[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 663582, member: 4728"] His comments would probably be true for the younger granites over here in Victoria where there has been insufficient time, metamorphic or tectonic forces to allow for gold emplacement. Similar comments could apply to basalts here in Victoria. most of which are geologically recent in origin and devoid of gold. Over west where the granites and basaltic rocks are much more ancient I would expect them to have had the huge amount more time to be subjected to those conditions so see no reason why they should not have gold emplacement. In his defense, perhaps he was differentiating between the younger and older granites. His view may have been to define older granites and basalts that have been subject to a large degree of metamorphic or tectonic activity, as other kinds of rocks such as gneisses, schists and greenstones. I can personally vouch for places in Victoria where gold is found in granite areas, but then I think that the gold had been transported there rather than originating there. [/QUOTE]
