Mining geologists are a totally different breed from “Research and Educational” geologists. What an enjoyable video

I love this new style. Great production also.

Absolutely GROOVY...yeah I’m 72 ,..still talk like that haha 😆 thanks so much nick!!

Very interesting, always good to get the recollections of those who've seen this stuff first hand down. Thanks for putting these videos together - your collective series over the lat 15 months has been a real boon in these crazy times.

An excellent teacher meets an excellent teacher, and we profit from it. The mention of ruby silver was a surprise, I’d love to obtain samples. Thanks for another great video, Nick!!!

I wanted to do exploration Geology when I was in school and I ended up doing food engineering. This was a great video for my former self. The joy of the treasure hunt part of geology is pretty much the most fun a guy can have. Thank you thank you!!!!

More joy for us Townies, thanks Nick and Tom

I Really enjoyed these clips of Tom and his practical Geology.

Nick, I am fascinated with watching the Iceland volcano. Mainly because of your lecture about the Washington basalt flows. The current situation helps to visualize how that can happen!!! 🙏🙏🙏 I know off topic but wanted to share 😉🙏🥰

I see 68 likes for this video. For me this has the highest value ever. A guy who is working gold and does not go for the scientific approach at all. He knows where it is and not how it got there. Very rewarding listening. He says does not go to molybdenite down low and the gold Peter's out. Does not know if reef extends to Liberty mine at all. He says gold intrusion in early 40bp going swiftly to not from another magma source which tells me it is magmatic.

Awesome video. It's so enjoyable to hear the historical and economic side of local geology. Tom has such a commanding knowledge and a really engaging way to communicate his enthusiasm.

Love to listen to the practical side of geology as well as the big picture stuff. Thanks for letting us tag along.

I had a vague idea there'd been gold mining there. Pretty darned interesting questions and explanations.. which evolved into hilarity. Who knew geology would be so mysterious, exciting, and fun?!

This made my day. Love from Wenatchee

I used to run up to Wenatchee to pick up apples around 1996 and I remember the mine up I guess north of town.

Wow that was cool. We need some more stuff with Tom. I enjoyed the visit immensely.

Nick, thank you for the video. I worked with these people off and on during my time there. Always an interesting bunch. Keep up the great videos. So interesting.

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting.

What a great chat. Thanks for posting this Nick.

Dang, great talk and meeting! Tom's handwriting would make a great font as it's unique. Cheers!

Tom was captivating. Enjoyed the video very much. Imagine Tom "subbing" for Nick for one class .. lol

Thankyou already at 3 minutes. Several times wished to hear parts edited out it is so very wonderfully that you spread this knowledge.

Gold and chanterelles two of my favorite hobbies lol! Great video!

Miners are different kinds of cats for sure! Great stuff! Especially gold miners!

That was a pleasure. Thanks Nick et. al.

Cool! Another field trip! Love the diagrams! It really helps when you show the peaks, along with the diagrams. Gives me a better sense of how it all goes together and what to look for! Again, thanks Nick, Jeff and especially Tom for bringing us along for this!

Mt mom and dad's property of about 110 acres is just south of Stemilt on the Malaga Slide, and I recall that someone leased their mineral rights for a couple of years while this mining operation and exploration was going on.

his maps sure helped me understand what he was telling us. The students looked a little shell shocked at first. Thx to all involved.

Super interesting. Thank You.

Amazing info and linkage ,fault zones ,minerals and gold flecks per ton cool reefs too...thanks nick !

Thank you for sharing this trip!

Very interesting, thanks

Good lesson, Nick. Appreciate seeing you all, again. I always enjoy watching your program and have watch several of your videos. Good luck to YOU and your students. I hope to meet you someday. I want to take a pic of a creek with sheer walls. That look like layer of Volcanic ash from Mt Baker going back many years. I have even found small pieces of petrified wood that you can almost see through and also have the growth rings.

This is awesome, thank you for the video.

Thanks for what you do.

This was a great video to hear!

This is amazing.

Thanks for the great field classes 32 and 33 fun abd interesting.

Love Tom!

Refreshing ;)

I heard them talk about Silicification so many times I finally had to google it to find what they were talking about

Rewatching the A to Z series and getting a lot out of it...curious about your tasting notes on the Cayuse Syrah you received as a gift... Thanks again! PPS: Does it go well with meatloaf for breakfast?

Hey! I know that guy! Good guy :)

sp? solysification. I've heard this term several times in this video. Couldn't find a definition with Google. What does it mean, please?

Does the Eagle Creek Structure slope due to the weight of the CRB? Or the accretion of Siletzia? Very cool video Nick!

I hope those young ladies can appreciate the great learning opportunity they had here. But they can’t possibly be your college students, can they? I can’t possibly be *that* old! Oh wait, maybe I can… 😉

Youngsters, don't let go of your analogue skills.

Interesting stuff indeed. UK.

Where were your Geol-351 students? Best field trip was last...

Hey now don't hate on North Dakota 😂 just having hills doesn't mean there is nothing..hills are nothing too

Tom Alexander sounds like a major stoner haha

Plasma injected metals. Came from space. Crazy , huh?

Twice I have provided a link to the genesbmx webpage that gives a very comprehensive history of gold in the Wenatchee area and of the Cannon Mine, including pictures, sources of more information, and links to other sites on this topic. Both times the comment has been deleted very quickly. If this current comment gets deleted, then I will really be angry. I am trying to be helpful. I have no connection to genesbmx.
