[QUOTE="loamer, post: 142559, member: 981"] also see the following articles. this debate, as far as I can see, is far from settled. there are several unexplained nuggets in odd locations reported over the years. several theories - dropped, carried by Aboriginal tribes, formed in situ etc etc. If you troll through some of the Uni sites, Adelaide Uni did a lot of work over in the GT some years ago, you will find many interesting articles on gold formation theories. As an aside, about 7 years or so ago we did some work with them. really nice blokes and down to earth, especially after a few frothies. funny to watch the gold fever take over when out patch hunting for samples. we did get into a debate about Indicators, but that's a whole other topic.
