... True or false Family?

I say false, besides, who wants to exchange an earthquake for such a tiny amount of gold?


While scientists have long suspected that sudden pressure drops could account for the link between giant gold deposits and ancient faults, the study takes this idea to the extreme, said Jamie Wilkinson, a geochemist at Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, who was not involved in the study.

Earthquakes Turn Water Into Gold

The tyrannosaur of the minerals, this gold nugget in quartz weighs more than 70 ounces (2 kilograms).


Earthquakes have the Midas touch, a new study claims.
Water in faults vaporizes during an earthquake, depositing gold, according to a model published in the March 17 issue of the journal Nature Geoscience. The model provides a quantitative mechanism for the link between gold and quartz seen in many of the world'sgold deposits, said Dion Weatherley, a geophysicist at the University of Queensland in Australia and lead author of the study.
When an earthquake strikes, it moves along a rupture in the ground — a fracture called a fault. Big faults can have many small fractures along their length, connected by jogs that appear as rectangular voids. Water often lubricates faults, filling in fractures and jogs.

Peace In,


 
The science seems to be sound. Thus the trick is to know where to look

But there's disagreement in the ranks Kemetstry, the W's seem to think differently; and yes, it would take a trick to find it... :rofl:

"To me, it seems pretty plausible. It's something that people would probably want to model either experimentally or numerically in a bit more detail to see if it would actually work," Wilkinson told OurAmazingPlanet.

Weatherley said the amount of gold left behind after an earthquake is tiny, because underground fluids carry at most only one part per million of the precious element. But an earthquake zone likeNew Zealand's Alpine Fault, one of the world's fastest, could build a mineable deposit in 100,000 years, he said.

No one has disproven it
