8 M oz), True North (0.79 M oz), and Brewery Creek (0.85 M oz)."

From Google AI:

"This citation most notably refers to economic geologist Craig J.R. Hart's foundational 2005 work on Classifying, Distinguishing and Exploring for Intrusion-Related Gold Systems, or his co-authored benchmark study with R.J. Goldfarb et al., Distribution, Character, and Genesis of Gold Deposits in Metamorphic Terranes published in the Society of Economic Geologists One Hundredth Anniversary Volume."

Page 1 of this reference shows the Tintina Province. The big nugget project is east of the Illinois Creek.

Page 5 of this reference shows a small elongate pluton. The extended outward regions contain As (Arsenic) most commonly seen as Arsenopyrite.
