That makes more sense. Also there can be locations where basement rock is overthrust on top of undisturbed sedimentary rock which could contain oil. For example in Western Scotland I've actually seen at a road side where the Gneiss is lying on top of Torridonian (pre-Cambrian) sandstone. There is a major overthrust zone there. The Torridonian area is a bit of Canada that got left behind when the Atlantic broke open. The Rockies have a major overthrust over less disturbed sediments to their West. Many Mountain systems do. So who knows maybe there is some sedminentary rock buried under "basement rocks" in the areas that Gold has drilled in. I'd have to read what he has actually published....
