[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 647825, member: 147"] Great to see "some" people picking at straws....Virtually all gold is derived from "Primary" gold and is then given a secondary name depending on where it ends up. Alluvial gold is given this term when it has been deposited and moved by water in streams and does not mean it originated within the watercourse. Eluvial gold is disintegration of rock and gold at the site where it originates...not there through water movement alone but also other forces such as gravity. It's essentially primary gold which generally hasn't travelled far from its original source. I won' talk about Colluvial gold as it is not what is talked about in the thread. If Goldierocks wishes to do a thread on Colluvial gold to enlighten us please do so. Cheers Wal. [B]Mod Edit: [/B]Posts split to new thread Wal where the definitions can now be discussed without cluttering up your thread. [/QUOTE]
