Today, we and our fellow Yukoners celebrate Discovery Day in recognition of the Klondike Gold Rush which began in 1896, and a monumental event in the formation of the Yukon Territory as we know it. We also recognize the vital role of Indigenous Peoples including Shaaw Tláa (Kate Carmack), Keish (Skookum Jim Mason) and Káa Goox (Dawson Charlie) in the discovery that kicked it all off 126 years ago at Bonanza Creek.
Snowline is thrilled to continue the legacy of finding large gold discoveries in one of the world’s most geologically exciting jurisdictions!
We recently hosted a fireside chat between Tyron Breytenbach, P.Geo (RUA GOLD director) and Rick Streiff.
We have onboarded Rick as a special advisor to RUA GOLD on the Glamorgan project.
This is a complete GEO NERD OUT on all things epithermals and the Hauraki district on New Zealand's North Island and such an interesting watch.
A quick history of the region shows over 15 million ounces of gold already mined from the epithermal deposits, Simon Henderson (RUA GOLD COO) and Rick Streiff together are the two key people that brought Wharekirauponga to life (currently a over 1 million ounces @ 15.9 g/t Au indicated resource and growing), and now they are working together again, less than 3kms north on our Glamorgan tenement.

The Haynesville Shale is an informal, popular name for a Jurassic Period rock formation that underlies large parts of southwestern Arkansas, northwest Louisiana, and East Texas.
It lies at depths of 10,500 to 13,000 feet below the land’s surface.
The Haynesville is an Upper Jurassic-age shale bounded by sandstone (Cotton Valley Group) above and limestone (Smackover Formation) below. The Haynesville Shale covers an area of approximately 9000 square miles with an average thickness of 200–300 feet.

Altougth I have worked alongside Dr. Peter Megaw for many years, wich has been a real pleasure, each and every field trip we take together, I continue to discover new details of each outcrop from the input of his ideas!!
And now Lauren , his daughter , has joined the group bringing the freshness of young geologists on her own side!
A >100 million ounce golden view, Golden Triangle, BC: Looking northwest from the surface outcrops of Newmont/Newcrest’s Brucejack epithermal mine (production and resources > 12 Moz Au) in an area glacial ice has just receded in the last few years to expose sheeted quartz veins in the southern parts of the deposit, within the lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. In the ridges to the northwest are the gossans hosting Seabridge Gold’s Kerr (upper left), Sulphurets (center upper left: gossan along treed slope) and southern parts of the East Mitchell gossan (uppermost right), which form part of the >150 Moz Au, >55,000 mlbs Cu KMC Au-Cu porphyry resource cluster. These deposits, which formed within the Jurassic Stikine arc, will all be discussed as part of the MDRU Golden Triangle short course at the AME BC Roundup conference in Vancouver on January (see link to registration in comments below).

Any Rio Grande Rift experts out there? I found this piece of petrified wood from the Lower Tesuque Formation (Santa Fe Group) near Santa Fe. Most of the clasts of the rift fill sediments are metamorphic and granitic plutonic rocks eroded from the Precambrian crystalline rocks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Some limestone clasts and red chert pebbles derived from the unconformably overlying Pennsylvanian Madera Formation are also present.
My question is what is the source of the petrified wood? Some of the black chert pebbles might be rounded transported petrified wood fragments if not from the Madera Limestone.
In my previous "meandering" post, I mentioned a visit to Blue Mesa Reservoir and a trip for a 50th anniversary celebration ...

Jeff Goldblum's most memorable line in the movie Jurassic Park was "Life will find a way." which I refer to as The Goldblum Principal. This is a romantic concept and makes for a good movie, but it actually needs the modifier "given half a chance." I illustrate this point in a practical way where different plants are competing against each other with varying degrees of success around the foundation of my antebellum home. Some of these flowers were likely first planted a century or two ago and despite intense crowding and competition with other plants and shrubs have nonetheless hung on. A caution is to be very careful when you move live materials from place to place because you are also likely moving unnoticed viruses, plants. insects, or even animals with them. Leave your local materials, like firewood, local; and don't take it or plants cross-country with you. Exotic animals, invertebrates, and fish also cause serious problems like pythons and anacondas in Florida to give just one example. To flip the coin, we humans have been responsible for the extinction of many species which we shood have protected and often only recognized their loss when it was too late. A degree of balance and rationality needs to be considered towards all living things, and we ignore this at our peril. This point that was often driven home with beak, tooth, and claw in the Jurassic Park series.
