Jargon in Today's Episode
- Intrusive related system: A type of mineral deposit formed from molten rock that pushed into existing rock layers.
- Alluvial cover: Loose material, like sand or gravel, deposited by rivers or other flowing water on top of solid rock, often hiding minerals below.
- Regolith: The layer of loose, weathered material covering solid rock, important in exploration to understand what’s above the target mineral.
- RC (Reverse Circulation) drilling: A method of drilling that uses air to blow rock chips from deep underground to the surface, commonly used in mineral exploration.
- Pathfinders: Elements or minerals (like bismuth or molybdenum) that geologists look for because they often indicate the presence of valuable minerals nearby, such as gold.
