"livescience" Reveals New Data on Gold Deposit Formation



Here is an interesting scientific study showing the time it can take to form gold.  A gold deposit named Ladolam on Lihir Island in Papua New Guinea is the site of an interesting finding. Out of a valcano in rising hot water, a gold deposit was formed in 55,000 years. That is, ONLY 55,000 years! Since the planet Earth is billions of years old, 55,000 years is but a drop in the bucket. Check this out for more information about gold formation, sampling, total mieable gold in Ladolam, and how technology there leads to green solutions.
