Well I think he is talking about placer or gravel leads not quartz veins. I don't know if any quartz vein gold -Pt mines. I am not saying it does not occur as I have heard of quartz vein platinum. Yes it is rare. But I could not rule it out. I will not say that those weird veins in the southwest could not harbour some animal like that though. Those areas do harbour lots of liars. That is well known. If the deposit is genuine there should be oodles of informative literature on it of the scientific kind. If that is not forthcoming, I would be doubtful. I did run into a vein of Pt and Osmium that was massive sulphides. It was up to 18% nickel and did run gold and high pt minerals. It was weird. Inco looked at it but would not take samples. They did ask us how much the buy out was. Then they refused to make a deal when we refused to be bought out. It still lies fallow. There are some rare birds but documentation should be looked at. I would not believe that one unless I could take samples of the vein myself where it could not have been shotgunned. Sticking all sorts of pt and gold into a shotgun shell and blasting the outcrop is a popular technique that yields high spot assays. The stuff will bury itself in cracks up to six inches deep and is harder than hell to spot as a phoney. EC<:-}
