The quartz reef is a metamorphic rock The study area is occupied an acre along the northern margin of the Varasanadu Theni district Tamilnadu Fig 1 In and around the quartz reef reef of hills quartz reef occur as a large folded elongated bands and the general trend of the quartz reef from NNW SSE to NW SE pyroxene to granulites
mining site types recorded are associated with re working shallow alluvial ground deep lead mining and quartz reefing The recent age of surviving mining relics is a reflection of the temporary and basic nature of the early gold rush activities undertaken and the constant re mining that occurred resulting in the disappearance of earlier sites

Direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from mining for green technologies need to be accurately and transparently accounted for as highlighted by a case study of Chilean copper mining
The main quartz mine was operated by the Anglo Australian Company later known as Fryers Creek Gold Mining Company from 1869 90 The mining relics at the Herons Reef Historic Gold Diggings are important in illustrating the ongoing and changing nature of gold mining and how the gold miners lived and repaired their mining equipment
4 Regardless of the method chosen to extract gold from quartz vein ore it is important to ensure that sustainable mining practices are followed Long term use of harmful chemicals such as cyanide can adversely affect ecosystems and human health Low toxic gold leaching reagents can be used instead of cyanide reagents for cyanidation gold extraction
