[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 444431, member: 4386"] Surfacing was what we would more strictly call eluvial gold. Gold shed from a reef(s) and strewn downslope (or overlying the reef(s)) - at surface in the "soil". Different from alluvial gold, in which water has had a chance to concentrate the gold in gullies etc. So surfacing is working of shallow gold between the reef that sourced the gold, and the gully or stream in which the gold is first concentrated by the flow of water. Not really to do with richness or clay layers (often on bedrock though) [/QUOTE]
