For anyone else unfamiliar with geo-speak who until now might have presumed Paleo Channel to be a television station devoted to Stone Age eating habits:
Paleo channels ...”are old historical rivers that flowed through the area, picked up old deposits in their history and they have old deposits on the bottom.”https://www.goldfields.com/pdf/inve...4/australia-site-visits/st-ives-gold-mine.pdf
That’s what Goldfields has to say about them . I read that company’s lucrative St Ives mine has 100’s of kilometres of such rivers of gold running through its tenements .
But so far Gascoyne doesn’t have a river or even a creek - it seems to have -in layman’s terms - a toe in a puddle.
But a nice puddle.
How scissors are used in a drilling operation with regard to such a puddle is a mystery to me but I am sure it will have an impact .
I don’t know about geology but I do know it’s important to use a stylist who has empathy to the situation as well as great scissoring technique..
And I am sure the contractor, NRW, has all that and more :
There are some images of the Dalgaranga mine currently at the top of the NRW Facebook page:

And some more press on Gascoyne Resources relative to the alluvial gold.
