A lot of investors that is starting in #exploration stocks asks: "What is the bare minimum that I need to know about #geology to understand #mining exploration?"
"Faults", "folds" and "fractures" are must to know!
Why? 🧐🧵
"Faults", "folds" and "fractures" are must to know!
Why? 🧐🧵
1⃣ They form important trapping sites for mineralised fluids and also hydrocarbons.
2⃣ They form important pathway for fluids to travel through surrounding hard rocks and tend to focus flow.
Below: "faults and fractures" forming in the middle of the "fold" due to bend of the rocks.

3⃣ These geological structures are important to know as they will often define size of potential discovery or scale of regional mineral system.

Also if you cannot get your head around that rocks, which are hard deform by braking or folding. Check out some of the experiments:
