    The reason the gold settles in the Quartz is because when Quartz is originally formed it is coagulated in a hot mess. The gold rises to the surface as a sort of Thermal cooling. So what you see as hardened rock was once a pool of hot, liquid.

    OK. #1. Please check out the fact that "Gold" is 100% man made! #2. Please check out the fact that there is no such thing as a mountain. No matter who you are and what the so called reason is for any individual person or any group of individuals to be venturing inside any one of these utterly devastated melted down red brick buildings of our Old World, #3. please do find out why A COMPLETE AND UTTER PARASITE LIE OR TOTAL FABRICATED COMPLETELY MADE UP PARASITE STORY MUST ALWAYS BE TOLD ABOUT IT 100% OF THE TIME! #4. Please check out what is so wrong with the TRUTH?

    "Just one years gold production using modern mining abilities. Is equal to two hundred years of using old roman mining abilities. I guess the government masterminds are playing catch up."

    The old miners gave the industry a bad name, but today with what we have available in terms of tools and technology we should be exploiting out own resources rather than foreign. The world needs gold and runs on gold, and gold is eternal.
