[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 644276, member: 4386"] Hi - Beechworth goldfield is a big area and much of the gold came from upstream of there, However in the area you mention the rock would be granite of Devonian age (the Mt Pilot batholith on the attached map). None of the gold is coming out of that granite (most of the tin is) - the gold is simply being washed downstream from Beechworth and from upstream of Beechworth from the gold-bearing quartz reefs in Palaeozoic metasedimentary rocks shown on the map.
