The reason the gold settles in the Quartz is because when Quartz is originally formed it is coagulated in a hot mess. The gold rises to the surface as a sort of Thermal cooling. So what you see as hardened rock was once a pool of hot, liquid.
The old miners gave the industry a bad name, but today with what we have available in terms of tools and technology we should be exploiting out own resources rather than foreign. The world needs gold and runs on gold, and gold is eternal.
"Just one years gold production using modern mining abilities. Is equal to two hundred years of using old roman mining abilities. I guess the government masterminds are playing catch up."
