[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 428054, member: 4386"] Unsure why you say this. There are glacial deposits around Beechworth, and alluvial diamonds in the area are probably derived from them, but there is no reason to suppose that the gold is related to them. The gold is fairly clearly locally derived from quartz veins in the Ordovician rocks of the area, from which it can be traced continuously. The tin of the area is from a different source again, the Devonian granite. A stream that flows over all three will happily concentrate alluvial deposits of all three.
