Unlock the secrets to finding gold in quartz veins! 🌟 In this YouTube Short, we dive into the world of quartz veins and their connection to precious metals. From bright white veins to weathered, iron-stained quartz, discover how to identify the best indicators of gold. Learn why massive milky quartz is usually barren, and how structure plays a vital role in your search. With a gold rating of 7 out of 10, we'll guide you on which quartz veins to follow and which to skip. 💥 Module 1 – Quartz Veins: Gold Rating 7/10
Not all quartz veins carry gold—but when they do, it’s because of structure, chemistry, and timing.
In this first episode of the Gold Probability Series, we break down the truth about quartz veins—the most recognizable feature in gold country, but also the most misunderstood. Just seeing milky white rock doesn’t mean you’re standing on a strike. But when quartz shows the right conditions, it becomes one of the strongest indicators in your toolkit.
This episode gives you real criteria to judge whether a vein is worth chasing—or if it’s just another barren ribbon through the rock.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
1. How Quartz Veins Form – And What They Mean
Quartz veins form when silica-rich fluids move through fractures and cool rapidly. If those fluids were carrying gold, and the conditions were right, the gold will drop out—often near vein margins, or in fractures nearby.
2. Why Most Quartz is Barren
Straight, milky-white quartz with no staining or brecciation? Usually waste rock. We explain why gold doesn’t follow quartz blindly—and why the context around the vein matters far more than the quartz itself.
3. Signs of a Productive Vein
You’ll learn how to spot quartz that’s:
• Fractured and rehealed (a sign of multiple mineralizing events)
• Rust-streaked or iron-stained (indicating sulfides once present)
• Near fault intersections, folds, or rock type contacts (gold traps!)
If you see a vein bending, branching, or pinching—that’s structure in action. And that’s where gold hides.

🪓 Prospecting Smarter: Sample the System, Not Just the Vein
One of the most common rookie mistakes? Chipping a piece of quartz, crushing it, and wondering why there’s no gold. The truth is: gold is often just outside the vein, in altered wall rock, along fractures, or mixed with oxidized sulfides.
You’ll learn how to:
• Identify contact zones
• Check for quartz stringers and offshoots
• Recognize surrounding alteration (silicification, iron staining, bleaching)
These are the real field signals that separate a dry lead from a real one.

📂 Gold Probability Series: Which Rocks Really Carry Gold?
Not all geology is created equal—and some rock types consistently deliver the goods. In this 5-part Gold Probability Series, we break down the top gold-hosting settings in the field and give each one a clear 1–10 rating based on how often they actually produce gold.
From fractured quartz veins and fault zones to jasperoid caps and silica-altered ground, each episode teaches you what to look for, what to skip, and how to follow the real signals—not the glitter.
Perfect for prospectors, explorers, and anyone using AI maps, this series helps you turn boots-on-the-ground observation into smart targeting decisions.
🎯 Know your rocks. Follow the structure. And find the gold.
