[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 398376, member: 68"] when you think about it the old miners worked on an ounce to the ton witch is very poor 28 grams or 31 grams if it was in troy ounce for 1000 kgs of rock crushed. some places you can find more in creeks in just 4 days work however with the technology today you can put whole mountains into crushers in baulk and with chemicals recover a lot more gold and make it worth it. so for the average small scale miner you want to be finding around 2 or more ounces per ton to make it worth while chasseing it because unlike the big company's you can't just crush up whole mountains and treat the ore chemically that easy and get 100% of the gold recovered it will always be locked up in sulphide minerals such as pyrite.
