What is the difference between alluvial and quartz mining?
The word Alluvial describes a type of soil. It can be made up of sand, silt, clay, gravel, or other matter deposited by flowing water. Alluvial Mining is when a prospector gets the gold bearing soil from a creek, river or river deposits. Once they gather the soil and refine the material to concentrate they use a gold pan to pan for gold- the gold they find is called alluvial gold. Quartz reef mining is when it is mined from the source. Its particles of gold embedded in quartz. The difference between alluvial and quartz mining is that alluvial mining takes place far from the source of the gold and found in rivers and creeks. Quartz mining takes place at the source of the gold.
