[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 660327, member: 4728"] Yes there would be gold In it. Trouble is that there is gold in almost any rock on earth. The question is how much? For most rocks very little. Gold is very widespread in the earths rocks and indeed seawater contains very small amounts. Your question really is “Is there enough gold in this rock to make it worthwhile trying to extract it?”. Gold is usually only worth extracting from rocks and veins that have formed from magmatic fluid movements in conditions which concentrate their gold values over eons of activity. Agree with you it looks like a granitoid/plutonic rock, however such rocks form in conditions that would not normally allow for concentration of gold values. [/QUOTE]
