Interpreting Old Mine Workings

A practical guide for geologists on how to extract and interpret useful information from historical mine workings. Part of the video training series "Fieldcraft for Geologists". Full course is here: geologyupskill.thinkific.com/...

Please keep recording ans publishing those videos. They are really helpful for young geologists ;)

Thanks. The response to these videos has been good so I will continue to shoot more as opportunities arise.

That is inspiring! Thanks Nick. What does the Ham's principle come from?

[@GeologyUpSkill]

It's just a neat acronym that captures the process that I go through when trying to sort out what's important (and mappable) in a mineralization system when I see it for the first time. Host rocks, Alteration facies, mineralization events. The "S" at the end probably should alse stand for Structure!

@@GeologyUpSkill Amazing, what a brilliant acronym! Then it is catchy and will come to mind along field work. Thanks!

Great video, Man. My friend Just texted me your Channel and I just loved immediately. Looking foward to seeing more content like this.

[@GeologyUpSkill]

Thanks. There are more in the pileline :)

Will do!

@@GeologyUpSkill any way you could look at lidar images of old workings and correlate with what you see in the field?

[@user-gs1jx5dh3s]

​@jonathanmarshall2282 Yes Lidar can see old workings even through some bush cover so it is super useful for mapping them.

[@jonathanmarshall2282]

Could you include lidar interpretation in one of your videos reviewing old mines or alluvial placer workings?

[@GeologyUpSkill]

If I have a job in future that uses Lidar, It would be a great subject :)
