Above: Left, core from the Keats zone, Queensway gold project; right, hand specimen from the Eagle zone, Fosterville mine. Comparison of quartz veining displaying relict banding from each deposit. Dark material at the bottom is relict shaley material. Such banding is probably an original texture resulting from open space filling of quartz sulfides and gold at the time of deposition. Open space filling is indicative of a shallow level of deposition for both deposits.
