[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 663578, member: 3960"] If you're after alluvial gold don't take too much from what the geologists tell you. Alluvial gold has travelled and therefore the deposits can be on or in any type of mineralised soil. We spent too much money on a course at a Perth prospecting shop that was run by a geologist. He emphasised the untrue information that gold is not found in granite country so if you are on granite you are wasting your time. We live and mine in granite because this is granite country. The gold isn't in the granite but the reefs of quartz and ironstone that run through it however granite is certainly the predominate rock in the area and it cost me a couple of thousand dollars to find out I was finding gold in the wrong place :( [/QUOTE]
