Breccia Pipe19 Aug 2025 19:26
A breccia pipe, also known as a chimney, is a geological formation consisting of a cylindrical or irregular mass of breccia—a rock made up of broken fragments of minerals or rock cemented together by a fine-grained matrix, often silica or rock flour. “These structures typically form at fracture intersections where hydrothermal fluids, acidic water, or gas explosions cause rock fragmentation and brecciation. Breccia pipes can range from a few feet to hundreds of feet in diameter and are often associated with mineral deposits, particularly copper, uranium, gold, and silver, due to their porous nature and interaction with mineral-rich fluids.”

I’d say things are looking pretty good, no ? ATB
