I have no clue what you want from me and what this has to do with mining. We have an open pit mine ever heard of the concept ?
You want to think you are brilliant have at it but I assure you geology is not a discipline of science that I would rate as being a hard science.
You're even dumber than I thought after that comment.
You must waste an awful lot of time digging about nilly willy. Not a good way to mine at all. You have to be the dumbest miner that ever lived.
The first image is of a thrust fault with typical Fault-propagation folding. Faults are important pathways for mineralizing hydrothermal fluids and often contain valuable minerals and metals. They can also emplace cap rock onto petroleum reservoirs, and so knowing the structural geometry of fault zones is critical for locating mineral and petroleum resources. You didn't know this? Huh.
The second image is a Mississippian-aged crinoid called
Adenocrinus Nodosus. It is very rare, only a handful known to exist, in fact. Fossils can be used to determine stratigraphic position, which is vital if one is looking for specific mineral zones/reservoirs.
The third image is of a massive orthoclase crystal containing large tourmalines (one of your precious minerals). Note the size of the mallet in the image for scale next to the black tourmaline crystals.
The fourth image is red lead, otherwise known as crocoite, which is found in several mines in Arizona. That specimen, in fact, came from Arizona. You didn't know this? And you claim to be mining precious minerals in Arizona? I don't believe you.
The fourth specimen is a simple calcite crystal, the first mineral every geology student learns to recognize. Gawds, you are lame.
The fourth image is of sectional zoning in fluorite, another mineral found in your state, but is much more common where I live.
The fifth image is of a block of breccia. Breccias are very common mineral zones, and in fact, are often the pathways of mineralizing hydrothermal fluids, and very often contain valuable minerals. The breccia in the image contains gold. You didn't know this? Huh.
The sixth and final image is a small plunging anticline, a structural feature found in many metamorphic zones, which are important regions where valuable minerals are often found.
YWC It is clear that you don't know the first thing about the subject. Care to retract your bullshite statement that you mine precious minerals?
