Clz – Not All Laterites are Created Equal Wed 25 Feb 2015 5:30pm – 6:30pm Museum of the Goldfields Presented by David Nixon, Exploration Geologist One of the common questions asked by prospectors looking at a geology map is: what rock has the gold in it? The answer is Czl, this is the geology map code for laterite. Usually the prospector will return frustrated and with nothing to show for their efforts after working a patch of laterite. Why is it that some laterites contain abundant gold and some contain nothing? David Nixon, a Senior Exploration Geologist who currently works in an around Kalgoorlie, will explain what is it about the physical properties of gold and the features in the natural environment that the prospector can use to find gold easier.
