..Grgy, Are you selling Gord?.. I am truly confused... Gord "

My entire page is red today except for Strikepoint. That's when you know things are weird. lol..........Sounds like you boys had a few hops down at the bird.. Gord" Flow visualization .like observing your bartendar fill a 20 oz glass , intense action...Thank Ross Pluton..

Hydrothermal fluids in plutonic settings are thought to circulate along a large scale convective path. It would be analogous to a pot of boiling water: hottest water rises fastest directly above the heat source, and at the surface changes flow direction to horizontal, and finally downwards along the sides of the pot. In a similar manner, hydrothermal fluids circulate upward and outward from an igneous intrusion at depth. Porous and permeable host rocks (those containing lots of interconnected pore spaces) allow this to happen more readily, for example, in a coarse-grained sandstone. Some types of rocks, like shale or slate, are extremely impermeable. A layer of shale can cause damming or ponding of the hydrothermal fluids, which can lead to a concentration of mineralization behind the impermeable barrier. Fluid migration can be also facilitated by the presence of lots of thin layers .

Hydrothermal fluids also circulate along fractures and faults. A which has a well-developed fracture system may serve as an excellent host rock. Veins form where the fluids flow through larger, open space fractures and precipitate mineralization along the walls of the fracture, eventually filling it completely. Fault zones are excellent places for fluids to circulate and precipitate mineralization. Faulting may develop breccia and gouge, which is often a good candidate for replacement style mineralization. The form of mineralization and alteration associated with faults is highly variable, and may include massive to fine-grained, networks of veinlets, and occasionally vuggy textures in some breccias. .........Long On The Greens..without prejudice, Traps7
