Danville is East of San Francisco maybe 20 or so miles as the crow fly's.. Are there any old underground mines in that area? Cheers. |

who knows what the Gov. is up to Wiggo, I think most mining is done farther east of us near Nevada . But Mnt. Diablo , I spent a night up there in the 90's for the biggest star shower of my life, froze my butt off but it was worth it. |

I wasn't thinking anything about governments Grant, but over here the shakes that we do get are mostly caused by old mine workings collapsing in on themselves. Cheers. |

Well I hope most of those days are over Wiggo even gold mines now are doing open stripping these days. I know of one copper mind that gets a lot of gold and copper both out of the same hole. |

You may be on to something. I found that there was a gold, silver, and copper mine in the area in 1865. Not exactly where the quakes were, but there could have been other less documented mines. ![]() |

7.5 Quake rattles Papua New Guinea A magnitude-7.5 earthquake struck the Pacific country of Papua New Guinea, the US Geological survey says. The quake hit early on Monday morning in a central region of the country's main island of New Guinea at a depth of 35 kilometres. About a half an hour later a second earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 in the same area with a depth of 39 kilometres. There were no immediate reports of damage. |

Gold here sure but copper I'm not sure about. Copper and gold in Arizona and New Mexico. if the one that I was at ever craps out in Arizona has a place to dump garbage for 200+ years maybe even longer. Or one hell of a swimming pool. LOL |
