<<csl.v - what if you could hoover up saleable construction sand and gravel by the millions of yards from some crick, and get a bit of placer gold as gravy?>> LOL! Add in an environmental solution to the Coroni's serious mercury pollution problem, new employment for the out-of-work river-miners, oodles of taxes for the Venezuelan government, and a very tightly held stock that would fly if this thing ever gets its permits. It's a great project, but boy do you need patience! Regards, Howy

Well gold is concentrated by a placer. It may be rich near source but in getting mixed with other native heavies further away, it concentrates by washing in an environment removed from source -- a "short" distance. Near source it may be washed away, especially in a surface exposed mountain environment. It is a very localized and variable rule, made no doubt to be broken. I have observed it in Ontario and BC. With glacial effects it may be reversed if there is heavy dispersion and mixing. For a placer in flatland to form, you need a high action glacial river. Most drift gold in Ontario is a whisp of a shadow and cannot be used to trace float except in very highly controlled sampling of rigourous volume and concentration/assay methods, and usually only generally. In the mountains it is easier to make projections as the lay of the land and the scarcity of gold except in rivers nearby gold deposits, make its presence speak more plainly about directions. Thirst of the soul can also be satisfied by beer, or marijahoochie, if one derides the narcosis as being merely inconvenient in ones' research. Going out of ones mind or body the better to see the starsiverse or the illogicality of man and society requires, it would seem, coming back to a plane of dignity whereby one can effectively communicate the insight. This is lost on some who would want to continue to seek enlightenment and keep it to themselves. Malt did more than Milton can to justify god's ways to man. Beer, beer's the drink for those for whom it hurts to think. EC<:-}
