>A better example would be you find a lightly mineralized rhyolite exposed at surface, and a few hundred meters away theres a quartz outcrop with some mineralization going on. Inbetween those outcrops is likely a contact zone between the local host rock and the porphyry that intruded. Now say you drill down and you run into that alteration zone or breccia, now you can start understanding the shape of the structure better
Oh now this I understand perfectly. Makes a lot of sense. Obviously I know that this is just one "perfect" example and it's a lot more complicated than that, there are rocks all over the place after all and you're probably on the lookout for a whole host of things when you're out prospecting
>Also when i say (burned) contact, its not always literally blackened or burned, its usually the physically melted rock where the super hot molten rock damaged the host rock. Its usually very metamorphosed or bent all out of shape
Alrighty

This will be quite enough for me now, thank you for taking the time to explain these things a little. My thirst for knowledge is sated for now. Here have a funny webm, been wanting to post this but haven't found an excuse so I'm just throwing this out there. Will probably go to sleep now, good night
