[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 185209, member: 3682"] Yeh its a tough one Hann! This is the way i see it mate. Gold in very minute quantities of PPM is virtually everywhere......its known as 'Background Gold' Its most likely in your backyard, your nature strip etc etc. Such small quantities dont mean a deposit of substantial benefit in terms of economical extraction, lay's near by! A decent deposit that proves its worth for economical extraction value (ie. in assay;s of grams per tonne), would be shedding gold every day/month/year if it were nearby. This would ofcourse mean good visible gold to the eye, enabling it to be panned for color, thereby meaning an ability to zero in on any deposit. The minute quantities you are concerned with would require expensive extraction chemical processes which would make it unviable to the small ML holder in my opinion. Regards Meta ;) [/QUOTE]
