Tsunami could potentially impact 20 counties, 100 cities, and 70 ports and harbors across California. To see what areas could potentially be impacted by tsunamis visit tsunami.ca.gov/maps 2/

It’s #Tsunami Awareness Week! Tsunami are a series of powerful waves often caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. As tsunami waves approach the shore they build in size, their currents intensify & they become a threat to life & property. Go to tsunami.ca.gov for more info. 🧪 1/

Copper along a contact between gneiss and latite and open stopes. No name for this prospect, but someone did a lot of work back in the day. This was the end of day 1 of field work checking out old Mo-W deposits in the Mojave.

We’re way behind the curve when it comes to mining education and research. Hopefully we begin to turn this around.

Beginnings of a new project sampling W and Mo deposits of SoCal. We’re evaluating the age of mineralization and geochemical characteristics compared to similar deposits in across the desert southwest.
